Abraham Lincoln's Two-Edged Sword


If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was
and never will be. -- Thomas Jefferson

"Over the course of several weeks, perhaps even longer, I've been seeing quite a bit of attention being paid to Judge Andrew Napolitano’s book entitled, Dred Scott's Revenge. In case your government school fell down on the job: Dred Scott was a slave in the United States who sued unsuccessfully (in St. Louis, Missouri) for his freedom in 1857. The Supreme Court upheld that America’s black slaves were 'non-persons' who therefore did not qualify for the privilege of freedom. This decision is the centerpiece of Napolitano's book. Fox News pundit and resident clown Glen Beck said Napolitano's book "lays out 150 years of our national experience... and places the blame for much of what’s wrong squarely at the feet of those responsible: the federal government and politicians whose plans, policies, and programs trashed the Constitution." Fellow neocon Geraldo Rivera said about Dred Scott’s Revenge: "In this sharply written narrative, the Judge shows us how race remains the driving force in almost every aspect of American life, from education to law enforcement. Dred Scott, the person, would have appreciated this graphic and honest appraisal.”

Now having related the above: while doing some perfunctory research
for this podcast I was amazed at the number of contradictory recorded
statements president Lincoln made regarding the very things he is best
known for: slavery, the War Between the States and the Constitution.

In fact it almost seems as though Honest Abe either had a split
personality or was able to pigeonhole ideas and facts while he ignored
reality. On one hand he regarded black slaves as inferior to white
Americans and wished them gone, while on the other hand he desired to
give them blanket citizenship with all of the same rights accorded
their hosts. Moreover, while he claimed to uphold the Constitution as
it stood he nevertheless felt it was the government’s duty to do
whatever it took, including violence, to keep the South from lawfully
seceding. The fact that president Lincoln is held up as a paragon of
virtue and tolerance by the majority of people and institutions
suggests to me a political agenda rather than a reflection of his
alleged morality. We’ll let the historians continue to hash out this
paradox, but for our purposes we’ll go with the premise in Judge
Napolitano’s book: that Abraham Lincoln was actually a despot who
singlehandedly gave birth to the unconstitutional government we have
today.

Of course, the premise for the accolades of this book (and others too
numerous to list) is the idea that Abraham Lincoln was exposed;
exposed for tyrannically using the issue of slavery to decapitate the
Constitution in order to crush the South which [under the
Constitution] had every right to secede from the Union. Lincoln had to
pretend to be against slavery in order to garner support from the
north. The "real" Lincoln did not care at all about black slavery, did
not think racial equality with blacks was a good idea, and said as
much. However, at the core of the "real" Lincoln's ambition—regardless
what he thought of slavery and blacks-- was a latter-day Republicrat
commitment to a bigger central government within a forced union,
secession be damned, and the use of race as a pretext to accomplish
his goal. In other words Lincoln talked out of both sides of his mouth
and carried a two edged sword to enforce his deception. In short, the
bloodiest war in American history could have been avoided. Moreover
all the other countries of the world that ended slavery in the
nineteenth century, such as Britain, Spain, France, Denmark, the
Dutch, did so without provoking a war; Also there were no civil wars
to free the slaves in states like Massachusetts, New York (where
slavery existed for over 200 years), or Illinois. Slavery would have
eventually ended on its own even in the deep south and Lincoln knew
that, period.

While we can certainly agree with Judge Napolitano that Lincoln was a
demigod and a tyrant, we can also say whites did owe American blacks
the rights they would accord any human beings. But not at our expense
like we are neither doing now; not for the sake of bogus equality
which tears down the best to make room for the worst; nor do we owe
apologies or reparations for the institution of slavery as they have
been offered in Washington DC. In fact any apologies already given
should be rescinded right now. Blathering on about its “injustice,
cruelty, brutality and inhumanity of slavery,” as the House of
Representatives masochistically put it, slavery was still the means
that most blacks were able to become Americans. Slavery, not
constitutional right, has been and always will be their primary ticket
to citizenship no matter what anyone says.



And now that the descendants of slaves are firmly ensconced in the
American political social and media landscape-- a race President
Lincoln believed could not be assimilated into white society-- we can
say with absolute certainty that the marginally black Barack Obama won
the election for a number fairly obvious reasons:

1] Aside from the unrealistic notion of immediate free money transfers
from the Treasury to their bank accounts, blacks voted for him on
racial terms alone -- because he's black. No more, no less. Anything
else that happens subsequent to his election is a moot point for these
people.

