Every so often American Spectator serves up one of these pro-Lincoln gems. If you just ate you may want to hold off on reading it so you don’t lose your lunch. My thoughts are in the comment section, and in general my fellow commenters are making me proud. Pro-Lincoln hagiography no longer goes unchallenged on conservative websites, as it should be.
Does anyone know anything about the author Roger Kaplan? I’ve Googled him and have found out some stuff, but I’m curious what his educational background is. This article is pure Jaffaite Lincoln revisionism.

Yes, Sir, it is indeed refreshing reading the many anti-Tyrant posts. As I’ve said before, this march towards *Socialism/Communism may be the best thing that ever happened for the Cause, as secession is the flavor of the day.
* Socialism invariably turns into Communism.

Lincoln is the Founding Father of the modern US Empire. He must be venerated for the sake of perpetuating the supposed legitimacy of the welfare/warfare state.
