I am saying two things:

1) "the Palestinians are having their native lands expropriated by war and legislation in much the same manner as the American Indians in the first half of the nineteenth century."

2) "that's something that the Editorial Board of the New York Times could actually do something about right away, instead of unfairly criticizing President Abraham Lincoln - the man who saved the institution of democracy for the world."

The following is my quote from my 04-21-2020 11:14 PM post:

How about the Palestinians who are having their native lands expropriated by war and legislation in much the same manner as the American Indians in the first half of the nineteenth century (BEFORE Abraham Lincoln became President)? Now, that's something that the Editorial Board of the New York Times could actually do something about right away, instead of unfairly criticizing President Abraham Lincoln - the man who saved the institution of democracy for the world.

You also said: "The NY Times gave Lincoln a gentle kiss on the lips."

You must be used to being "kissed on the lips" by freight trains.

David,

You're cheating now by spinning what I said and only using a portion, so I'm not going to play anymore, after I answer your statement:

"You must be used to being "kissed on the lips" by freight trains."

You betcha! With the right woman at the throttle of that freight car hauler a kiss can be a powerful, and gentle, ride.

I'm done, you win.
