One thing that always grabs my attention is their unswerving deification of Lincoln - the man who had no faults. A man that stated on numerous (and DOCUMENTED) occasions that he did not consider blacks his equal, and that he had absolutely no interest in ending slavery, is portrayed as the Saviour of the free world.

[Non-Sequitur]

I can't speak for others but I certainly don't believe that Lincoln was a man without faults. But warts and all he was a better man than his confederate counterpart, and his view towards blacks, while racist by todays standards, were still better than those of every southern leader.

Such deification requires studious ignorance of fact. That's what these people are best at doing.
