…one more time, good and hard, as Louisiana Republicans give Sick Rantorum the victory in their recent primary election. Rantorum is the Lincolnite Republican candidate who is a shill for the plutocrats of the military/industrial/congressional complex and gives them cover behind the rhetoric of a phony “great moral cause.” This was the political recipe first cooked up by Dishonest Abe, who placed the dead bodies of hundreds of thousands of Southerners in his “stew” so that his party could enforce protectionist tariffs for the next fifty years, dispense massive amounts of corporate welfare, monopolize the monetary system, and turn the government into the aggressive, imperialistic regime that it is today. Dishonest Abe died before he could carry out his lifelong dream of deporting all the black people out of the U.S. (See the book, Colonization after Emancipation by Phillip Magness and Sebastian Page). His political heirs, led by Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan, did succeed with their genocidal war against the Plains Indians, killing some 45,000 of them and placing the rest in concentration camps. All for the “great moral cause” of “making way for the railroads,” to quote General Sherman.
