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
nice picture of Mr.H.K. , Met him once outside of Montgomery,Alabama on his march to Texas.
I have no doubt that it would.
Considering the laws put in place following the War of Southern Rebellion it's hard to see how anyone did show any gratitude.
Cleary, my expressing gratititude in no way reflects the feelings of those that lived 140+ yrs ago.
I've no doubt of that.
All I can do is read letters and look at photos of old men who seem to be decorated at reunions by somebody- who?
Hard to say.
No, that's your particular phobia. One has to wonder why?
No, it’s one of yours. You are for gay marriage, DODT and all that good stuff. One has to wonder why you are so obsessed with gays and so obsessed with saying others are obsessed with it. I guess it pisses you off that YOUR little president is gay and always will be. His wife is 3 times the man he will ever be. THAT’s what you’re really pissed about isn’t it Caractacus..... or is it Bob?
P*ss off you pathetic little troll. It must really bug you to be called a troll by our Southern Navy Seal here on FR. LMAO!
Time is nothing, people change and their views change over time but what I do not get is if someone does not like the south nor southerners then why keep coming on threads where it is about the south
_______________
To fight, try to enrage others, hope to make them lose it and then get them banned so they can silence them. Take a little stroll through non-sequitur’s past posts on FR. He came in fighting and is still fighting. He is a no life loser than gets off on fighting on the internet. He hate Texas, Bush, Palin, loves Jon Stewart, hates the South and anyone that lives there, loves gays, believes the Constitution is a living breathing document and is always trying to change the meaning of it. I could go on and on. Of course every once in a while he reminds us that he is a conservative. He has to state it because his posting history sure as hell doesn’t show that. His posts speak for themselves.
if he likes all that then no wonder I never agree with it about anything
do us a favor please and that is ping me to these kind of treads if you ever see them and I’m not on
One could more properly wonder the same about you.
You're wrong. But where is the surprise in that?
Yet another thing you have in common with Obama, along with a basic inability to tell the truth about anything.
I’m not the one posting on FR 24/7 and looking for threads that I can be sure to find a fight. YOU are and have been since the day you joined. You come here for one reason, to go on threads where you can pick a fight. You cannot deny that. PERIOD! Your past history is there for all to see and it speaks for itself.
Will do. :) Have a great weekend.
How about posting some photos of those graves and save us the travel expenses?
While you're at it you might also post an explaination of how you came to 'know' the graves contain black confederates.
Thanks to all that served in the P.A.C.S. regardless of race, creed , etc.
And yet there ya'll were, you and the other stooges spending all day yesterday wondering where I was. And half the evening, too. And speaking of obsessed, you can look at my posts for the past week or the past month and find dozens of other topics I've posted on. Look at Idabooby's posts and you have to go back almost a month before you can find a single topic not related to the rebellion that he posted on. That's obsession, not to mention more Lost Cause hypocrisy. And that is exactly why dealing with you jackasses is so amusing. You accuse me of doing nothing during the work day but posting on FR - yet you morons are right there all day with me. You accuse me of obsessing on the rebellion, yet you morons are right there trading post for post. You accuse me of hatred of the South - yet your hatred for the U.S. in general and the North in particular surpasses anything I've ever posted. You accuse me of obsessing on race, and for the last two days your boobs have done little but post revisionist nonsense on how much the service of these mythical masses of black confederates was appreciated. And the funniest part of it all is the fact that you all don't realize just how stupid all that makes you appear.
There sure were. A few hundred were rounded up and put into the ranks between March 1865, when the confederate congress authorized it, and the time the confederacy collapsed.
Why do you Neo-Yanks have such a hard time with that? I never thought it such a big deal, apparently it throws you guys in a hissy fit. Why?
It's not the fact that there were blacks in the confederate ranks - nobody denies that. It's the fact that you Lost Causers constantly overstate their numbers and repeat the myth that their service was recognized and appreciated by their white confederate compatriots that have us shaking our heads and trying to correct the myths.
Where are their WEAPONS?
