Revisionist History

Greetings loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader started this post last week, and put it aside for no reason. Now he has decided to finish it.

Your Maximum Leader is very disturbed by this Thomas Hibbs peice on NRO. What the hell? First people (cretins) in Richmond get upset by a proposed statue of Lincoln in their fair city. Now the US Park Service is rehabilitating John Wilkes Booth in Ford's Theatre? What next? An Enola Gay exhibit that says that the Japanese were helpless victims of the atomic bomb? Oh yeah...

Your Maximum Leader realizes that the cost of his freedom of speech is sometimes having to listen to cretins. But really? How about a little real history here. That the US Park Service is saying "Lincoln had it coming." in Ford's Theatre is unexcusable. Your Maximum Leader remembers going to Ford's Theatre as a young villain and seeing the museum. He remembers going to the house across the street where Lincoln died and seeing the bed and (preserved under glass) the blood-stained pillow on which the President's head rested as he died. It was very moving. And to think it is being perverted by a bad interpretation makes me angry. He needs to figure out what he can do to stop this. (Short of an early beginning to the MWO which would easily solve this and so many other problems.)

Carry on.