2] Its get-back time for whitey in spite of blacks’ euphoria and phony
calls for good will and Napolitano should know this above all else.
Practically none of Obama's supporters can articulate one policy Obama
has in mind or has ever accomplished with most white supporters I’m
sorry to say being just as vapid.

3] The hyper-leftist-Frankfurt-School-white-baiting American media and
education system has been prepping and preening the European American
psyche for decades in spite of the fact the idea of racial equality,
according to Lincoln, is and was sheer absurdity.

4] Many whites not only accepted our recent Obamacide moment but have
actually facilitated it via white guilt. We all know people who have
admitted as such. There's no use in anyone ever denying it either. The
evidence is everywhere in what passes for modern American "culture"
and we can see it every day.

5] The apathetic or enthusiastic acceptance of cultural racial
identifiers such as rap, FUBU, miscegenation, Affirmative Action, the
Congressional Black Caucus, Jackson, Sharpton, etc, signals to us that
blacks will never move on to deal with their inherent problems because
they will always be waiting for whitey to fix the problems for them.

6] The wizard-of-oz-man-behind-the-curtain American federal government
and their diversity mongering corporate donors have contributed by
default to Obama's election for decades, often citing Abraham
Lincoln's racial egalitarianism and his desire to keep the Union
together as an excuse for the imposition of dismal equality and
mandated multiculturalism. But don’t look for people like Judge
Napolitano to address this issue. Not only would he never again sell a
single book, in his mind, and in the mind of his supporters a Haitian
populated America would be just as successful and just as patriotic as
a European populated America was, say, in the late fifties / early
sixties.

7] In terms of tax dollars to non-white pressure groups, along with
hate crime legislation directed mostly at European Americans, and
politically correct university indoctrination -- also directed at
European Americans -- the system effectively scares European Americans
half to death with threats of job loss, legal nightmares and even
violence. Lincoln did that too in a different age only on a war
footing.

These seven reasons [among others] are at the core of Barack Obama’s
election as president. So I think we can agree Americans overall have
made history, as the dumbest body of voters on earth. Just wait. As
Obama’s Lincoln-like nationalized pipe dreams accelerate, as they are
now, it might somehow “prove” to be whitey’s fault, like everything
else is as far as blacks (as a group) are concerned, and things will
simply get worse. (ADL) In conclusion then, Lincoln was a cold blooded
tyrant and a dictator as far as the War Between the States goes, and
we can agree with Judge Napolitano on that point. Now if those kinds
of words, tyrant and dictator, are too harsh for the politically
correct crowd, we can still agree that Lincoln violated the
Constitutional right of the south to secede; and in order for him to
do so required unimaginable force and ice thin justifications among
his supporters. Lincoln's motives for the unqualified destruction of
the South and the micro managed death of around 350,000 European
Americans are clear -- and he should never be forgiven.

That's one edge of the sword.

Now, while we can also agree that President Lincoln often gave
conflicting views of slavery, racial equality and the constitution, he
nevertheless for the most part was right about the black population;
hinting on some level what desegregation and racial equality would
eventually bring white Americans: things like affirmative action, anti
white hate laws, the rise of violence among black and white activists,
loss of freedom of association, the 14th amendment, the 16th
amendment, Third World immigration, all of which and more is the other
edge of the sword. In fact it would be safe to say president Lincoln
would have agreed with the great-great-grandson of Comanche leader Bad
Eagle David Yeagley when he said: "Therefore, integration tends to
mean elimination for the white race. That’s simply the way of the
genetic world. That the white race became the most powerful, dominant,
ruling race may be attributed to cultural values more than anything
else.[snip]Disguised though it may be in moral and religious terms,
political terms, or even genetic terms, the case is fairly obvious:
“the hated white race” is such for its beauty and power."

Now there’s a thought [white] corporate hacks like Napolitano wouldn’t
touch with a ten foot pole!

Because Fox News neocons, libertarians [like Napolitano] and leftists
act as if race doesn't matter they bend over backwards to make us
believe everything is simply a matter of individual rights. Even
someone as confused and hypocritical as Abraham Lincoln knew better
than that. In fact it now seems blacks in America have taken a cue
from Lincoln, the racially prejudiced totalitarian, and are as
ethnically attentive as he was; and they are using the same two edged
sword he used to cut down our people’s durability and destiny. It is
high time for thinking, gutsy European Americans to unsheathe a
hardened single edged sword and get to work."


"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of
bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the
white and black races - that I am not nor ever have been in favor of
making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold
office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in
addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white
and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races
living together on terms of social and political equality. And
inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there
must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any
other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the
white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because
the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be
denied everything."
