I avoided the Tiller threads, because they seemed pointless. Personally, I’m glad the man is dead, but I wouldn’t support someone killing him.

Lincoln was a racist by today’s standards...almost everyone was then, even abolitionists.

The appropriate question is "Was Lincoln a racist by the standards of the time he lived in?" The answer is obviously no.

the left’s insistence that they are morally more righteous on racial, ethnic and religious issues than all peoples who came before them is their worst arrogance

Of course they are selective in their examples. Socrates is often held up as a pinnacle of moral virtue. Wonder if slavery was a big deal to him?
