So am I. It's all about liberty.

IMO I think we should burn Lincoln Memorial to ground
I'm glad you said it was your opinion, because advocating the destruction of anybody else's property, private or public, is frowned upon here.

Quote:
because he had committed a genocide on southern by declaring war against them.
Again, only your opinion. You need to show that he committed genocide with facts. Also, he didn't declare war. That would have implied admitting they were a separate country. He "called for volunteers to put down a rebellion", and then only after they fired the first shot. This has all been covered before. You should read the thread sometime.

Quote:
The southern states had the right to secede the union as stated in COTUS.
This too is a matter of opinion. whether the States have the right to seceed has been argued since some New England States talked about it in 1812. If the best scholars and experts in the country don't agree, you claiming it doesn't make it so.

Also, do you know how to spell "Constitution"? I'm sure you do, but I have a strong distaste for the new anagrams: POTUS, SCOTUS and now COTUS are to me cheap and easy ways to not have to actually type something. It's not wrong, but it certainly is lazy.

But that's just my opinion.

The CSA flag should remind us of what Lincoln did to us and prevent that ever to happen again.
What Lincoln did to you? You weren't even around then, and neither was I. If you're going to take that attitude though, what about what "you" did to countless people who should have been free to live their own lives? I include myself in that statement, because my great-great-grandfather was a slave-owner.
