I thank you, and my Indian ancestors would be proud. However, your flattery aside, I still object to your cruel Lincoln-bashing, your bizarre belief that he never meant what he wrote or said, and that it always meant something besides what he said it did. Using that same sort of schizophrenic reasoning, you probably think Hitler was trying to promote Judaism, or that George Bush is merely a willing pawn of the British Crown in it's illicit drug empire. I wouldn't be surprised if you even thought the Constitution was a "Pact with the Devil", oh wait, you DO. No wonder you consider Mr. Lincoln to be "DIShonest Abe", a pathological liar incapable of either writing or speaking what he really meant. As Lincoln once said: "I fear explanations explanatory of things explained." LOL - That's what your revisionist fraud is, Walt, "explanations explanatory of things explained". If I have to choose between your explanation of what Lincoln meant versus his, I think I'll go with his.
My Cherokee/Creek ancestors would be proud as well. I'll take stand watie any day. The Lincoln lied through his teeth and invaded a sovereign country - he did not walk on water as some tend to believe. Dims cannot post any law that the Confederacy broke, only attempt to cast moral aspersions in an attempt to castigate men that held the same beliefs as the founders, and that simply desired to exercise the right to self-government.
