I saw this story
yesterday. What a bummer. I don't think we've seen this level of division and raw hatred since the War of Rebellion era. Certainly it would be hard to match the vitriol leveled against Lincoln, but I think we have. To wit:
The Massachusetts abolitionist Lysander Spooner excoriated the Lincoln regime for "destroying the voluntary
union of the founders, waging an unnecessary war, and above all
else, failing to end slavery peacefully as all other nations where
slavery existed in the nineteenth century had done." He used words like "jesuitical " against the Lincolns. That's how they talked back then.
You, sir, are a knave!
Oh yeah? Well you're a jesuitical bumpkin!
Pistols at dawn, sir!
Today they would call him Hitler. Or schmucks like Central Connecticut State University student Ryan Yeomans would pen "Lincoln or Beelzebub: Who is More Evil?" What makes it doubly hard to stomach is that the Yeomans will
support Hillary Clinton's bid for the White House, and are the same
people who defended her husband's criminal White House
enterprise. WTF?

Hey asshole, look over there!
Wha ...

"Maryland, My Maryland," the official state song of Maryland was composed in 1861 and contains these lyrics.
| “ |
- The despot's (Lincoln) heel is on thy shore,
- Maryland!
- His torch is at thy temple door,
- Maryland!
- Avenge the patriotic gore
- That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
- And be the battle queen of yore,
- Maryland! My Maryland!
and later:
- I hear the distant thunder-hum,
- Maryland!
- The Old Line's bugle, fife, and drum,
- Maryland!
- She is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb-
- Huzza! she spurns the Northern scum!
- She breathes! she burns! she'll come! she'll come!
- Maryland! My Maryland!

Were I to write it today it would probably sound like
In my down times I'll admit to plotting
ways to get about 2 million selected left-wing MFCS to a remote spot in
the Mojave Desert where my B-52's single nuke will make things all
better, but cause no collateral damage. Fortunately for them, I can't even
afford a new camera, let alone the required fuel. I spend all my
money on Prozac and Jack Daniels (That's
some expensive shit. I think Hillary wants to give it to me for free
which, of course, will free up a lot of funds. How's that for
irony?).

I mean all of this in the good way, of course. Like if I was a preacher trying to save souls.
Amen.
