Entry: On Lincoln-Bashing Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/on_lincoln_bashing#24963 Post contents: I think we are splitting hairs on this one. To me Lincoln is the president who to paraphrase Gandalf in the movie version Fellowship of the ring, ....when did Saruman the wise abandon reason for madness? It cannot be argued whatever the intent of Lincoln, and who can truly know this?, the result for our society has been an abandonment of reason for universalist abstracts. Even to the point of waging a war of aggresion killing in excess of 500,000 Americans to enforce those abstracts. This madness has become the norm in our upside down world where both progressives and conservatives support this thinking. The ironic thing is we condemn foreign leaders for doing the exact thing Lincoln did even though they do it on a much smaller scale. Sent at: 2008 07 24
