[Non-Sequitur]

If it were true, would you agree with me that Lincoln was a scumbag?

If it isn't true will that change your opinion on Lincoln's scumbagness?

Notice folks how this guy, Non-Sequitur, dodged my question. Obama-like, isn't it!

He dodged it because, what I said about "Honest Abe" leaving Mary Todd and the boys to ride on a train that he feared would be attacked IS true, at least according to the people who were with Lincoln when he abandoned that train. It's also true according to biographers of Mary Todd Lincoln. E.g. Turner and Turner’s Mary Todd Lincoln, Her Life and Letters:

She was not free of anxiety … until her own train had passed safely through the restless crowds in Baltimore.

But LIARS, like Non-Sequitur, are more comfortable citing revisionist history. He knows about this stuff because I have pointed it out to him before. I have also quoted to him the reports of a NY Times correspondent allowed to ride with Lincoln (obviously a Lincoln supporter) and the report of Lincoln's own security guy, Pinkerton, who alerted him to the threats.

For those who do not know, I have NEVER lived south of Long Island, NY. I have just learned that all the history I learned in high school isn't all the history there is to learn.
