I like the comparisons. Some comments should be supported with some research, rather than just comments. Let’s not be ignorants.

@Terry: No worries. Understood. Are there any other books or articles you recommend on the topic? That would be really helpful.

Yes, you are correct. I’m very passionate about the subject and let my emotions run sometime.

@Terry: Your tone doesn’t help your message. It takes some study to learn that Lincoln wasn’t a friend to the Latter-day Saints nor in many ways to liberty. You’ll help people discover this faster if your delivery is softer.

I can’t believe the lame brain comments that deify Abraham Lincoln on this blog. Do you not know Brigham Young spoke out AGAINST Lincoln, when Lincoln trained cannons on his house in 1861.

Lincoln’s troops were occupying Salt Lake City at the time, because Lincoln believed the Utah Territory was a threat to his precious Union.

For starters try, “The Real Lincoln,” by Thomas DiLorenzo

When Joseph Smith is recognized as the greatest man ever born in the United States Of America, Lincoln will be recognized as the biggest traitor to the cause of liberty.
