Oh Andrew Its you phony conservatives who have no clue.  Andrew do you think today's republican party believes in freedom for  blacks?  Why?  Today's republicans tend to be racist thugs.  Hay Andrew do you think today's republicans would even nominate Lincoln to be president?  Answer is obviously no.  (Just like Eisenhower)  

I suggest you read my link and see if you can make a case against it other than it is pinko commie.  I know it is tough to do this but I challange you to try.
