Abraham Lincoln was a communist!
The ruthless tyrant who crushed our states rights and our property rights and threw the south back into the dark ages is a communist! Look at this quote:
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. ... corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed." -Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864 (letter to Col. William F. Elkins) Ref: "The Lincoln Encyclopedia", Archer H. Shaw (Macmillan, 1950, NY)
This is just the sort of doomsday preaching done by liberals, with their hatred of successful corporations and financially successful politicians.
