A Reader Comments on the Lincoln Cult
November 17, 2014
Steve M. writes of how much he appreciates my book, The Real Lincoln. He also has some choice comments about the Lincoln cult:
“Unlike many of your critics (many of whom should be sued for slander), my interest is not in propping up a massive, overbearing federal government, but in the sort of freedom a good moral person deserves.”
And getting to the heart of the matter: “Your critics are lying, dissembling losers. The facts are so sharp, they are like cornered rats. And predictably, they act like it.”
UPDATE: Joe J. writes to say that Lincoln cultists remind him of “Holocaust deniers.”
