Hi FRiends,
I have two brothers who I love very much, they’re young and libertarian Ron Paul supporters, sigh. We get along and I’m hoping that one day they’ll come back to conservatism, but they have bought into a theory that I don’t think makes much sense:
Abe Lincoln was a dictator.
There are many websites dedicated to this nonsense you can Google "Abe Lincoln dictator" and get some weird stuff, if you want to check it out.
I need your help in busting this myth are there any books I can read on this subject to dispel this stuff? Do you know any of the arguments to combat this nonsense? Ie. Lincoln did not want to free the slaves.
Thanks for taking time out of your day to help me out, -Erod
God, do me a favor please.... keep talking trash about Florida, tell everyone how bad it sucks. Do me a favor... because it seems every damn Yankee in the US either vacations here, winters here or moves here. Tell all your Yankee friends every single thing you hate about Florida.
Does your boss know you post on FR all day long? You know lots of people have been fired when posts were sent to bosses. Just curious if they know they are paying you to chin slurp Lincoln and bash the South all day long.
I do however wonder how he makes a living since he seems to spend every waking moment of every day posting his garbage here.

I’m working on it.
But what do I know, my family has only been here 100 years.
Exactly.
Just think of it as tough love. Learn to get by without your chattel waiting on you hand and foot.
It’s tough to tell the players without a scorecard, eh?
Good God you're all stalking me. </sarcasm>
That fact, along with 9 or 10 years worth of the revisionist trash he continually posts here, tells me you all you need to know and also informs you as to why I no longer waste my time trying to reason with him. There is no point to it.
There was little if any reason in any of your posts to begin with.

And what about central_va, Idabilly, mojitojoe and the rest? They're going toe-to-toe with me. Not concerned about their employment?
No doubt a compassion troll...
Maybe even 3 or 4 different nations...
agree with Judge Douglas he is not my equal in many respects-certainly not in color, perhaps not in moral or intellectual endowment

Well that is pretty vile dontcha think? Who dies and made Lincoln God? How dare he say that blacks have less moral character and are not as intellectually endowed as others.
It's a plot. We send you all our crabby, whining, carping, complaining, foul tempered, left-turn-signal-leaving-on, doing-40-in-a-65-zone senior citizens and all the younger ones dumb enough to find Florida appealing and we keep all the smart ones. We figure those who go will fit right in with folks like you.

I'm off work right now. Won't start until about 4PM central. What about your boss?
We are almost up to 600 posts. I would gather about 60% of these represent NS attacks. Funny how this great Lincoln crusade has achieved such lasting benefits to America. Maybe there is something in water in Chicago?
Gee I don't know. The same nerve that allowed Jeff Davis to say this?
"We recognize the negro as God and God's Book and God's Law in nature tells us to recognize him - our inferior, fitted expressly for servitude. Freedom only injures the slave. The innate stamp of inferiority is beyond the reach of change. You cannot transform the negro into anything one-tenth as useful or as good as what slavery enables him to be."
Oh heck we did over 1200 on a thread where Ron Paul said Lincoln could have avoided the war by buying up the all the slaves. No doubt that sound logical to you.
But hey, go ahead and count them up. If I've got 360 posts then you win.
Speaking of which, how the heck are ya, Pea?
To HistorianDorisKearnsGoodwad, thanks for the update. I do believe NS is hot for Lincoln, maybe she gets off on generational slaughter? Who knows? I find it hard to believe she is from Charleston. Most folks from there are gracious and lucid.
I doubt she’ll answer. That was her once~a~quarter post lol...

Which obviously leaves you out as a Charleston native.
“implying homosexuality is very much alive and well in most Lost Causers”
Huh?
You really need to stop drinking diet sodas when indulging in free association.
Problem with that is, Britain did not fall but rose, and it’s still here (albeit not as it was 100 years ago). So much for those words of wisdom.
