You still haven’t told me what “barbs” I shot at you. Lie about what? You are libeling me, incidentally. You seem way oversensitive, whatever it is.

I didn’t infer that “conservatives” are no better than liberals. I said LIBERALS like Lincoln because he did something for their favorite group, and he opened up alot of cans of worms for big government. And liberals, like Lincoln in many cases, pay lip service to the Constitution.

I just don’t think many people, including many conservatives, really understand the Founders and the founding era and how that went into the Constitution. Nor how it conflates with the “Civil War” situation. I can’t help thinking many conservatives stick with Lincoln because he was “the 1st Republican” and they like what he did. But many of us DON’T, to either part.

It’s not a huge deal to me as it is to you. I don’t “re-fight” the Civil War because too many people already do that and I don’t think it’s fair to the other soldiers in other wars (besides WWII). I’m still much more concerned with the lack of knowledge (much less interpretation) of the whole founding era - the Revolution, etc. I’m very big on the Revolution and the miracle it was - and how it was also a civil war, much more than the “US Civil War”.

Too bad you can’t just have a civil discussion, apparently, without whipping out a bad attitude; all I did was state my view in straight terms, even if not in the best English. I’m more than willing to discuss; I just have an opinion that happens to offend many people.
