Why on earth are Americans uplifting and celebrating Abraham Lincoln every third Monday in February each year? Why are unsuspecting children glorifying him in public (and Christian schools) each year and why do Republicans host and sell hordes of tickets every year to uplift and acknowledge “Lincoln/Reagan/Trump”? Initially “President’s Day” was created to honor George Washington-so how did George get stuck with Abe? How did the greatest President to have ever lived get stuck with the worst to have ever lived? (Or if not the worst at least in the top 5).

The answer most likely in most cases is a lack of knowledge.

We all know what the Bible tells us about lacking wisdom and knowledge and it’s not good.

Here are some facts that everyone everywhere needs to learn about the conniving Abraham Lincoln.

1. Abe had women and children burned out of their homes in the South.
2. Abe had newspapers censored because he didn’t like what they had to say.
3. Abe defended slave owners in court.
4. Abe did not sign the famous “Emancipation Proclamation until 1863 and only “freed” certain slaves in certain areas to keep the Union together.
5. The purpose of keeping the ‘Union’ together was to ensure that Federal Banks would not fail. It was all about money. Lincoln printed money illegally and large amounts of it.
6. Abe spoke out both sides of his mouth and stated different information to different groups ensuring what his audience wanted to hear.
7. Abe called Mexicans and those of Spanish descent “mongrels” (dogs).
8. Abe’s wife performed seances in the White House to speak to their dead son.
9. Abe set up the lineage for future ‘Unconstitutional’ presidents. He was the first president to refuse the “South” to secede from the Union when it is clearly stated in the Constitution that should the Government gain too much power the states could leave (secede).
10. Abe upset, overturned and blew to shreds everything the Founding Fathers fought so hard to achieve, i.e.: limited power and big Government, a decentralized Government where “We the People” were once at the head etc. Lincoln worked against all that, for him it was all about federalized, central banking.
11. Abe even stated he “cared not what happened to the slaves”-
12. Abe Lincoln most certainly could have kept “The War Between the States” from happening but he did not. According to content in the book entitled “The Real Lincoln”-“He should have been hung for war crimes”-

There is so much more that could be penned here about Lincoln but you get the gist of it.

To learn more be sure to pick up a copy of the book entitled “The Real Lincoln” by Thomas DiLorenzo where numerous scholars are noted in the book.

This book shares primary and secondary sources which includes quotes by Lincoln and that is extremely important in the study of history and for the sake of accuracy.

So, the next time you kick back and celebrate President’s Day remember only one president should be celebrated and it’s NOT Lincoln.
