These people are losers.
What is it that keeps you posting to a conservative forum? You aren't a conservative by any stretch of the imagination and you're obviously only nominally an American. You and your little academic chums should toddle off and find someplace where government worship and bashing of the Constitution is an accepted norm. May I suggest the Declaration foundation's little site? Take your Gore worshipping pal Wlat with you.
Oh boy! Is this DiLorenzo's next scam to rip you losers off?
This habit you kids have of calling other people "losers" reveals what uneducated children you are.

Your snotty little attitude tells me that you have nothing intelligent to say so you simply demand that I go away. That is called a loser where I come from. I have been a Conservative since Barry Goldwater ran for president and I take a back seat to no one in my credentials. Part of being a conservative is understanding history, facing reality, and being prepared to debate issues from a background of knowledge, not resorting to childish insults as you are apt to do.
Live you myths all you want, but you will never be anything but a loser until you face reality.
In 1848, had anyone ever heard the term Marxist?
What were the Revolutions of 1848 about?
Would you as a Loyal Son of the South been for or against them?
"The Gettysburg speech was at once the shortest and the most famous oration in American history... the highest emotion reduced to a few poetical phrases. Lincoln himself never even remotely approached it. It is genuinely stupendous. But let us not forget that it is poetry, not logic; beauty, not sense. Think of the argument in it. Put it into the cold words of everyday. The doctrine is simply this: that the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg sacrificed their lives to the cause of self-determination -- that government of the people, by the people, for the people, should not perish from the earth. IT IS DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE ANYTHING MORE UNTRUE. The Union soldiers in the battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves." -- H.L. Mencken
This explains you and the other Apesters:
"The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of the nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell a big one." -- Adolf Hitler - "Mein Kampf" - (1926)
More Southern charm?
Could it be that you don't have a clue what any of those answers would be?
Come on --- tell us all about the “Marxist” Revolutions that Lincoln supported.
You need to develop a frame of reference before anyone can explain anything to you. It's a waste of time telling you anything anyway. You just skim responses to you looking for a hook to hang another of your inane remarks on.
LOL. Why don't you tell us who ran Europe in 48.
Stay tuned!
Cheers,
