		<description>The Taliban are  group of thugs who spout religion as the basis of their actions.  They claim they are on the side of God, and just doing the will of God.

Do they really believe their own nonsense? OR is it just about the power, prestige, and pussy they get from it?

Who knows? It doesn't matter if they really believe it, or just use it.  They are scum sucking violent pigs who should be stopped. 

WHich is almost exactly like the Confederacy. The Confederates were a group of violent thugs who regularly beat women who resisted -  burned to death men who rebelled against slavery.  

 And naturally, they said they were "based on the the will of Almighty God".  Every Confederate leader that left any writing behind about slavery said it was the will of God. 

WHo spoke more about the will of God, the Taliban or the slave rapers and child sellers? It's  a toss up. 

But even the Taliban apparently does not use God to justify slave rape and then sell their own children from rape into slavery.  This distinction belongs solely to the Confederacy, who did it all while praising Jesus.

In fact the Confederate leaders bragged that they were just the FIRST nation to literally be based on slavery. Other nations had allowed slavery in some form or nother. But the Confederate leaders said to screaming adoring crowds that they were doing slavery right - only enslaving niggers, and "total subjugation" of the black race according to "revealed will of Almighty God"

Just like violence is the way of life for the Taliban - so so violence was the way of life for the slave raping south.  You can't have slavery without violence. 

 Violence to get the slaves, violence to work the slaves, violence to sell the slave children, violence to rape the slaves. 

Violence to catch the fleeing slave, violence and fire to burn to death those slaves who fought back.

Violence to stop free speech, even violence against whites to make sure they had no free speech. Violence in the territories, violence in Congress, violence against children, against women, against any human right they thought denied them slave pussy or slave profit.

Violence to stop free elections -- the South would not allow free elections, even in 1860. No one was allowed on the ballot in the Deep South who was anti slavery.   And anyone who was caught with any printed material against slavery was whipped and jailed.  

Whey you fucking lunatics talk your shit about "strong government" why the fuck are  you not talking about the nazi like total government control of the Slave states.  Forget their total control over blacks you dumb fucks - forget the total control even over who the blacks could fuck, what they did every day of their lives, where their children went, where they all lived, believed and met -- forget all that government control you fuck heads.

Look at the control they had - by violence  -- of whites.  Total control of what was printed, what was spoken, who got on the "ballot".  You fucking lunatics had elections like Saddam had them.  No one got on the fucking ballot in Iraq, unless Saddam wanted them.  Same thing in the fucking south -- no one got on the ballot unless the slave rapers wanted them on their. 

It's no wonder the Confederates attacked the North -- they knew no other way but violence.

 Lincoln told them to secede legally if they must - but the Confederates were used to violence.   They had always been rewarded for violence was how they lived. 

Then Lincoln kicked their ass. He had a lot of help - -because many in the South hated the Confederate slave rapers.  25% of the Union soldiers came from slave states.   

Plus many in the South fought the slave rapers and child sellers out of uniform.  

Many average citizens in the South wouldn't help the Confederates.   Eventually the South lost because their public support was far lower than you luntics today like to pretend.  Of 480,000 CSA soldiers who should have been on the field -- only 120,000 were.  The rest had deserted.  The largest desertion rate of any modern army belongs to the Confederates. 

But what do the lunatic Confederate apologist do now?   They cry about Lincoln kicking their ass. They say Lincoln was too harsh.

Funny they didn't mind the harsh slave rapes, the harsh selling of children, the harsh burning to death those brave men who rebelled against slavery.

Funny how they never see that as harsh.  It was that bad old Lincoln who was harsh, and that bad old Lincoln who was for strong government.

Sorry dumb fucks - Lincoln stood up to the tyrants and kicked their ass - and you pussies have cried about it for 150 years. You were fuck heads then, and you are fuck heads now.</description>

		<description>[...] Jim Bovard likens Lincoln and his generals to war criminals and cites one of my heroes who not only advocated the abolition of slavery but also the right of succession: Lysander Spooner, a Massachusetts abolitionist, ridiculed President Lincoln’s claim that the Civil War was fought to preserve a “government by consent.” Spooner observed, “The only idea . . . ever manifested as to what is a government of consent, is this—that it is one to which everybody must consent, or be shot.” [...]</description>

		<description>Ahhhhh Spooner, bless the old curmudgeon. Concurrent with the deification of the Armed Federal 
Mercenary, any notion of "States Rights" was burned to a crisp as well. Mention "States Rights" today and one is assumed to be a closet Slave-holder in favor of enforced illiteracy. There is a straight line from the Mexican War , through the Civil War and right to the doorstep of Neo-Con Torture-lust. Artillery unites them all and Democracy is the very last thing cared about.</description>

		<description>If Lincoln's career had gone no further than working as prominent railroad lawyer it would have made a wonderful rags to riches story. When unusual ambition has mixed with American politics, however, the results have often been less than desirable if maintaining strictly limited government is the standard used for evaluation. Sadly, only the victors write history and deification of their wartime leaders has often been one of the customary benefits. The practice can be traced back to the beginning of written history in Babylonia and Egypt.</description>
