THE WEST'S DARKEST HOUR

The lie of human equality is the foundational lie of this nation of liars called the USA, so it’s perfectly fitting that the only man it commemorates with his own holiday [Martin Luther King], other than the probably fictional character called Jesus, is also a liar, and a consummate one at that.

All Americans secretly admire an adept liar, but of course, being who they are, will lie and tell you they don’t. I conclude that scandal won’t diminish his fame; it can’t, because just the fact that this rape ape is honored as a “great man” is a scandal, a particularly outrageous lie in which a people addicted to lying can revel and participate. If anything, it will help his cult grow.

Wally: “You also ignore the fact that the Civil War was not fought over slavery as even Lincoln stated.”

Wrong. He not only said that slavery was the cause of the war, but that this fact was known by everyone:

“One eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war.” – Abraham Lincoln, in his Second Inaugural address
