[Mr. Silverback]

Is there any one of you neo-confederates who can discuss this issue without bending the truth?

Here's the whole sentence, emphasis on what you conveniently left unsaid:

"Abraham Lincoln is often referred to as 'The Great Emancipator' and yet, he did not publicly call for emancipation throughout his entire life. Lincoln began his public career by claiming that he was 'antislavery' -- against slavery's expansion but not calling for immediate emancipation.

Is there any one of you neo-confederates who can discuss this issue without bending the truth?

Had I wished to bend the truth I would not have given you the address. My point is, (and this I give to Lincoln's favor) that he was against slavery, said he was against slavery, argued against slavery, campaigned against slavery, but for political purposes failed to admit that he was an abolitionist. A rose by any other name, as the saying goes.

You seem to be a reasonable man, explain to me what is a neo-confederate.

[stand watie]

once more, using the "term of abuse" of "neo-confederate" marks the USER as a FOOL& a south-HATER.

every time you (or any other lunatic/bigot/dunce) use that term, i will remind you of that FACT.
