Defending someone accused of a crime is different than defending someone that has been proven to be guilty and convicted. No other excuse is needed.
Throwing around the insults, as you do, makes you still seem so childish and ignorant.
Insulting does, by no means, help your argument.
You are to easy to mess with, it's time to move on.
No one is defending the South of practising slavery. The only thing I defend it of is starting the Civil War. If a man is convicted of armed robbery but then gets a DUI, is a lawyer who defends him on the later charge defending him of committing armed robbery?
Your attempt to accuse me of supporting slavery couldn't be more sleazy, pathetic or dishonest.
As for throwing around insults, accusing me of supporting slavery isn't an insult?
You're obviously a colossal dumbass. That isn't an insult. It's the simple truth. You and the rest of the Lincoln cult don't have the mental capacity to carry on a rational discussion.
You're commending the South for starting the most devastating war in American history? And then you claim the "Lincoln cult" lacks the mental capacity to hold a discussion?
Irony, thy name is britpat
How was leaving the union starting a war. Did somebody force Lincoln to invade the South and use illegal force to dragoon them back into the union? Who put a gun to Lincoln's head?
.....wait, that comes later.
Raising a standing army and firing on Fort Sumpter starts a war sure enough.
I seem to remember your name somewhere, a sign:
No Smo-
king.
King Nosmo was a parody on the no smoking sign where smoking is broken up into two lines. I remember it from Beverly Cleary's "Ramona" books. I was a boy, but loved these books, go figure. Read my sister's books, played with her toys...what was going on there?
Oh, what were we talking about? Yes, who started the War of Northern Aggression. Lincoln did when he drew up 75,000 troops and invaded Virginia. Everything short of that could have been worked out in peace negotiations if forcing the seceding states were not a an intransigent demand by Lincoln. No attempt at peaceful resolution was attempted because the South absolutely wanted to secede and Lincoln absolutely wanted to force them back into the union.
Unless you're going to make the insanely STUPID argument that had Fort Sumter not been fired upon, the WNA would never have happened.
King Nosmo.
