I doubt that Lincoln was 100 % free of racism. It would be impossible or nearly so for a prominent person of his time to be so. I dislike the current liberal frenzy that is tearing down statues and destroying American History by calling everyone who was famous from our past, a racist.

To me it is the same tactic employed by those responsible for the Salem Witch Trials. Call your enemies witches in order to destroy them. Substitute racist for witch and you have modern America.

I am currently reading a biography on Thomas " Stone Wall " Jackson the great Confederate General. By current Liberal American Standards he was an irredeemable racist villain. The truth about the man is not so simple. He was a slave owner, and fought for the side that wanted slavery to continue.

There are some curious facts concerning this racist. He taught a Sunday School Class for Blacks because he wanted them to improve themselves and also to get them into Heaven. He took some flak from other Southerners for this. He was not a large slave owner. He owned a small number. He treated them very well. He even had Blacks coming to him asking him to buy them because he treated his slaves so well.

His decision to fight for the Confederacy was not rooted in hardcore love for slavery. It was because of Patriotism and loyalty to his home state of Virginia.
I doubt that Lincoln was 100 % free of racism. It ... (show quote)


We agree...

And I don't have an issue with racists...

John A MacDonald was a racist... And a drink... And a great man...

Ending slavery in no way proves he was not racist... And by his own words he was fine with the institution...


I was shocked to learn that The Emancipation Proclamation was only in respect to those states that succeeded from the Union and refused to rejoin voluntarily. The states that came back to the Union could keep their slaves, as well as the northern slave owners. That was the case at the time it was written.

Not so shocking.... If one believes that the civil War was over things other than slavery...

How have you been?

Tried the last couple of months. The planneddemic and this bizarre election has about 'whooped' me. The spike is so bad in this country, but especially in this area. My wife is more afraid than ever.City Hall is closed again, this time for 3 weeks so far.
Many, many people still come to the doors and knock even though we have signs, ( 3'x3')(or 91.44 cm. sq.), at every entrance and there is information on the door, and I try to help them. I have pretty much all the applications that are available and including tax relief for veteran widows and rental assistance for those who have lost jobs due to Covid. City Hall is a hotbed of too little or plain old misinformation.
The election has me worried. I hear that they will NOT take away guns, but will just make ammunition super expensive. If that happens, the black market will boom! Not to mention amnesty and Social Security for 11,000,000 illegal aliens. He's appointing Obama's cabinet who appointed Clinton's cabinet, there by making the swamp bigger than it was before Trump.
Of course, the election was the biggest sham ever pulled in the history of the world! Various courts have thrown out over 50 cases not for lack of evidence, but without even hearing the cases! The thing is, it's no longer 'there is no fraud' to there is fraud but it's not enough to sway the election'. So, now it's a question, yes there is fraud but how much is too much, and if there was too much, was there enough to tip the election results in Biden's favor. The Democrats say no, but they're the ones being accused.
I'll get off of my stump now.
I've had 3 good doctor reports recently. My kidney function was unchanged, which is good. My family doctor said I was doing well and that my A1C had dropped, not in target yet, but a definite improvement, and my liver doctor has taken me off of stage 4 and reversed it to stage 3, and that's a BIG improvement.
I've got my bike 98% finished! I'm sending a couple of pictures.
Well, I hope you and yours are well and happy and strong,
Your friend,
David

The whole front end! The full view shows where I lowered the pedals and you can see the upper socket for where the pedals were to start with. The lower shows bracing I had to add. The whole thing was unsightly...ugly and still was not right.
So, I cut all of that off and re-did the front with new tubing and covered the tie rod with a piece of square tubing that fit so close that I had to beat it on.
