I quote the Supreme Court pretty often, and the people of the day. That you characterize it as "snippets off of newsgroups" will speak to the people who can hear.
On many occasions I have seen him stare directly in the face of first hand historical evidence and deny its existence because admitting otherwise would require him to admit that Abe Lincoln was something other than an infallable deity.
How long did it take for you to craft --that-- sentence? Boy, if that's all you have on Lincoln -- that he wasn't God, I reckon you are about done in this contest.
Abraham Lincoln was a man who made mistakes, but he got an awful lot right. Lincoln had a powerful intellect. He had a full helping of common sense and a great capacity for work. He also had a great and good heart. It's no wonder he is considered one of the greatest Americans, if not the greatest. I defend Mr. Lincoln against your calumnies. Why don't you run some of them up again, and we'll see how they fly this time.

No Walt. You only quote the court when it supports your view or, more often, when an out of context snipet from a court ruling that you discovered on a newsgroup can be twisted to support your view. But when the court contradicts your view or something that your false god did, you could care less about what it has to say.
and the people of the day.
Not really. You only offer quotes from the people of the day insofar as they can be spun out of context to suggest support for some act of The Lincoln. More often that not, your flood of cut n' paste quotes is wholly irrelevant to the item you are arguing.
That you characterize it as "snippets off of newsgroups" will speak to the people who can hear.
That it will, and those who have seen you post will recognize immediately that your most frequent and favorite "source" for everything is indeed a newsgroup.
How long did it take for you to craft --that-- sentence?
A few seconds of typing. How long did it take you to draft --that-- non-response?
Boy, if that's all you have on Lincoln -- that he wasn't God, I reckon you are about done in this contest.
Your straw man is noted, Walt. As you can plainly see, my argument was not about The Lincoln's lack of divine qualities but rather about YOUR inability to comprehend that he lacks divine qualities. Read it again: On many occasions I have seen him stare directly in the face of first hand historical evidence and deny its existence because admitting otherwise would require him to admit that Abe Lincoln was something other than an infallable deity.
Abraham Lincoln was a man who made mistakes
Name them then. This will be a first for you.
