I am very glad he saved the Union. But his crimes against the US Constitution are still horrors.

The idea that you can throw out the Constitution if you are trying to do something good is probably the scariest reason of all.

You like Lincoln the Conservative Republican? Me too.
In honor of his birthday, here are some great quotes from him:

"I believe that every individual is naturally entitled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruits of his labor, so far as it in no way interferes with any other men's rights." – Abraham Lincoln

"You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves." – Abraham Lincoln

"Property is the fruit of labor. Property is desirable, is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently to build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence." – Abraham Lincoln
 
Well if you're going to have quotes from Lincoln it's only fair that you have one from Charles Darwin as well.

"Fuck me. Look at the weird little beak on that fucking finch"

He discovered the Fucking Finch. He thought it was a blue crested Finch, until he got a better look.

It was the same day he officially discovered the "Bastard Lil Bird Bit Me! Finch".
 
I've got no problem with killing rebels and freeing slaves, but its still a shame that the union was preserved with the cancer still attached...

Here's another Lincoln quote for you:

“I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races—that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this, that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.” - Abraham Lincoln , 1858, Charleston, Ill

Some of us here see the US Constitution as a document that is the foundation of our nation.

Any violation of the US Constitution is flat out wrong. There are ways to change it, if that is what is needed.
