    His suspension of Habeas Corpus has always bothered me. I read some kind of quote once that said the Constitution is not there for when times are good but for when times are tough. Lincoln ignored that.

    You used a lot more words to say what I said. I might also add... that Lincoln "freed the slaves"... and Obama has raised the bar of his predecessors in making us slaves. There's some irony in there that I won't get into.

    Lincoln's only honest act was to defy the bankers and print Greenbacks. He wasn't given a second chance.
    Lincoln was first and always a politician who wanted power. He served those industries that supported his election, and paid them back with high tariffs and his war against economic freedom of the states that imported manufactured goods from Europe.
    Yes, Lincoln and O have a lot more in common than the OP stated. Both big government, anti-liberty traitors who ignored their constitutional responsibilities for personal power.
    The big difference: O lives.

    Technically Obama is not even a tall skinny lawyer. He inactivated his law license years ago.

    Just a tall skinny stammerer

    C'mon, be honest here - Presidents cannot enact laws, only Congress can do that, and the P either signs such into law or not. However you want to characterize what L or O have done as P, it has not been to create laws.

    Uh k. "3. Passed the 16 th Amendment but did not get rid of the Draft. " The 16th Amendment was enacted in 1913. Did you mean the 13th Amendment?

    I agree he would support the terrible 16th Amendment but it was adopted in 1909 and ratified in 1913 a very bad year where the Fed was also established as national curse. And I'm not a tall skinny lawyer.

    The threshold keeps getting lower. Soon belonging to the TEA party or the Gulch will be enough to keep us from getting firearms and ammo.

    I'm with you on that. It also concerns me that they could arrest someone for stocking up on ammo or something else that the government thinks is bad. It can be anything once it is allowed to start.

    I love that quote. My concern would be if we allow "them" to arrest that guy for no reason how long before I am a suspect.

    Ya I just don't understand the French.

    I have been struggling with this guy (Islam convert) that got arrested at the gun store for buying a couple AR's. I'm sure I do not know the entire story but wonder how this person could be arrested until he actually committed a crime. I don't want people killed by this guy but at the same time it is scary that we have allowed our government to find out about them the way they are. I keep coming back to a Ben Franklin quote, ”Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”

    Point number two:
    Lincoln came from Illinois. Obama comes from Kenya.
    Fixed it for you.

    Yes it has. People are willing to do almost anything to feel safe. I saw an interesting article the other day, however, that said a survey in France showed the French were not ready to give up more freedoms for safety. I thought then why did you elect a socialist...
