If you have the time, please read Thomas DiLorenzo's "The Real Lincoln." DiLorenzo is the Goebbels of the Neo-Confederates.

It's awful, mendacious and stupid ... and praised by Paul Craig Roberts, Joe Sobran, Walter Williams, and many others who should know better.

Perhaps I'm being alarmist, but I fear a reign of ignorance and slander if we do not do something to refute these gross lies.

Read it.

Please.

Liberty and Union, one and inseparable, now and forever!

I'll try to get to it. There is a new book on Lincoln by Guelzo that I have to read first.

Without realizing it, the Neo-Confederates put themselves in the position of (obviously) defending not only a slave society, but worse, relying on the intellectual support of that "giant," John C. Calhoun, who, if you read him, was a MARXIST. He wanted to enslave all blacks, and many whites. He believed in the "labor theory of value," which is the essence of Marxism.

What's funny is that many of these neo-Cons don't realize that the only support for their concepts of "states rights" were formulated by a socialist. Except that it was George Fitzhugh, another socialist pro-slave guy who argued that everyone ought to be enslaved.
