How Lincoln lied about why we went to war...
Published on May 15, 2004 By Draginol In Politics

Another excellent satire over at Right Wing News. Here's an excerpt:

Mr. Ben-Gorelick: Mr. Lincoln, you took us to war two years ago and said it was to save the union.

Lincoln: It still is.

Mr. Ben-Gorelick: And yet - and I’ll put this text in the record - there’s not a single reference in this speech to saving the union.

Lincoln: It’s implied.

Mr. Ben-Gorelick: Not a single reference. Isn’t it a fact that you said in the speech, “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal”?

Lincoln: Yes, in the first sentence.

Mr. Ben-Gorelick: And isn’t it a fact that you say, and again I quote, “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom…”?

Lincoln: Yes.

Mr. Ben-Gorelick: Isn’t it a fact that you were referring to slavery?

Lincoln: Well, yes. But I also said, second paragraph, that they died, quote, “that nation might live.”

Mr. Ben-Gorelick: Yes, but what nation, sir? Clearly, your real goal is to abolish slavery. You took us to war under false pretense, didn’t you, sir?

Pretty good correlation there, but with me you are simply preaching to the choir I suppose...
