New? I used to argue with you neo-Confederates all the time and then Lincoln's poll numbers went up dramatically so I could see that the liberal and neo-Confederate attacks on Lincoln backfired.

Poll numbers...is he still running for office?

The liberals have now adopted a new strategy to say "OK, OK, we now agree that Lincoln was great but he was really a liberal".

That strategy is not new at all. Liberals have loved The Lincoln since his days in the white house starting with Karl Marx.

Anyone who disagrees with Lincoln's actions in preserving the union and ending slavery has some serious fundamental differences with the Republican Party now and historically.

Lysander Spooner disagreed with The Lincoln's actions, and he was one of history's greatest abolitionists. Does that make him a "neo-confederate" too?

He's now ranked as the best president in polls.

Marx praised the founding fathers too. Look in FR archives and you'll see that there was a big liberal attack on Lincoln a couple years ago from Spielgberg et al.

Do you know the meaning of the prefix "neo"?
