He wasn't an abolitionist until he had to make an excuse to keep fighting the South. And the Emancipation Proclamation didn't actually do anything.
From my understanding, what the Emancipation Proclamation did was it freed all of the slaves in the Confederate States, but not in the states that had slavery but didn't secede.
Exactly, Lincoln was interested i the Union not Freedom of Slaves.
Do you have any form of objective reasoning or fact to back up such an enormous statement?
Look around you, don't tell me America is a democrary.
It's not. It's a Federal Presidential Constitutional Republic.
That is based on democratic principles. And if you don't use democracy in the sense of pure democracy but simply use the literal defintion "People Rule", Then
If you live with such a cynical view, I really see no point in even attempting to convince you of anything.
Well I'm a christian so my view of the world is seen much different.
So am I, and I see no reason to conclude that every nation is evil. Many Nations have obviously done much that is very good. Such as the USA.
America has been as good a bastion of freedom and democracy as has ever existed in this world. As far as personal freedoms go it is most likely the best country, or at very least one of the best, in the entire world.
No, America's record is not perfect. Their are stains, and black marks, as in the history of all nations, but also great records of courage, and freedom, and compassion, and mercy, and heroism.

I am too, and while I recognize there is evil and sin in the world, that doesn't make everything inherently evil.

Look around you, don't tell me America is a democrary.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary: "a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections."
By this definition, yes, America is a democracy. Its specific form is that of a republic.

So you're saying America fought Japan over oil? If that's the case, how come we're getting our oil from OPEC and not our colonies in east Asia?
The Flying Tigers as a unit didn't exist until after the war started for us, so it's physically impossible for them to have fought Japan before we entered the war.
I didn't say it was over oil, Pearl Harbor was partly oil. I apologize, I had my facts wrong about the flying tigers.
...Explain your first sentence? I don't understand it.

Again, one of my three most-hated presidents along with FDR and Truman.
Why FDR, also I realized, actually Truman was opposed to the red scare, that was Joseph McCarthy, Roy Cohn, and Nixon mainly.
Because FDR was a hardline socialist who tried to illegally seize industries with quiet executive orders and put an entire race of US citizens in camps because of their ethnicity.
Truman was a hardline anti-communist who advocated actions against them that I don't even think were rational.

Yes, and that worries me. So far, though, they've only ever used that to capture foreign terrorists. You're still allowed to say whatever you want.
You've also conveniently ignored that I proved with facts that everything you said was a blatant lie. Do you have any response to that?
Its not a question of right or wrong, its opiion, Just because it isn't written nicely and white paper doesn't mean its not true.
You're allowed to say whatever you want, with the exception of threatening to assassinate people. The United States law says this and it is enforced and upheld by our courts. Plenty of people openly state they want to radically change America or call for violent overthrow, and very few if any of them have been jailed. You still have not brought anything objective to the table.

and didn't many say Rome was a great Christian Empire?

I am too, and while I recognize there is evil and sin in the world, that doesn't make everything inherently evil.
My view of Government is that they all are bad, none are right on everything and all are non christian, and if its not Christian its of the Devil, I'm not saying fight it, were told to not do so.

Technically, Yes, realistically not really anymore.
Why FDR, also I realized, actually Truman was opposed to the red scare, that was Joseph McCarthy, Roy Cohn, and Nixon mainly.
Because FDR was a hardline socialist who tried to illegally seize industries with quiet executive orders and put an entire race of US citizens in camps because of their ethnicity.

Truman didn't like the red scare though, also FDR and LBJ both have some very good and very bad things about them, without FDR's policies thigs might have been far worse, no Social Security without, something Trump wants to scrap.
