Yeah, and you’re clearly so proud of your “Illinois Butcher” line that you had to take the oppotunity[sic] to roll that bit of wit out again. I understand how it is.

Funny, I have been studying Civil War history for decades now. I started out like everyone else thinking that Lincoln was a near God like emancipator. I've since learned otherwise. I had to read original sources, to gain perspective and objectivity, ultimately de-brainwash myself. I highly recommend it.

It appears to me that you’ve merely changed one set of misguided beliefs for another, even more misguided set. Some people are like that, unable to find that the truth lies somewhere between the extremes. You’re apparently one of them. If Lincoln isn’t a God, then he must be Satan. The option that he was a man, an elected official in a politically and militarily volatile atmosphere simply can’t be in your world. It’s okay. You can’t help yourself.

So you started with a false premise and turned it into anti-American hatred. Bravo for you!
