And as for checking footnotes, you appear to have some difficulty staying on topic, which isn't surprising as the subject is not favorable to your perspective.
So, enjoy your neo-Confederate romance with the marxist/socialist Calhoun, the slave owner who would BAN all free speech to protect his black property. If you think that in any way aligns you with the cause of liberty, you are deluded to the max and clearly above my reason. You are in the old "spam" basket from here on out. Feel free to post your "oh yeah?" I won't be reading any more of your posts.
Well someone here may not know how to check footnotes, but it isn’t me.
I read Bassani’s footnote and then looked up the original Calhoun source it referred to. You should try doing that sometime.
The fact that your reply to me quoted some of Calhoun’s words, and then tried to pass them off as coming from a wholly unrelated work is a lesson for anyone curious about the quality of your scholarship.
It’s apparent that you are willing to play fast and loose with your sources, if that furthers the hobbyhorse you are currently riding.
” You are in the old “spam” basket from here on out. Feel free to post your “oh yeah?” I won’t be reading any more of your posts.”
How will I ever endure such a fate?!
But I congratulate you on having such a policy. It keeps you from having to answer critics who poke holes in your goofier revisionist theories.
