Hi FRiends,
I have two brothers who I love very much, theyre young and libertarian Ron Paul supporters, sigh. We get along and Im hoping that one day theyll come back to conservatism, but they have bought into a theory that I dont 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
I like Abe Lincoln, so I won’t be arguing he was a dictator. He was a president during the roughest patch of US History.
I, like most Southerners can be just as charming as hell to Yankees, hiding our real feelings on such matters. You'd never know that I think you are all socialist scum. Or worse, mule tit republicans.
interesting and this thread is still going on.
WOW
not even clicked on that link but I bet I know what they are saying and it is the usual ignorant dumb comments as per usual
LOL
Brilliant, I nearly spat my drink over the keyboard.
spouse must have run off with a southerner
HE DID
same here I don’t bother replying to his/her posts at all.
All I would do is give them attention they crave for.
I got told once off a wise man .
you cannot educate ignorance,
how true
LOL
was at the chevy dealer talking to a lovely woman and who I have talked ot many times.
Just then a couple form MA came up with their arrogant attitude blaming the last mechanic that they might, MIGHT have ruined and sabotaged their car for their journey back to MA.
The southern woman asked well how do you know , is it broke or overheating.
no
well I don’t get why you’re here and how we can help if your car is not broke.
This MA arrogant couple went beserk and told the woman it’s alright for her she had a pay rise
HUH we said
the couple was so far up their own arse and thankfully they’re going back up there.
We wee all talking later about the couple and everyone there said that it’s not uncommon for them to come down here and think they’re above everyone else .
Maybe the confederate flag got them all pissy I don’t know but after that I think they might not be coming back to this town
I guess your disinterest doesn’t extend to the keyboard, Too bad. Make your point on the subject or please STFU.
My last posted to you is in error. Sorry I thought you were somebody else(troll).
NAIL ON HEAD
The msot racism I have ever seen and heard was in MA and mostly in south Boston.
you can still walk down the road and hear the N word out loud, most do not have their kids in school there but catholic school and i asked why
The reply was
Because there’s too many N%%%%%% who go there.
We hear about Selma etc but how about the national guard in south Boston for weeks and remember Mark Walburg(sp) got arrested back in the day throwing stones at the blacks kids gong to school while he was shouting racist comments.
funny how the MSM never mentions Boston and their race riots
true, most yankees down here who walk around thinking they own the place and have that smug attitude have no clue they are not liked
talking about NS not you .
I never engage her/him anymore because of the repeated trolling and pure B/S
As for interest, you better believe I am interested not with NS though
----------------------------------------------------
How's Work?
Didn't know 7 Eleven had puters?
Oops, another case of “friendly fire” lol...
yap
Hmm, NS is a she?
Have you seen its postings on the “Obama isn’t a natural born citizen” threads?
They’re insane! And exactly as you describe.
Well well well.
Heel bitch (and fetch me the paper)...
