Lincoln quote about presidents and war; guess he was un-patriotic too

[originalpckelly]

"Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose - and you allow him to make war at pleasure."

This is about our nation:
"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

and;

"Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties."

All from the mouth of Abraham Lincoln. I guess he was being un-Patriotic wasn't he?
