Why is actually talking to someone rather than calling them names stupid?
Here’s a link to the whole interview you posted there. You’ll note it is “edited” so is not verbatim, unfortunately if your purpose is to find a pole to hoist Paul up on.
And I think if you google it you’ll see that a lot of people question some of Lincoln’s choices (especially with the hindsight of how much our government has grown once state’s rights were destroyed).
