I must have missed this in US History

I guess there are some people who want to think that Abraham Lincoln was gay.

What proof do they have of that? Hell if I know. They talk about his "profound depressions", yada yada yada. A whole bunch of psyco-babble that doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Seriously, what proof do they have that Lincoln was gay? Their discussions about depression and his "strange relations"? Sorry folks, but if all you have to go on is historical records that you try to analyze with your psycotherapy bullshit, you don't have squat.

Here's what I know - Abe Lincoln was married and fathered children with his wife. If you want to figure out why he was so depressed, why don't you try this on for size:

Up until he became president, Lincoln's political career was a history of failure. He lost more elections than he won, by a large margin. In fact, his political career was rather short until he became president.

Once president, he presided over the bloodiest war in American history. THE BLOODIEST. And it was in part due to his refusal to allow slavery in this country. Imagine being responsible for the deaths of thousands upon thousands of your fellow citizens, over an ideal that wasn't all that popular in much of the country.

These liberal fuckwits can't even figure out why over half of this country voted for George Bush, and yet they want us to simply accept their assertions that Lincoln was gay? No, I don't think so. I need much better proof than "Oh, I just know these things." If there's anything that's been proven in the past few years, it's that there's nothing more unreliable than a leftist with an agenda. And yes, I include Andrew Sullivan in that catagory. I don't care what the asshole said a few years ago, he's nothing but another leftist idiot full of sound and fury. His crusade to prove that Lincoln was gay, along with his crusade against President Bush, as well as a number of his other crusades, have pretty much ripped that veil wide open. He might be conservative back in his home country, but he's nothing but another hack in this one. Sorry Sully, you're a fucking moron. I calls it as I sees it.
