Update: Strata-sphere now says the Lincoln quote is an internet hoax. My comment that Lincoln exiled a copperhead legislator to Canada for providing aid and comfort to the South is true. The guy's name was Vallandingham or something like. I remember that from College history from over 50 years ago, so I may not have the name spelled correctly. My liberal (aren't they all) history prof thought Lincoln had essentially suspended the Constitution during the Civil War. He did think the north winning was a good thing.

Here is a quote from A. Lincoln that I picked up from the Strata-sphere blog.

Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged.
— President Abraham Lincoln

Lincoln had one legislator arrested and exiled him to Canada. The Democrats in Congress during the Civil War wanted to stop the war. They wanted to stop the killing; they didn't care about slavery all that much. They were called "copperheads." Sadly today's Democrats act like the copperheads of old. It's too bad that Bush hasn't sent Kennedy, Kerry, Durbin, Obama, and others to Canada. (I'll bet Canada would be glad to have them.) But, Bush isn't like that. The Dixie Chicks claim victim status, but as far as I can tell Bush has ignored them. And Cindy Sheehan too.
