[quote=TheRealThing]I suppose it's anybody's guess as to whom the above might have been directed. In any case, it would seem your unique gift is the ability to spout mixed metaphors in any imaginable situation. As best I could determine, you were attempting some kind of half-baked take off, on Steve Young's "C'Mon Man" a phrase he often used when he saw something in a game that didn't make much sense. So, did you mean to say come on man, or was it actually common man?

Now, if you want to go back and restate in plain English what ever the heck you were trying to say in post #40, please indulge yourself. Lincoln advocated for a Congress that would wield more power than the office of the President. I cannot believe that he would have been on board with sweeping executive orders that were designed to circumvent the rightful role of the Congress such as the ones coming down the pike in this day. Further, to try to say that because Lincoln shrewdly guided the US reunification as the result of the Civil War proves that he favored a federal government that should be empowered to overcome state sovereignty, or that that makes him a liberal by today's reckoning is absurd.[/QUOT


Wow! I am sorry I will write on a 3rd grade level now for you! I do apologize that you could not understand.

Now I made a statement (statement means a written thought)

Abe Lincoln would be considered to be Liberal or a bad guy to you

I gave many reasons ( it means examples) why I felt this way

My first example: Abe wanted a strong Union. That means he thought the United States should be together instead of seperate. He went to a war to make sure this happened.

My second example: Abe violated the law as you claim all bad guys do (liberals). He did this through taking property from others in this case slaves.

I gave another example but I have another appointment that I must attend.

I will add the idea of humor now and say "Common Man" :biglmao:
