Good morning fellow DU'ers, I was wondering what's up with the Lincoln bashing? Is it from the "If I could save the union by freeing slaves I would do it, if I could save the union by not freeing the slaves, I would do it?" Because that quote is always taken out of context and never finished. Also although Lincoln was a Republican the first time he ran, he did not let his party abuse him and was hated by those within his own party line. Finally, I call myself a stone cold left liberal and I will support whatever party or candidate stands for the liberals, and now that means working for the Democratic party (of the mainstream parties). If I lived in the 1860s I would have voted Republican Lincoln but now it's different. It doesn't make sense to hate a guy who was part of a party that existed over a hundred years ago. What do you guys think?
