HandyDandy “Man”, you wrote, “Big man you are to spit on him. He’d have knocked your teeth out the back of your skull.”

No doubt Lincoln was a thug and a tyrant, and I wouldn’t put it past him to have beaten up a few women in his life.

For the record, I am a retired old lady who was born and raised in the north, and served as a librarian in northern public schools until retirement. So please refrain from playing the, “I’m a big man because I support Lincoln and he would knock your teeth out”, B. S.

Our primary political differences is that I oppose all forms of tyranny. You don’t seem to recognize tyranny when it “smacks you upside the head”. Ever hear of a man named Henry Charles Carey, one of Lincoln’s economic “geniuses”? He is mentioned in this 15 year-old FR post:

Well, well, well. It turns out you are a little old lady. Never in my wildest dreams have I imagined a little old lady "spitting" (let alone, on Lincoln and his memory). I'm reminded that Abe once blamed the war on a "little old lady". Pardon my mysoginistic mistake (I thought it odd that a guy would be a librarian.)

Anyway, I checked out your FR link to the old thread because I had not heard of Henry Charles Carey. I should have smelled it coming from a mile off. Guess who I found at your link. The one and only, great aggregator of never before heard, yet so excoriating facts about Abe Lincoln; the one man show Thomas DiLorenzo! So sad. So sad. You show very poor discrimination in what you will read. Just because you can read DiLorenzo doesn't mean you should. To me, now, you are just another fake history sucker.

Time for you to re-read Alexander Stephens "Cornerstone Speech". Try to focus more on what people like Fredrick Douglas and General Robert E. Lee had to say about Lincoln. Ya know, other great men who were his contemporaries. If the gypsys show up at your door trying to sell you a repaving job, call the police.

It seems Lincoln's "economic guru", Henry Carey, felt that the economic division in the USA was caused by the British:

“The Executive [Lincoln] is frequently compelled to affix his signature to bills of the highest importance, much of which he regards as wholly at war with the national interests. “To British free trade it is, as I have shown, that we stand indebted for the present Civil War. Had our legislation been of the kind which was needed for giving effect to the Declaration of Independence, that great hill region of the South, one of the richest, if not absolutely the richest in the world, would long since have been filled with furnaces and factories, the laborers in which would have been free men, women, and children, white and black, and the several portions of the Union would have been linked together by hooks of steel that would have set at defiance every effort of the ‘wealthy capitalists’ of England for bringing about a separation. Such, however, and most unhappily, was not our course of operation. Rebellion, therefore, came, bringing with it an almost entire stoppage of the societary movement, with ruin to a large proportion of those of the men...”

Now you cast the aspersions on Lincoln of abusing women. Are you sure you aren't really DiLorenzo pretending to be a little old lady? Ya know, your buddy Jeff Davis (the one who died pro-Union) tried to escape Justice at the end of the War disguised as a little old lady, wearing his wife's dress.

Just the other day, the President of The United Sates (who was recently sworn into office with his hand on The Lincoln Bible) alluded favorably to Lincoln in his very well reveived speech on national television. Obviously you hold Trump in the same contemptuous category as you do me.
