NC lawmaker calls Abraham Lincoln a ‘tyrant’ like Hitler

[Meghan54]

Only in the South.......still can't let some things go.....

A day after setting off one firestorm, a Cabarrus County lawmaker set off another Wednesday by calling Abraham Lincoln “the same sort (of) tyrant” as Adolf Hitler.

Republican Rep. Larry Pittman of Cabarrus County made the comparison in a Facebook post in response to a comment criticizing a bill he’d introduced that would nullify the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on same-sex marriage in North Carolina.

In his post, Pittman said North Carolina should uphold traditional marriage “in spite of the opinion of a federal court.”

“And if Hitler had won, should the world just get over it?” he wrote. “Lincoln was the same sort if (sic) tyrant, and personally responsible for the deaths of over 800,000 Americans in a war that was unnecessary and unconstitutional.”

If Hitler had won, Gay Marriage would never be an issue.

So why is he in the "Party of Lincoln?"

So why is he in the "Party of Lincoln?"

Because the other party liked the gays and minorities even more? Also given the course of the GOP over the last 12 years wouldn't it be more accurate to refer to them as the "Part of the bat shit crazy, and give aways to the wealthy"?

Divorce is the only thing that threatens traditional marriage.

This is a portion of the anti-gay marriage bill that this shit for brains wrote:

Whereas, the ruling of the United States Supreme Court not only exceeds the authority of the Court relative to the State of North Carolina and a vote of the People of the State on an issue pertaining solely to the State of North Carolina and the People of North Carolina but also exceeds the authority of the Court relative to the decree of Almighty God that "a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh" (Genesis 2:24, ESV) and abrogates the clear meaning and understanding of marriage in all societies throughout prior history; Now, therefore, The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Citing the Bible as legal authority to ignore a ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court.

He may have a point about Lincoln though. He probably should have just let the south secede. We'd be a hell of a lot better off now if he had.

You there! Stop using logic, you can't deny people any potential rights that way.

but also exceeds the authority of the Court relative to the decree of Almighty God that "a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh" (Genesis 2:24, ESV)

That just makes me think of that scene in Akira in the stadium.

Lincoln was the Tyrant who ended the tyranny of race based slavery... And some white southerners resent that to this day.
