On this program, recorded on November 19, the date in 1863 when Abraham Lincoln delivered the "Gettysburg Address," co-host John Lofton and "Institute On The Constitution" Senior Instructor Pastor David Whitney examine and analyze Lincoln's record of despotism and tyranny. You'll hear H.L. Mencken's comment that the "Gettyburg Address" was, in effect, a lie because it was Union soldiers who fought against self-determination. Also discussed: Lincoln's racism; his anti-Christianity; and a couple of books you can order that tell the truth about "Dishonest Abe."

If any are scandalized or startled at seeing Lincoln called usurper or despot, they are invited to observe that he was denounced as both by many great Republican leaders of his own day. The words in which Fremont, Wendell Phillips, Fred Douglass, and Horace Greeley, all stanchest of Republicans and Abolitionists, issued their call for the convention of Republicans that met at Cleveland, Ohio, May 31, 1864, for the sole purpose of defeating Mr. Lincoln's second election, were as follows: "The public liberty was in danger"; that its object was to arouse the people "and bring them to realize that while we are saturating Southern soil with the best blood of the country in the name of liberty, we have really parted with it at home."(1)

But the Spielberg Lincoln movie gets its history completely upside down. The main story line is how Lincoln supposedly utilized every bit of his political sleaziness to help get the Thirteenth Amendment through Congress. This is a fiction. It never happened, according to the preeminent Lincoln scholar of our time, Harvard University's David Donald (See page 554 of his Pulitzer prize-winning biography of Lincoln). In fact, the opposite was true: The genuine abolitionists in Congress had to use their political powers to get Lincoln to voice his support for the Thirteenth Amendment. Spielberg's movie, based on the book Team of Rivals by the confessed plagiarist Doris Kearns-Goodwin, is an extraordinarily misleading work of fiction. (See my LRC review of Goodwin's book entitled "A Plagiarist's Contribution to Lincoln Idolatry").

"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 for ever 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."

Lost to almost everyone in the misteaching of history is the consequences of the North's subjugation of the South. Yes, yes we all know the evils of slavery and we're all glad for its end. And oh my, Lincoln preserved the union, for what that's worth. Today we're witnessing a full scale publicity tour to buff up old Abe's image. History Channel documentaries, big budget Hollywood feature films, Ti...me Magazine full page treatment and a sitting president who fancies himself a modern day Lincoln. HA! How appropriate that is...

The federal government is out of control. It is or is rapidily approaching economic, spiritual and cultural bankruptcy. In 1995 the author wrote an article about the county being bankrupt and was literally ridiculed. Today one has to get in line to make such a statement.

If you are planning to see the new, Steven Spielberg directed, Lincoln movie you might want to invest in an accurate history book instead. While it is successfully dramatic, the movie rehashes several 150 year old myths about the Lincoln presidency and America's most horrible war.

But this day of Thanksgiving is a day set aside, not the historical anniversary of the First Thanksgiving as many espouse. We have been taught that the First Thanksgiving was in Plymouth in 1621 and observed by the Pilgrims. This was a very commendable act by the Pilgrims, but it was not the first in our country.

Do you remember the late Southern-American columnist, comedian and speaker Lewis Grizzard {October 20, 1946 –March 20, 1994} who made us laugh, think and proud of whom we are? There are few that write with the heart and soul of Mr. Grizzard who wrote and spoke compassionately about subjects that included the American-South.

As colonel of the First Georgia Regulars, of the Army in Virginia, he contracted disease, from which he died in 1862, and was buried in Columbus, Ga.

March 4th, 2011 marks the 150th Anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s inauguration as President of the United States. Lincoln idolators and court ‘historians’ are certain to gush forth with fluff and flowery prose about how Lincoln "saved the Union" and "freed the slaves" when history shows that he did neither -- in fact, he did just the opposite, as we'll show below.

The Georgia Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans has created several one minute videos. This video is on the Regional Differences that were a major factor resulting in War.

In 1989, a magazine article caught my eye which I had to read from beginning to end. This was not an ordinary story but about a black child, a Confederate President's First Lady and the Southern Presidential Family. The story was written by Gulfport , Mississippi freelance writer Mrs. Peggy Robbin's and is entitled, "Jim Limber Davis."
