GLENN BECK IS A TOTAL MORON PART 2

Glenn Beck loves to rant and rave about slavery and the evil Southerners who left the USA because they refused to free their slaves when Lincoln told them to. Beck's grasp on American history is juvenile at best. He continues to put Southerners on the "stool of shame" without ever investigating the true history of the War Between the States. Instead he laps up all lies and falsehoods put out by Wall Builders and regurgitates them as truth. What an ass!

Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution gives to the Executive Branch the command of the nation’s armed forces, while Article I, Section 8 gives to the Legislative Branch the power to decide when the United States goes to war. And Lincoln did NOT have the approval of Congress when he declared war on the CSA. Also, slavery was constitutional until the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865, so the Emancipation Proclamation actually amounted to a federal seizure of private property.

@dburt1 You keep screaming "Plagiarism!" every time I cite facts. Where are you getting all your "original thoughts"? Apparently out of your ass! You discredit all sources I have cited as irrelevant. Obviously your sources are 8th grade drivel written about your hero Lincoln by revisionist historians. Again, since slavery was not illegal at the time Lincoln invaded the South and you say the War was not over States Rights or taxes, please be so kind and tell us all why Lincoln invaded the CSA!

@dburt1 Abraham Lincoln's record as a protectionist and support for the Morrill Tariff bill helped him to secure support in the important electoral college states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Lincoln carried Pennsylvania handily in November, as part of his sweep of the North.Two additional tariffs sponsored by Morrill, each one higher, were passed during Abraham Lincoln's administration. Passage was possible because Southerners had left Congress after their states declared their secession.

@dburt1 Why don't you tell us exactly what gave your hero, Lincoln, the right to invade the Confederate States of America, a sovereign nation, since slavery was not illegal at the time.

@AmericanMilitiamen god...so much plagiarism. Can't you write anything of your own? This story of the South paying 87% of revenues from tariffs is soooo old and boring. Why don't you tell where this 87% was collected on imports in 1860. Was it New Orleans? Charleston? Mobile? Maybe Houston. Maybe St Louis or Nashville. Please, tell me. I can't wait.

And while you're at it, please tell what kinds of expenditures were made on "the North" too.

@AmericanMilitiamen As further evidence that the tariff had nothing to do with secession, when the bill was passed in the Senate and became law, it caused none of the remaining slave states to secede. You simply don't know what you are talking about....but, you are very predictable. I've seen this all so many times before. Why don't you try getting on a forum where knowledgeable people can teach you something. Really. Your story has gone down in flames so many times before.

@AmericanMilitiamen Not much time for your nonsense tonight. Lincoln did not campaign for the 1860 tariff bill. He was not even the republican candidate when the bill was passed in the House. As I already told you, he DID NOT sign the bill into law. Buchanan did. It was already law when Lincoln took office. Before the bill was passed in the Senate, all of the deep South had already seceded. Had they stayed, they had the numbers to defeat the bill in the Senate. Your timeline is fucked.

@dburt1 If slavery was legal in the USA and later in the CSA from 1776 until 1865 how could Lincoln possibly attack the South in 1861 for seceding if slavery were the issue as you claim. Slavery was practiced in both the North and the South and could only be ended by law, not at the point of a bayonet. You are a Lincoln worshiper as are most people today because of the revisionist history taught in our dismal public schools. Lincoln was an American Caesar who invaded the CSA without legal cause!

@dburt1 Lincoln The Dictator: When Lincoln illegally suspended habeas corpus, John Merryman was arrested for insurrectionary activities. Merryman petitioned for a habeas corpus writ, which Chief Justice Taney granted. The commanding officer at Fort McHenry refused to release Merryman, citing Lincoln's edict. With the army loyal to Lincoln, Taney couldn't enforce his order and railed against the president while Merryman was in jail for seven more weeks. After being freed, he was never tried!

@dburt1 Charles W. Smith, a biographer of Taney (1973), gives this account of the scope of the arrests of civilians: Without the sanction of law the federal government arrested men by the thousands and confined them in military prisons. The number of such executive arrests was certainly over 13,000, and it has been estimated to have been as high as 38,000 (Columbia Law Review, XXI, 527–28, 1921). These are proven facts that cannot be swept under the rug by Lincoln cult followers like you.
