Webster's "the slaveholders were radicalized by the abolitionists" argument is precisely the same sort of defeatist twaddle as the modern "the Muslim world is radicalized by the War on Terror" argument.

Neither the slavery issue, nor the War on Terror, are the simplistic issues you want to pretend. Other than offending your own apparent need to address complex subjects with your own subjective ex cathedra pronouncements, the two have nothing whatever in common.

You will note that Webster gave reasons for his view. He cited almost twenty years of empirical evidence. You offer not one shred of evidence or any rational thought to reject his opinion. Pathetic stuff to assail a brilliant an honorable patriot--a Senator whose character absolutely towers over those of the tawdry and petty little men, who strut around Washington today. Your disrespect for Webster tells a lot about you. Nothing about Webster. Fully on a par with your disgusting hateful ranting against the Old South.

More of your moral-relativist twaddle.

Slavery is evil. Terrorism is evil. It's that simple.
