More Lies and Spiel From Spielberg!

Rating: 1/10 (25 January 2013)

Yawn.......more than 2 1/2 hours of sheer boredom and drivel!
More fantasy from that "Great Director" Spielberg - This guy should stick to fairy tales, like Close Encounters and E.T. Every time he attempts to make a serious movie he completely distorts the truth and tries to turn reality that probably is rather unpalatable into some sort of Eutopian dream.
Did we really need to have to sit through over 2 1/2 hours of this contrite falsified drivel that is in fact a complete lie and a libel to Abraham Lincoln.
Just like his other movie, Schindlers List - Fairy tale nonsense!
A few quotes from A.L might put the lies and distortions into some sort of perspective.
While I was at the hotel to-day, an elderly gentleman called upon me to know whether I was really in favor of producing a perfect equality between the Negroes and white people. While I had not proposed to myself on this occasion to say much on that subject, yet as the question was asked me I thought I would occupy perhaps five minutes in saying something in regard to it. I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races; that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say, in addition to this, that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And in as much as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."
Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln And Douglas Fourth Joint Debate, At Charleston, September 18, 1858.
Negro equality!? Fudge! How long, in the government of a God, great enough
to make and maintain this Universe, shall there continue knaves to vend, and
fools to gulp, so low a piece of demagogue's as this?" Abraham Lincoln, v. 3, p. 399. Fragments: Notes for Speeches, Sept. 6, 1859
"The whole nation is interested that the best use shall be made of these (new) territories. We want them for the homes of free white people." -- Abraham Lincoln, October 16, 1854 "Judge Douglas has said to you that he has not been able to get an answer out of me to the question whether I am in favor of Negro citizenship. So far as I know, the Judge never asked me the question before. (applause from audience) He shall have no occasion to ever ask it again, for I tell him very frankly that I am not in favor of Negro citizenship. (renewed applause) If the state of Illinois has the power to grant Negroes citizenship, I shall be opposed to it. (cries of "here, here" and "good, good" from audience) That is all I have to say." -- Abraham Lincoln, Speech at Springfield, Illinois, June 1857 "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union." -- Abraham Lincoln -From, Letter to Horace Greeley August 22, 1862
"But what shall we do with the Negroes after they are free? I believe that it would be better to export them all to some fertile country with a good climate, which they could have to themselves." -- Abraham Lincoln -From, Letter to General Benjamin F. Butler March 1865 (Vol. VII) "In the course of his reply, the Senator remarked that he had always considered this a government made for the white people and not for the Negroes. Why, in point of mere fact, I think so too." -- Abraham Lincoln -From, Speech at Peoria, Illinois Oct. 1854 (Vol. II) "I think your race suffers very greatly, many of them by living among us, while ours suffers from your presence. In a word we suffer on each side. If this is admitted, it affords a reason why we should at least be separated." -- Abraham Lincoln -From, Address on Colonization to a Deputation of Africans in Washington D.C. August 1862 (Vol. V)
