“”“Is that clear enough for you?”

I said that Lincoln cared about negroes, and proved my point. I never said he was in favor of racial equality, which would in any case have been political suicide in his era.

“Lincoln was a 1860’s version of Hitler”

It wasn’t Lincoln who issued an order that certain enemy soldiers would be shot when captured, due to their race. That was Jefferson Davis. Perhaps the hatred that certain people feel towards Lincoln is a mirror onto their own hearts.

I’m inclined to say that slavery, being a historical accident with centuries of precedent, was not the fault of the South. However a century of Jim Crow racism was inflicted on this nation primarily by Southern racists. One of the dreadful results of this century of manifest injustice is the election of Barack Obama as POTUS.

You've opened up a can of worms! Obama thinks he is Lincoln!

I take it personally when you blame Southern people FOR his election. His election is directly because of a lack of Conservative effort A.K.A “McCain”- Don't blame “it” on anything other than what it is/Communism has taken root in American and now Secession may be the only hope!

Note- Southern States remain Conservative but two-Northern States that fought during the Civil War are largely Liberal

Kansas and others may not be But/New York,New England,Maine,Ext would fit right in with the U.S.S.R

Like father, like son
Liberal to the bone
