Lincoln Cultists Love the Omnipotent State . . .

[redcliffsw]

Reading most books about Lincoln by "Lincoln scholars" will generally make one stupid and misinformed, as Brooks very ably demonstrates.  This is because all such books are bundles of excuses, phony rationales, and fabrications.  They are all written like defense briefs in The War Crimes Trial of Abraham Lincoln, authored by third-rate lawyers or law students.  Being a "Lincoln scholar" means fabricating an excuse for everything.  The bigger and more elaborate the excuse, the more "prestigious" is the "Lincoln scholar."
