Yup. Another thing I eventually realized didn't make any sense was Lincoln's Gettysburg address. That "Four score an seven years..." statement refers to 1776 when a group of slave owning states was attempting to break away from a Union, (United Kingdom) and had their armies led by a slave owning General from Virginia.
Total cognitive dissonance.
Sadly, DiogenesLamp is incapable of cognitive dissonance -- literally can't see it, won't look at it, fails to understand it, unless, unless it somehow supports his Lost Cause fantasies.
