Does anyone else believe that Abraham Lincoln was looking ahead in time?

Question

When Abraham Lincoln made the statement" Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled or hanged" was he referring to Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, John Murtha, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Joe Biden?

Answer 1

if he were here today he surly would; and he would be appalled that the senior editors and news deciders, (who cut their teeth on opposition to Vietnam,and are now in a position of authority to deliberately and with malice aforethought "cherry-pick" the news to show only the bad from Iraq and about our military ) are being allowed, for the second time in a generation, to give aid and comfort to the enemy.

Answer 2

I seriously doubt that Lincoln had any specific names from our time. I do think it curious when "legal experts" gather on TV and tells us that whatever it was that happened does not constitute "treason" no matter what the action was. I cannot think of ANY action that they would call treason. How can the word have meaning with no application? Yet I know that the founding fathers had a meaning for the word, else why would they use it?

I often see examples of actions that I believe to be treason. It is not exactly your list, but the criminals loudly cry out that their "freedom of speech" justifies giving "aid and comfort" to the enemy. The sad thing is that the American public not only tolerates this, but elects these people to public office!

Answer 3

I completely concur with Yankee Sailor.
Jane Fonda anyone? That was treason.
Abraham Lincoln was NOT referring to those you listed much less Jane Fonda.
I'm with Yankee re: the (supposed to be) news folks who are supposed to report the news - not make it or write it to fit their own political agenda.
I think most of you are too young to remember Viet Nam and don't know enough about REAL treason. I'm not trying to be mean - you've been brought up watching CNN. Just for a different perspective (I don't always agree with him, either) - try O'Reilly. He might be an idiot, but he IS more factual than fanatic.

Answer 4

He replaced into conscious that it replaced into particular factions who had to split this u . s . a . in 2, and those factions have been the comparable as people who introduced the indoors maximum important economic company referred to as The Federal Reserve into being, by using an act of fraud against the american human beings. They tried to make certain a important economic company for the period of Lincoln's time, and different cases, yet failed each and every time to make it stick....till 1913. Lincoln replaced into attentive to the prospect of the two splitting this u . s . a . in 2, and of the corporate of a private important economic company controlling the money grant of this u . s . a .. And he fought against the two. Our founding fathers have been additionally attentive to the hazards of the indoors maximum important economic company controlling our money grant, and that's the common reason tha they fought for our freedom as a rustic. The version of history that maximum folk are taught in school is intentionally deceptive, or maybe bogus! *sm*

Answer 5

No, he had much bigger problems than minor political differences. The people you mention - and I won't comment on the validity of your list - are not trying to detroy the country, aide traitors, consort and benefit enemies killing your citizens daily.

Answer 6

Not to those individuals in particular, but his remarks certainly apply to George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice, David Wolfowicz, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez and
scum like Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reiley...

Answer 7

Ha. Ha. No, he wasn't. And do you dare to compare the unnecessary disaster in Iraq with the American Civil War?
I'll bet you cherry pick Bible quotations the way you're doing with Lincoln.
Don't look now: your ignorance is showing.
