Not a credible source.

Apparently anything that disagrees with your position is "not a credible source." Remember the discussion we once had that I summarized as follows?

- You claimed that President Johnson's policy toward the Southern states was not Lincoln's policy.
- I cited a Republican Congressman saying it was.
- You said the Congressman was wrong.
- I cited a Republican Cabinet member (Welles) saying that it was.
- You argued that Lincoln agreed with Radical Republican Stanton's Reconstruction plan, whatever that was.
- I pointed out that the account of the last cabinet meeting didn't support your position.
- You argued that the notion that Lincoln and the Radicals were enemies was a fiction concocted by Democrat historians.
- I cited reports of disagreement over Reconstruction between Lincoln and the Radicals.
- I cited the Wade-Davis Manifesto as evidence of the deep division between Radicals and Lincoln.
- At this point you claimed I was making stuff up, then left the thread.

You are consistent, Partisan, I'll say that. You haven't changed your posting style even though you've changed the name you post under.
