Really, this is not rocket science, if you simply remember that the Confederate military assault on Fort Sumter was just as much a Game Changer as was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941.

No. You did NOT go there. Wait...you DID. Geez.

You ought to be writing copy for MSNBC.

So let’s see if I understand correctly: you are the official Free Republic PC police, authorized to call out anybody that doesn’t speak your officially sanctioned language?

Sorry, but the truth of this matter is: that analogy is almost exact, including the fact that both Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt were warned that sending naval forces to Sumter or Pearl could “provoke” an enemy attack, and both ignored the warnings.

My point is that we never blame FDR for Pearl Harbor and should not blame Lincoln for Fort Sumter.
