Bush is worst President in American history...

[county]

....and a fcuking moron to boot.

He's a murderer for killing millions of Iraq's and thousands of American troops.

And he's lined his buddies pockets with gold while doing it.

I'll just skip the parts about the economy.

Yeah. You are right.
Now let me piss you off a little.
And he's commited the perfect crime. In a year he'll walk away with out so much as blood stain on his presed shirts.
He will move to Texas where he will grow old slowly and in good health and die sorrounded by his familly and close friends.
Mean while the poor kid who suffered from soft tissue trama while serving in Iraq will slowly be going broke paying for his medication because the VA has gone belly up.
There is no justice in this world my friend.
The rich get richer above the law.
The poor will be ground down into the dirt and we the middle class....well there is allways Mexico.

No I think he's a part of the 80% of americans who just want your boy to be held accountable for his actions. But we all know nothing will come of it.
After all....he is gods other kid right?

[Desp]

Umm, bad, Yes. Worst? No. I'd probably say do some research on Lincoln and then get back to us.

[SlowGoose]

Hmmm...... Lincoln the worst President....


By what criteria? Please spell that one out for the slow kids.

[SuperToby]

Bush isn't the only problem with our country right now. I don't think Bush did a horrible job. He didn't do the best either. Do I think we need someone new? Yes. Should it be Osama....sorry, Obama or hilaray....hell no. Maybe McCain but he's a little nuts. He is a good business man I guess. I'd like Ron Paul to have a chance at it but that's a no go.

I'll be waiting for a cogent rebuttal...

To start with

As the Civil War started, in the very beginning of Lincoln's presidential term, a group of "Peace Democrats" proposed a peaceful resolution to the developing Civil War by offering a truce with the South, and forming a constitutional convention to amend the U.S. Constitution to protect States' rights. The proposal was ignored by the Unionists of the North and not taken seriously by the South. However, the Peace Democrats, also called copperheads by their enemies, publicly criticized Lincoln's belief that violating the U.S. Constitution was required to save it as a whole. With Congress not in session until July, Lincoln assumed all powers not delegated in the Constitution, including the power to suspend habeas corpus. In 1861, Lincoln had already suspended civil law in territories where resistance to the North's military power would be dangerous. In 1862, when copperhead democrats began criticizing Lincoln's violation of the Constitution, Lincoln suspended habeas corpus throughout the nation and had many copperhead democrats arrested under military authority because he felt that the State Courts in the north west would not convict war protesters such as the copperheads. He proclaimed that all persons who discouraged enlistments or engaged in disloyal practices would come under Martial Law.

Among the 13,000 people arrested under martial law was a Maryland Secessionist, John Merryman. Immediately, Hon. Roger B. Taney, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States issued a writ of habeas corpus commanding the military to bring Merryman before him. The military refused to follow the writ. Justice Taney, in Ex parte MERRYMAN, then ruled the suspension of habeas corpus unconstitutional because the writ could not be suspended without an Act of Congress. President Lincoln and the military ignored Justice Taney's ruling.

Finally, in 1866, after the war, the Supreme Court officially restored habeas corpus in Ex-parte Milligan, ruling that military trials in areas where the civil courts were capable of functioning were illegal.

And

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:

A PROCLAMATION

Whereas, it has become necessary to call into service not only volunteers but also portions of the militia of the States by draft in order to suppress the insurrection existing in the United States, and disloyal persons are not adequately restrained by the ordinary processes of law from hindering this measure and from giving aid and comfort in various ways to the insurrection;

Now, therefore, be it ordered, first, that during the existing insurrection and as a necessary measure for suppressing the same, all Rebels and Insurgents, their aiders and abettors within the United States, and all persons discouraging volunteer enlistments, resisting militia drafts, or guilty of any disloyal practice, affording aid and comfort to Rebels against the authority of United States, shall be subject to martial law and liable to trial and punishment by Courts Martial or Military Commission:

Second. That the Writ of Habeas Corpus is suspended in respect to all persons arrested, or who are now, or hereafter during the rebellion shall be, imprisoned in any fort, camp, arsenal, military prison, or other place of confinement by any military authority of by the sentence of any Court Martial or Military Commission.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Done at the City of Washington this twenty fourth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, and of the Independence of the United States the 87th.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

By the President:

WILLIAM H. SEWARD, Secretary of State.

Not to mention history has such a favorable view of him due to him imprisoning reporters and other people who would speak otherwise.

You don't know what you are talking about....I suggest you read "A Team of Rivals" which chronicles Lincoln's presidecny begining with his nomination.

Peace with the South remaining in the union was never an option for Lincoln.
