That's a big, big improvement. I'm very pleased. There is certainly nothing wrong with detesting slavery.
Now, wouldn't it be even more correct to say that you disapprove of some of the things Lincoln did rather than disapprove of Lincoln? ;-)
It isn’t an improvement at all. You know that is what I’ve said all along. Lincoln did enough wrong that I disapprove of Lincoln. If it hadn’t been for the War, he probably would be remembered as a minor president who tried to further Henry Clay style crony capitalism.
By the way, I find it interesting that Lincolnolaters are ready to place the race card against anyone who doesn’t worship at the Lincoln Memorial. After all, he was quite at peace with the Corwin Amendment and had vowed to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 with a vengeance. That would have cemented slavery into the culture for a long time to come. So, it would be far more reasonable to say that Lincolnolaters are actually the ones who secretly harbor fond thoughts of slavery. Of course, I don’t believe that and don’t believe that you harbor such views. Nonetheless, it is ironic.
