Abraham Lincoln is praised and idolized by the great majority of Americans for being a great American and one of the greatest Presidents. The reason Americans feel the way they do about Lincoln is because we learned it in school, government schools. History is always written by those who win the wars. True to form the history of Lincoln has been grossly misrepresented by those who want big government and supported him in his life long effort to accomplish big government. And after he was dead those big government supporters have continued for 150 years to misrepresent his unconstitutional grab for Federal power over the states, from which America has not recovered. This list comes as a great shock to most Americans.

So, why do we honor Lincoln? It’s simple.  We have been educated in government schools that have fed us incorrect, misleading, and outright lies about him in order to perpetuate big government and keep Americans ignorant, just as the south kept the slaves ignorant.  The schools as well as the people in government have brainwashed Americans.  It has worked beautifully and continues to work beautifully towards complete slavery.  A sweet talking President can get away with almost anything.  By looking at the above list one can see that the current President has already done many of those items and will certainly do more if allowed.  There is no question of why the current President lionizes Lincoln.  It is because he is using Lincoln’s script to continue the march toward serfdom, or even complete slavery of the American people.  Each and every item on this list is a threat to Freedom. So, those who support even one is a threat to Freedom. 

 

When the people in a country lose the FOCUS ON FREEDOM bad things happen. Read the book "The Real Lincoln," by Thomas J. Dilorenze for a more complete picture.
