RE: Fred Borch's Opinion of Lincoln
In actuality David I have a great respect for the truth, especially where Lincoln is concerned. That's why I have a hearty dislike for your child-like viewpoint about him. You prefer to make him a cardboard cutout of perfection while I prefer to see Lincoln as he really was, i.e., as a flawed human being capable of not only mistakes in judgement but omission as well. Feel free to continue to hold that view, but expect to be called on it as long as I am here.
Best
Rob
