>Imperialism and Anti-Imperialism  - Tom DiLorenzo - Mises.org
Jim, seriously this is getting out of hand. How many times has this been discussed, that DiLorenzo wants to write about Lincoln and not the south with its many issues. You state, again "However, when it comes to the violations of individual rights under the southern slave system, DiLorenzo in article after article is strangely silent." Why do you chastise him for writing about Lincoln if that's what he wants to write about? Do you also frequent other forums wherein people write only about the disgusting actions of the south and chastise them for not also taking issue with Lincoln and his imperialistic ways? Get this through your head already, DiLorenzo wants to write about Lincoln, end of, no more, no less. If he ever decides to write about the south then that's what he'll do. But if he does will you then also rant on about how he's not writing about Lincoln??? He has chosen to write about Lincoln, others have chosen to write about the south. Don’t go after him for his choice of topic, that’s the authors right, to present a one sided (in your mind) discussion. Your right is to agree or disagree. If you disagree on the topic then please contribute to the discussion based on the topic at hand, dragging in extraneous stuff like slavery only takes the discussion off course and you look like an idiot for doing so.

I know you have a deep seated love for Lincoln and wish to avoid seeing anything in print that removes the shiny veneer his memory enjoys but the more drivel you keep throwing out every time DiLorenzo posts you come across as a desperate supporter without the ability to see the topic as it was presented. Ask yourself this, if you stopped protesting everything DiLorenzo writes would it really have any effect on Lincolns memory? Does the fact that you desperately protest every time he writes actually have a negative effect on Lincolns legacy? You may think you have a positive effect but you don’t. You come across as a propaganda machine and nothing more. You are seriously damaging the man’s legacy. If DiLorenzo were to ever write about how glorious the south was, slavery and all then by all means tear the man a new one, you won’t be the only one. In the meantime, please Jim C keep yourself focused on the topic. You’ll garner a lot more respect and might even enjoy being part of an actual discussion of the topic rather than be labeled with various names.

Beginning of the headline :For generations, American students have been taught that their government was a constitutional republic and, as such, is truly “exceptional.” So-called American exceptionalism is contrasted in the classroom first with the imperialistic British Empire from which the original colonists rebelled.
