How ironic that Obama’s inaugural theme song is inspired by Abraham Lincoln and called “A New Birth of Freedom”. The title is taken from Lincoln’s Gettysburg address, which he gave after decisively robbing the citizens of the Confederate states of their freedom during the Civil War.
A New Birth of Tyranny is more like it.

Since arriving on the national stage, many educated people have compared Barack Hussein Obama to Abraham Lincoln in glowing terms. Obama himself has an interesting, if not peculiar, love affair with the nation’s 16th president. From quoting Lincoln to emulating his historic activities, such as his 2007 speech on the steps of the Springfield Capitol and his 2009 train ride to history, Obama seems to have embraced and even assumed the persona of Lincoln.There is one problem, however, by those who continue to elevate Obama to ‘Lincoln status,’ and for Obama himself. They are correct, but not for the reasons they promote. Meanwhile, Americans might be watching history preparing to be repeated, which does not bode well for the United States - the Union, or Obama - the man.
Despite the fact that there have been more books written about the life of Lincoln than any other U.S. President, the average person would be hard-pressed to learn the real truth about Lincoln from these works.
The truth about Lincoln seems to be well protected from modern discovery by self-appointed ‘Lincoln scholars,’ as they have busily revised history to fit their official narrative. After all, Lincoln is considered to be the most important political figure in U.S. history because the Civil War “so fundamentally transformed the nature of American government.”(i) Accordingly, they cannot permit the truth to get in the way of an acceptable legend, as doing so might cause Americans to realize the extent of the lies we’ve been living under.
Students of non-revisionist history understand that the Civil War under
Lincoln did indeed fundamentally transform the United States in a manner
few will discuss, for it is this transformation that Obama is also
emulating and refining.

Lincoln and Obama are one and the same. Onliest differences are, one was a Peckerwood invader, and the other a Ghetto Cracker antagonist!

DeleteJust been writing on that very thing in varying ways. Really boils down to two types of mindsets in people. One being conservative, the other liberal. One side believes the US Con is to be read literal. The other side believes it to be read figuratively. It's all in how you read it and that is what defines the mentality of the person.

Or, how they wish to read it.:)
DeleteFiguratively EQUALS how one wishes to read it.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes this so bad is when they have the power to enforce it!
Now do you even more similarities between Lincoln and Obama?
