Hi FRiends,
I have two brothers who I love very much, theyre young and libertarian Ron Paul supporters, sigh. We get along and Im hoping that one day theyll come back to conservatism, but they have bought into a theory that I dont think makes much sense:
Abe Lincoln was a dictator.
There are many websites dedicated to this nonsense you can Google "Abe Lincoln dictator" and get some weird stuff, if you want to check it out.
I need your help in busting this myth are there any books I can read on this subject to dispel this stuff? Do you know any of the arguments to combat this nonsense? Ie. Lincoln did not want to free the slaves.
Thanks for taking time out of your day to help me out, -Erod
Welcome back retread...
FOAD retread.
Ya get the sand outta yer hoo hoo yet Ida?
That’s what you get for hanging with the backwash at the K-Y ranch.
tonka_truck,
I believe you need to do a bit more research before you castigate the service of any indiviual, whether man or boy.
“that all three black confederates buried in St. Augustine were musicians who played the drums or blew a bugle.”
You obviously have no clue as to the purpose, nor the importance, of the drums and bugles within the regiments. Their job was even more important than those who carried the colors.
“They weren’t soldiers in any meaningful way unless you choose to twist the objective truth to fit the circumstance “
They were indeed soldiers with a very important job. Why would you denigrate their service by stating they weren’t meaningful soldiers? Just what objective truth is being twisted here?
Do you posses the ability to read another’s mind or heart, past or present? Do you know of the soldiers pride and sacrifice? Do you know how they felt wearing their uniform and doing their duty? Why is being a bugler or a drummer not enough for you? Is it because they didn’t carry a gun that you denigrate their service and sacrifice? Those were very important positions in BOTH militaries!
Piss off moron. If you think I’m a retread, feel free to ask Jim Robinson.
Saturday night and where are you? Fighting on FR. I pity you. You have no life. NONE.
Why would you pick such a junker rig? Petes and Kenworths are far better. Was it the long nights spent on your back in a mac's sleeper? It must be sentimental.
Lot_Lizzard fits you better,BTW.
Heck, mac's real life rig is a Yugo with CB Antennas
Poor soul got banned from Truck stops
Their were no black regular soldiers in the P.A.C.S. during the Civil War. Not one black man fired a shot in anger for the Confederate side during the entire war.
Again answer: I Agree or I Dis-agree.
Is your wife talking in her sleep again?
If so then I've learned from the best - cowboyway, Idabilly, and the rest of the Lost Cause Brigade.
Lost Cause fanatic, Idabooby. Then what are you still doing here?
Let Dixie be!
Be what?
And here you are as well. Surprise, surprise.
He’s not bright enough to appreciate the irony of his own words...
YOU- 31 posts off and on all day long
Me-6 12:24, 12:24, 12:25,12:34,12:35, 12:38, 7:24
I wonder what she's got against FR?
It was pretty self-evident that she had a thing for noni, but this Internet stalking thing is just creepy...
Let's look at today, shall we? As of this post:
You - 37 posts off and on all day.
Me - 8 8:35, 8:37, 8:38, 8:40, 8:41, 3:26, 4:04 and 4:08
And this post will make 9.
So have you nothing better to do on a Sunday except fight on FR and call people names? Spend all day hiding in your cellar and obsessing about me? Have you no life? None?
Beyond creepy. Time for a cookie check.
As in the past you try to blame others for your faults.
