You make claims you can't back up. Par for the course for neo-Confederartes.

I already showed you what Lincoln had in common with Wellstone. They both liked taxes, they both liked government spending, and they both had cult-like followings from marxists. You have since then attempted to discuss the details and extent of these three items with me, but you have yet to dispute any one of them.

Davis taxed also. I believe in a low flat income tax so I guess I'm a liberal like Wellstone too, huh?

They both liked taxes,...

Davis taxed also. Since you don't believe in taxes, how should our army be financed?

...they both liked government spending,...

Any government has to spend money. Since Davis taxed and spent, did he love government spending?

...and they both had cult-like followings from marxists.

Like I said, Jesus and Jefferson has followings from liberals. Show me a modern Marxist cult that praises Lincoln as their hero.

You have since then attempted to discuss the details and extent of these three items with me, but you have yet to dispute any one of them.

They're too general and subjective. The U.S. raised revenue to win the Civil War and so you say Lincoln loved taxing and spending. It has always taken money to win wars so your claims are meaningless. The Confederacy did exactly the same thing so your claims are meaningless in that way too. And a Marx praised Lincoln for freeing the slaves. Well, I'd hope that people of every political stripe would praise Lincoln for that. I guess the neo-Confederate strain can't though and will even go so far as to criticize others for this praise.
