Though it is interesting, Bill, that someone on that Huffington Post link does mention Lincoln in a bad light:

“Libertynowplease” wrote:

“Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus, censored newspapers, and even tried to have dissenters in congress and the supreme court arrested. Obama is not going to repeal the Patriot Act. Your civil liberties no longer exist.”

But then “doug108” asks:

“What does Lincoln have to do with it?”

History is written by the winners.
