Words That Got a Congressman Deported

- Tom DiLorenzo - lewRockwell

"And, again, like DiLorenzo, no condemnation of the South's slavery or of Southern slave owners from you -- only of Lincoln who didn't end the institution fast enough for you. "

No Jim, he didn't end slavery in time for the thousands of slaves that died while he was playing politics, not me. He was the only man that could have at that time ended slavery, starting in the north, and stopped the suffering but he was more interested in being re-elected. You want us in some twisted way to believe this made him a great man.

I thought I made it clear when I said "Point of fact, I abhor even the thought of slavery and would never extol the virtues of anyone promoting it." that I was against slavery, in all of it's forms. Why didn't I denounce Lee and all the others? Simple, this is not about them, this is about Lincoln and the fact that he would rather see slaves suffer than risk his chances at election time. So don't go spinning this into my supporting the south and those who would still have slaves. Here you go accusing me of what in fact you have been doing, playing spin doctor. There may be a job for you with Obama's department of obfuscation.

How is it that you can in good conscience go on extolling Lincoln for his ruthless and brutal criminal act of war against the south yet not see that the south was protecting itself from unfair and over reaching government oppression of their economic success? Were the southerners wrong for keeping slaves, yes. Were those in the north wrong for keeping slaves, also yes. The difference is that the southerners were at least open and honest about what their intentions were on the matter of slavery. Lincoln, a true politician, glossed over his indifference to slavery and only brought it up as an excuse to run a money grab.

Who's worse here? Those that openly tell you they want slavery to continue or those who tell you they oppose it while continuing the practice?

Beginning of the headline :Congressman Clement L. Vallandigham (D-Ohio) was the original American "whistleblower." Serving as a member of Congress from Dayton, Ohio during the War to Prevent Southern Independence, his criticisms of the Lincoln regime earned him the reputation as the leader of the Democratic opposition. The Republican Party smeared him (and all other opponents as a "copperhead" (a.k.a. snake in the grass). On May ... Read More
