So it turns out the part of my post that offended you was the part where I agreed with Wlat about Lincoln being the beginning of the end of Constitutional government. LOL - The one time I agree with waltrot on something and someone gets mad about it. Lincoln was the beginning of the end of our Constitutional government, everyone knows that, even Wlat. Do you deny it?

Thanks to Lincoln, the Constitution was amended to end slavery thereby disregarding the part about slaves. This was a major change and I have said before that the Constitution became more perfect after the end of slavery. Do you think the Constitution was better before the amendment to end slavery?

Not really, his political opponents within his party pushed for that amendment. It was they who freed the slaves, not Lincoln.

(sigh) No, not at all, and your question is absolutely asinine, as well as irrelevant to the point at hand. Unless of course your name is Al Sharpton and you're a shameless race baiter.

I have addressed your "comments", but I must point out that none of them answered my question. I'll ask again: Do you disagree with Wlat that Lincoln was the beginning of the end of our Constitutional government?
