North Carolina GOP Lawmaker Calls Abraham Lincoln a 'Tyrant' Like Adolf Hitler

A North Carolina Republican lawmaker is under fire after comparing Abraham Lincoln to Adolf Hitler in a Facebook comment.

Larry Pitmann, a representative in the North Carolina General Assembly, said Lincoln was the "same sort of tyrant as" the Nazi dictator, who was responsible for the deaths of millions.

Pittman replied, "And if Hitler had won, should the world just get over it? Lincoln was the same sort if tyrant, and personally responsible for the deaths of over 800,000 Americans in a war that was unnecessary and unconstitutional."Pittman did not respond to request for comment from TIME to clarify his remarks.

I have a feeling that this repeal will pass as well, along with re-election of Republicans into power.
At least it will be entertaining.

NC constitution’s ban on secession could be dropped under House bill

A bill filed Tuesday by a trio of N.C. House Republicans seeks to drop a provision in the state constitution that prohibits secession.

Reps. Michael Speciale of New Bern, George Cleveland of Jacksonville and Larry Pittman of Concord are proposing a constitutional amendment that would give voters a chance to repeal Article I, Section 4 of the North Carolina constitution.

Here’s what that section says: “This State shall ever remain a member of the American Union; the people thereof are part of the American nation; there is no right on the part of this State to secede; and all attempts, from whatever source or upon whatever pretext, to dissolve this Union or to sever this Nation, shall be resisted with the whole power of the State.”

Voters would decide on the amendment in the November 2018 election.

They should instead add an amendment to the effect: 'As a US citizen you have a constitutional right to be stupid.' That pretty much covers everything.

Alabama just had a law pass through their senate (now under consideration by the assembly) to allow churches to field their own police forces. Republicans seem to be testing every aspect of the constitution.

That way the next time a Democrat is elected as president, states can start breaking off to escape the unholy diabolical communist tyranny of a democrat president.

At least Lincoln wasn't so despicable as to use gas against his own citizens.
