I could listen or read Dr. Guelzo all day. When he speaks about Lincoln, I feel like I'm sitting beside a sacred fire. The man is the North Star of our political faith. May his spirit guide us through the great crisis we are in. Thank you for your work, sir.
"...consent, the ability to say 'yes', is one of the absolute vital aspects of a deocracy."??? Consent of the governed was explained by the Founding Fathers as the right to say "NO!". Don't we all have the ability to agree with a tyrant, say 'yes'? Don't we all have the "ability", the freedom to let an immoral law deny our right? What is "the law"? Does it ask for consent? No. The law is rule by deadly threat. Laws are claimed to be our choice as determined by our representatives. If so, then why do they need to be enforced with death threats. Remember, even law, no matter how big or small, may be enforced by the threat of death, even "J-walking". Yes, people have been shot to death for that, and/or for failure to stop for questioning on the street. Why? That is an inappropriate question because it assumes that laws must be reasonable, justified. That is not the case. When a law contradicts itself, or reality, or justice, it is still enforced by deadly threat with the stern shout, "The Law is the Law". As time goes by, the LEO is likely to jump straight to physical violence when asked "Why, sir, what did I do wrong?" The citizen/victim is being shown that the only allowable response to a command is immediate obedience regardless of its cruelty, absurdity. A federal judge has ruled that an illegal command should be obeyed and our only recourse is to ask the court for redress of grievances. Is this just, wise, respectful or our humanity? NO! It is a master/slave relationship. Why do citizens put up with it? Lack of self-respect, fear of authority, and the psychology of self-sacrifice.
Giving untrue statements as facts. Taking bits of truth and adding lies to a story and presenting it as true. Lying to the American people on a national scale needs to be a crime. You can have different opinions, there aren't different facts. When a liar and a thief, being the same person, is in command of of many, we all lose.

Ok, so how about Lincoln's support for the Corwin amendment?
