Well they didn't ask me! ;D

Just goes to show that historians don't know squat about Constitutional government. ::)

Things they will call evils;
They differ enormously about what evils
They will call excusable." - G.K. Chesterton

Look at who did the rating... Yankees, who don't know any better.

Yeah, they sure can pick their heroes.

* Lincoln, an admitted racist, a man who defied the Constitution more times than any man in history (he despised it), a man who supported apartheid.

And Yankees don't even understand that he trampled all over their rights, too, not just Southerners.
Yes, go ahead and think of him as the greatest President. It shows YOUR true values if you believe it...

ironfoot, if you would take the time to read some of the FACTS for yourself, you wouldn't hold this man in such high regard. Oh yeah, you're a Yankee and you are too afraid to look at the TRUTH because it might just show you something bout yourself. Something like ... ummm... you've been WRONG !

You refuse to look at the truth for yourself. You deny that which you do not understand and yet you believe others are wrong when they do know the truth and are not afraid to tell it to people like you.
Take your hypocrisy somewhere else. Oh yes, you're too ignorant to KNOW you are a hypocrite.

DEO VINDICE    For you stupid unlearned Yankees, this is Latin for "GOD WILL VINDICATE" and it is the motto on the Great Seal of the Confederacy. You don't even realize we are vindicated every day when you people deify someone like Abraham Lincoln... Sad. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk
