Get the chuck norrismug. When it's not ran by the government, it's called a Ponzi scheme. When it is ran by the government, it's called Social Security.

Get the Social Securitymug. There are way too many idiots in this world that believes whatever textbooks say.
"One of the greatest presidents ever."
Abraham Lincoln is one of our worst presidents.
"Fought for the concept that secession was unconstitutional (as it violated the concept of democracy--if the guy you voted for lost, you have to deal with it) and aided in the disestablishment of the institution of slavery."
The Confederacy fought against Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus, first amendment rights, tenth amendment rights, unfair taxes and his alienating of the Southern states. There is nothing unconstitutional about secession. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say states can not secede. The Founding Fathers cherished liberty, not democracy. Also, Lincoln's beliefs on slavery were inconsistent, but his white supremacy was consistent.
"Though the Hartford Convention did consider secession, it was not the main focus of the agenda, and was political suicide for the Federalists."
Real patriots who fight against their oppressive governments don't give a shit about "political suicide". That's exactly what the Southern states did.
"Moreover, limiting free speech during times of war is not something unique, as it has happened many times since Lincoln's day."
How is this excusable?
"It should also be noted, secession is mentioned nowhere in the Constitution as a right, it is mentioned in the Declaration of Independance, but that was not a legal document. Therefore he didn't deny anyone anything unusual."
The Constitution is called THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND for a reason. You need to read the tenth amendment, which states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Since secession is mentioned nowhere in the Constitution, this little amendment that has been constantly ignored kicked in.

Abraham Lincoln's assassination was justified for acts of treason, lying after promising to uphold the Constitution, war crimes and being responsible for the slaughter of many innocent Americans for his own selfish political gains. The Confederacy were true patriots who fought for the document the Founding Fathers risked their lives for and followed their wisdom. Thomas Jefferson once said if we truly want freedom, there must be armed rebellion every twenty or so years to keep the government in check.

Get the abraham lincolnmug. I dislike George Bush as much as the next guy, but most of his criticisms are either rhetorical or flat out wrong. I'm going to cut out the stuff we've heard over and over.
1. Turned the largest US surplus into the largest deficit in American history, then gives tax cuts when he should be raising taxes to get more money for the country. (And of course, he only gives tax cuts to all of his rich buddies.)
Raising taxes isn't going to fix the economy at the rate we're spending you dumb shit. Anyone who thinks the tax cuts is what caused the recession knows nothing about even basic economics. What cause the recession is the massive spending when the government doesn't the money. It's so bad they raid the Social Security (more reasons why it sucks), borrow from China, or just print money. You know who can cut the spending? Congress. Guess who controls Congress: Democrats. When you cut taxes, people have more money in their pockets to invest into the economy. The government doesn't regulate the economy because this is not communism. If we ever cut spending, we may as well cut taxes.
6. Passes "Clean Air Act" which actually makes the air dirtier.
That and the act is a stupid idea anyway.
8. Quits the Kyoto Protocol because it would make his rich buddies actually spend some money to reduce global warming, and God forbid anyone has to spend money.
The Kyoto Protocol does three stupid things: Work with the United Nations, spend more fucking money despite the recession, and follow environmentalism when there's nothing wrong with the damn planet.
9. Throws ultimatums at the American people that only a complete idiot could fall for (and a lot have) like "You're with us or you're with the terrorists" and basically just gets America to be loyal to him out of fear.
Then explain why his approval rating is one of the lowest since Truman.
11. Has said enough stupid things to fill 265 pages of "Bushisms" books.
When Clinton fucked up, did we ever call it a "Clintonism"? No, we just called him a dumbass (if they weren't, I sure as hell was).
12. Gets elected into office after losing by over 10,000 votes. Do you think it's a coincidence that his brother was the governor of the state that the whole election depended on in 2000??
Which is precisely there shouldn't be democracies: only benevolent totalitarianism.

Get the George Bushmug. On behalf of all Americans I wish to apologize for the 1953 coup d'état of Mohammad Mossadeq and replacing his fairly elected administration with the hated Shah that ruled with an iron fist because Mossadeq simply nationalized his nation's oil.

Get the iranmug. It doesn't matter if you're not a Batman fan, or a comic book fan for that matter. This is one of those movies that everyone must view at least once in their lifetime. The Dark Knight is the Citizen Kane and Godfather of this generation.

Get the The Dark Knightmug. Dennis Kucinich claims that we shouldn't "play God and kill others" as his reason for his opposition to capital punishment, yet he is for abortion. So let me get this straight, it's perfectly fine to kill the innocent, but don't you dare try to punish the guilty. Now, I'm not for the death penalty (it's expensive, the innocent are sometimes killed and I'd rather die than go to prison), but Kucinich's reason is borderline absurd. He also supports gun control (which is an idiotic concept to begin with and is a direct violation of the second amendment). How exactly is he good again?
