Face it; Birdwatcher worships at the feet of a central gov't, with Lincoln as the Messiah of the same. It's nigh biblical in devotion, and self-blinded all the same.
Lincoln abrogated the Constitution in a manner even Birdwatcher admits, violated the premise of a free people breaking away from a government they no longer can tolerate, and yet, Birdwatcher considers the "great emancipator" as next to God Himself in greatness. All the while contradicting statements Birdwatcher himself has made about the sovereignty of the Constitution and the rights of people to self-govern.
I reiterate my opinion of him as to intellectual honesty.
Can you imagine what it must be like to have one of your children subjected to this schit and beholden to it in a public school?
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.
