I do believe it is. And as Hofstadter said, anti-catholicism has always been the pornography of the puritan. In this case the puritan is trying to purify the church/cult of Lincoln, but still it holds.
Whatever you say, Jesse.
Actually, that would be in large part a tactic adopted from the northern wing of the Klan...which is to be expected, because yankee puritans have always hated catholics.
As for real southerners their relations with Rome have always exceeded their northern counterparts. During the war for example Bishop Lynch of Charleston became a strong advocate of the southern cause, and CSA-Vatican relations, as you have been shown, were exemplary. Pope Pius IX also looked admirably upon Jefferson Davis and the two corresponded for years after the end of the war. I don't recall Abe Lincoln ever getting any letters from the pope though, which would be expected since "Mr. Lincoln was not a Christian in any normal sense"
Where do the real conservatives hide out? On the Southern side of the Smokey Backroom!
Seriously, we all ought to engage strictly in debate, and leave the insults to the dark side posters - they are quite good at it, obviously not being up to the task of reasoned debate. For months now certain posters on their side throw rant after rant, or racist comment, or charge of treason etc.
When I joined, this place (with the exception of Walt) was pretty much civil. It was about the only place on FR where anyone discussed the Constitution in depth, the Federalist & Anti-Federalist Papers (WIMom and a few others participated on a daily thread that died for lack of response), Cato's Letters, etc. I love coming in, reading posts by either side, and learning something new.
I responded to Admin Moderator a few days ago, who had written something about 'not desiring to visit the ACW threads', it's a shame that that's how we're (inclusive of both sides) perceived. If I drank, I'd invite them in to pass one around. We're not trolls, racist, traitors or anything of that ilk. We're simply men and women that are passionate about the government that our founders gave us, and mourn for all the liberties that we have lost.
Hey mods - since when does making a blatant slanderous and unsubstantiated allegation of anti-semitism get a free pass, yet responding to it by likening the accuser's tactics to Je$$e Jackson suddenly becomes a crime? Just curious what kind of standard is at play here.
Thank you.
Sure it was.
I'm glad you agree then!
I know you don't hear it much, but thanks for all that yall do.
Oops. Forgot the </sarcasm> tag.
Yet no explanation of why the Pope would think so highly of Jeff Davis while simultaneously ignoring "Saint Abe"
Because he was Pius IX, the author of Quanta Cura and Syllabus of Errors, and opponent of all things liberal. Personal freedoms for the populus was an anathma to him, uphevals like the American Revolution and the French Revolution that led to wider participation in government were major sins in his eyes, so naturally he would have identified more with Davis than with Lincoln. The ability to actually own a part of the population was probably attractive to someone who thought that freedom of religion and separation of Church and State were wrong.
Besides, didn't Pius have Lincoln killed?
I think this has more to do with us having better things to do on our weekends.
Really? Then would you care to explain why the two members of your ranks who were here posted constantly throughout the day? Or perhaps you can enlighten us on why so many of you continue posting virtually all night to the wee hours of the morning and declare "victory" when persons like myself and LG cut out at 1 or 2 AM to do what normal people do, as in sleep.
And you, being a liberal, find that objectionable. Right?
If that's the case, shall I dig out how many times you've spelled "original" as "origional," even after it's been pointed out to you? That should have everyone rolling on the floor.
You may invoke any Council, summon any Commission or whatever cakebread prescription your religion requires, but please don't lecture me about incipient Catholic bashing after calling me a schismatic and a heretic, ok troll?
