I would refer you to Mark Neeley's works on the subject [of civil liberties], both North and South.

Yeah, and I'd refer everybody to Josef Goebbels on the subject of National Socialism. It's so poorly understood.

Mark Neely wrote a book stoutly defending Lincoln on the grounds that Lincoln had a war to fight, and then he sorta forgot about those same exigencies when he then wrote a book slagging Jeff Davis and the Confederacy.

Neely's a partisan poltroon. And you're a Judas goat, if not Judas himself, when you direct people to Neely.

Then why not give us all the benefit of your expertise in Nazism?

Neely is no Tommy DiLusional or one of the Kennedy boys to be sure. He actually knows what he's talking about.

Even if that were remotely true, isn't that the excuse you all give for each and every trashing of the constitution committed by Davis and his legislature? That there was a war on and the confederacy was fighting for it's life? That if only it had one then it would have dropped it's socialistic policies and it's statist ways and it's police-state mentality and return to a small government, state's rights nirvana that you all knew it would be? Some such crap as that? Well why not cut Lincoln the same slack?

Neely's a partisan poltroon. Says the resident rebel expert on poltroonism, partisan or otherwise.
