You'll be pleased to know that JFK is on "team good" because apparently in this world he was a rightwing deficit hawk, but GWB is on "team evil" because of the bailouts and increase in the deficit. Also, Obama keeps walking on the constitution. They really should keep that thing in a glass case, or somewhere safer.


The presidents on the left won a parlor bet against the presidents on the right, with the man in the center writing the entire Constitution from memory using Magic Markers and a Schnucks grocery bag.

Abraham Lincoln

16th President, 1861-1865
National Debt: $2,680,647,869.74 billion

Lincoln is a popular president for having preserved the Union during the Civil War and abolished slavery and continued democratic elections even during the war. But during the Civil War, Lincoln appropriated powers no previous President had wielded: he suspended the writ of habeas corpus, spent money before Congress appropriated it, and imprisoned between 15,000 and 18,000 suspected Confederate sympathizers without trial. Lincoln also signed the Revenue Act of 1861 creating the first U.S. income tax and he also created a system of national banks through the National Banking Acts of 1863, 1864 and 1865. Lincoln also allowed for elections during the war and was vehemently opposed to foreign banking investors. I believe he would be appalled by our current debt and entitlement fiasco.


So he claps for the Constitution? It must be because the Constitution is very national debt/anti-welfare heavy and doesn't speak much about individual rights.

Not only that, but the Constitution at the time defined black men as property and worth 3/5 of a white person. Lincoln had the audacity to trample on the original text of the Constitution by fighting the Civil War and pushing forward the 13th through 15th Amendments - CHANGING our cherished document! A strict constructionist of the time would have been apoplectic about Lincoln's violation of that sacred text.

The One Nation Under God picture is quite cringe-worthy.

In addition, Abraham Lincoln was influenced by the minor Transcendentalist writer Theodore Parker, and believed that the Constitution was a flawed, imperfect attempt to realize the ideals voiced in the Declaration of Independence. Accordingly, when Lincoln mentions in the Gettysburg Address that "Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on the continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal," notice that he skips over the Constitution, and instead refers to the Declaration.
