What I think is weird is that if you spent that same amount of energy tearing down George Washington or Thomas Jefferson for being flawed, and not abolitionists, most Freepers would think you were a nut case. I'll just say that I think your obsession is potentially unhealthy. Lincoln died almost 140 years ago. Get over it. It's a topic worthy of study, but you need to get a grip.

Yeah, pretty strange Lincoln would repeatedly come up on Civil War threads.

I've noticed that you have gone out of your way to be rude to people with your smarmy comments. "I'll just say" that you seem to be an all-around unpleasant person, from the posts I have seen here and other threads. Your behaviour and presentation is anythng but convincing - like thinking you have made a huge point by adding up the number of times a judge was quoted on a legal database (for example).

The argument was whether St. George Tucker was as important an influence on the rulings of the United States Supreme Court as Joseph Story.

If you know a better way to get at that than how many times he's cited, you're free to suggest it.
