Then he is a moral idiot.

Actually, I believe he is the descendant of a black confederate. Or would you deny him his right to celebrate his ancestors.

BTW, no comment on Spooner yet? His anti-slavery and pro-equality credentials surpass those of Lincoln by a hundred miles. They also surpass those of the entire Republican Party in his era and probably 99% of his fellow abolitionists. There are few if any other people in the whole American history who devoted so much time and effort as did Spooner to achieving freedom for blacks. He knew what he was talking about better than any other man in his day, and he denounced Lincoln as a fraud.

He's free to celebrate his ancestors all he wants. But if his ancestor fought to keep his fellow blacks in chains, both the ancestor--and he--is a moral idiot.

Spooner's opinions are historically interesting, but nobody who lives in the 21st century has any right to think that Lincoln "should never have been President" without revealing themselves to be bloodyminded fools.... or Neo-Confederates unworthy of being taken seriously by grownups.
