Ironic, since Abe was a racist and his war murdered about 600,000 people to selfishly preserve his federal government.

If the South didn't commit acts of treason there would be no war.

Abe is an American hero. The USA wouldn't be what it is today if it wasn't for Abe, why do you hate the USA so much

Look at the color of the teacher then read "The Bell Curve" by Charles Murray.

America is dead but most people don't know it yet.

Most people take science fiction with a grain of salt, others just gulp down the whole thing.

I don't need to know the color of a person's skin when they post idiocy.
