After five years Sarah Palin still doesn't know shit about history

From Sarah's Fecebook page:

God Bless the legacy of our 16th President. He served with honesty and integrity, held our nation together in the worst of times, understood and assured the blessings of liberty for all Americans, and didn’t succumb to the special interests that would destroy our Union for personal gain. With foresight towards developing our natural resources, the man Lincoln appointed as his Secretary of State wisely purchased the territory of Alaska. This President truly understood the heart of the United States. He gave his last full measure of devotion to keep our nation as one and secure the foundation of those truths we still hold self-evident.

To quote his immortal words, it is for us the living to be dedicated to the task remaining before us. The United States deserves leaders that ascribe to the simple principles that guided this great man. From a log cabin in Kentucky to the White House, he espoused the American ideal of truth and honesty. He didn’t shy from controversy, and the fire of freedom burned bright within him and guided him throughout his life.

May all our elected officials take a long look at what made Lincoln a great leader. Our elected officials have from our history the perfect example of selfless leadership.

On this, Abraham Lincoln’s 205th birthday, please take a moment to reflect on what it means to be a God-fearing leader, a great president, and a true American. Ask yourself if our politicians and influential celebrities who shape society live up to Lincoln’s shining example, and if not, hold them accountable instead of rewarding them with continued privilege. It’s our nation, and Lincoln gave his life to assure that it remained the “last best hope on earth.”

Happy Birthday, Honest Abe!

I need to clear up some things here.  

For starters yes Lincoln appointed William Seward Secretary of State.  However the purchase of Alaska happened TWO YEARS after Lincoln's assassination.  Andrew Johnson was the president in 1867.  The same Andrew Johnson who was impeached, and was acquitted by just one vote, the same Andrew Johnson who got drunk at Lincoln's inauguration. 

Abraham Lincoln is the sort of person Sarah Palin despises.  She is all for state's rights but Lincoln wanted to ban slavery in all the US.  If Sarah was alive in 1861 she would be jumping up and down screaming, NO, HE CAN'T DO THAT!  IT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL!  

He also issued the Emancipation Proclamation which was an executive order freeing all slaves.  Sarah sure hates it when President Obama issues one.  

Nice try Skank.  You need to watch Lincoln again.  Lincoln did do some things that would have gotten him impeached if the public found out.  But I agree with him on it because it saved the Union.
