Like a dog returning to its vomit DegenerateLamp is returning to its tired strawman.
You can't even properly understand the concept of "strawman."
A "strawman" is a deliberately distorted version of an opponents position. The debater then points out how ridiculous and offensive are the particulars of this false position that he is attributing to someone else.
The point is, it's not an accurate representation of their position, it is like a man made of straw. It vaguely has the shape of a man, but it is not a man.
No, I wasn't distorting BroJoeK's position, I was articulating my own position, and I believe that of others, that the Union launched a war against the South to protect the pocketbooks of New England.
