Then he tells us, with that Emancipation Proclamation, that the war is about eliminating slavery for good.
Northern Democrat 2: All these soldiers that died for a lie…
ND 1: And tell me this hasn’t been the most mismanaged war in history.
We had way too few troops at Bull Run.
ND 2: Yeah, Lincoln’s Secretary of State Seward said the war would be
over in two months. Jeez. Now, all this time later we’re in this unwinnable
quagmire. Lincoln has no plan!
ND 1: And the Europeans hate us…
ND 2: So much for our constitutional freedoms with that unlawful Writ of Habeas
Corpus. I’m sure the government is reading the mail sent to me by my Virginia
cousin.
ND 1: Wasn’t he the guy that was trying to smuggle Union rifles out of
Maryland?
ND 2: Yeah, but you can’t just hold a guy in prison on the flimsy evidence
they have. Lincon’s abrogating the Constitution!
ND 1: He didn’t even get Congress to approve the Writ – he just
did it.
ND 2: And those Republicans think that Sherman’s capturing of Atlanta
is a big deal – but did they capture the capitol, Richmond? No!
ND 1: Even former Democratic President Franklin Pierce said Lincoln is responsible
for “all the woe … all the degradation, all the atrocity, all the
desolation and ruin” in our country. Lincoln is Ghengis Khan!
ND 2: The Peace Democrats have it right: This war is lost – let’s
just give the Confederacy it’s own country and be done with it. We need
a timetable for an immediate pull out.
ND 1: Yeah, war is not the answer. Besides, the slaves should fight for their
own freedom if they want it so bad.
ND 2: If we don’t win the election in November, we must find a way to
impeach Lincoln.
ND 1: Yes! He surely is the worst president in American history.
