Interestingly, the only reference I ever see with respect to "sainthood" for Lincoln - justified or not - comes from the southron knotheads. Those of us who love our union do respect him and the difficult decisions he was forced to make, but to not worship him. Worship is for the Almighty.

I think the person who started this thread has asked a legitimate question.

the question is reprehensible and offensive to conservatives and should have no place at FreeRepublic.

So, one of your defining characteristics for a “Conservative” is a person who finds the question “reprehensible and offensive.” Others need not consider themselves so? Others “should have no place” at FR?

I have no need for you or anyone else to define me. I’ll define myself, thank you. As for my place at FR, the establishment here can certainly kick me off anytime they please, but, you, sir, probably cannot.
