Lincoln & Social Disintegration

Jeffrey Tucker, blogger ar lfb, is a master of his craft. When it comes to book reviewing, there is no equal. Whether it be in video or written format, his prose and emotion lead to the lengthening of my reading list. Here he strikes again.

The subject is Abraham Lincoln. Was he so great a president that we needed his image engraved in the stone idol of South Dakota? Or, is he the epitome of salivating centralized power cravers that feed in the trough alternatively known as the State? Here is a taste of Tucker's insight

Reading Fallon, two great problems with Abraham Lincoln emerge: his means and his ends. The means were themselves horrifying, and the new Lincoln movie provides only a hint of it with the piles of limbs and bodies that variously appear in battlefield and hospice scenes. This war was ghastly and unnecessary (Britain ended slavery peacefully just 30 years earlier, as Thomas DiLorenzo frequently points out). He ordered mass executions. He made the Bill of Rights a dead letter. 

Leading an invasion that vanquishes 700,000 humans does not lead to social cooperation. Such antisocial behavior leads to social disintegration. Promulgation of history through the lens of Liberalism is a must in cases where a man's reputation is far from accurately portraying him. Revisionism is the right remedy to State propagandizing via the public school system, and public sector hiring.
