Evil incarnate. There's evil in the meat. The discussion of Lincoln's supposedly shakey abolitionism, long the opinion of the sophists like Kristol the less, and are pretty much not borne out in his later, far more abolitionary offerings on the matter, where he goes on to abolish that pernicious legal fiction that one human could own another human being on account their skin color, at the point of a gun, to every corner of the larger legal fiction, for all time. Not a bad job, Abe. For his passivity on the negro question, he would, mere hours later, find the shame of an assassin's bullet because we will all kill to defend even the most ridiculous fantasies because we are of an herd, and what one believes, one sees, an illusion en masse, in the end, though not until then, all must and will believe as you do.     An heartland abolitionist.   Roomed with Alan Keyes. 11:19:35 AM    comment
