"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Gaffney Again Uses Lincoln to Hit War Critics
Greg Mitchell: "The Washington Times columnist who featured a bogus Abraham Lincoln quote last week returns today -- and advocates harsh punishment for critics of the Iraq war who are giving 'aid and comfort to the enemy.'" In Gaffney's mind, those of us who want to bring the troops home safely to their families are traitors, while those like him who want to leave them in harm's way for a lost cause are patriots. What a guy!
