Let me guess, an English major incapable of original work?
You aren’t very good at that little task, if the below is any example.
Let’s deconstruct your little screed, shall we?
“I am going to keep making the same arguments even if they are disproved our otherwise removed from contention”
You do not prove an argument by fiat.
“For example, even after you post text where Lincoln talks about the judgment of God being visited on the nation for the sin of slavery, I will continue to pretend that you were saying that Abe Lincoln supported radical abolitionists, thereby ‘disproving’ a point you never made.”
You rather seriously misrepresent my argument here. It’s almost as if you can’t read. The claim was made that the definition for the “grapes of wrath” line in the Battle Hymn of the Republic, written by the wife of one of John Brown’s friends in 1861, may be found in the address given by Lincoln in 1865. I pointed out that that doesn’t logically follow. In short, you’re doing to me what you claim I was doing to you. Par for the course for the ignorant liberal arts crowd, I guess.
“Plus, I’ll be sure to play the usual, stupid, bigoted, anti-intellectual ‘you disagree with me therefore you hate the South’ card.”
Actually, it’s the insults from your side in this argument that show your side to be the usual “, bigoted, anti-intellectual “.
“If you think I hate the South you’re blind and deaf. We’re done here.”
Good, sonny.
No, actually my degree is in business and as for original work I was the featured op-ed columnist in my local newspaper for three years, wrote a regular local history column for them and also served as a journalist writing stories on everything from military history to the difficulties of finding a new director for our city art museum. Among my current duties is serving as managing editor of a quarterly trade magazine, for which I write the occasional feature.
In short, another "oops" for you.

Um...so you really don't get that I was saying both Lincoln and Howe were talking about God's judgment on the nation for slavery? You really think I was saying that Julia Ward Howe read/heard/received as a download on the space radio Lincoln's Second Inaugural almost four years begfore it was delivered? It's impossible for you to conceive these people were talking about the same subject, in different years, using different phrasing? You really don't get that even after I posted the paragraph where Lincoln talks about God's wrath being visited on the nation?
And you're criticizing my reading skills? Good gravy!
