    Snopes is a leftist site. No credibility.

    Nope, honest and accurate.

    Yes, nearly everything you post is cringe-worthy.

    The only reason someone attacks the source is because they lack the ability to discuss the substance.

    Yes, your cringe-worthy statements likely hurt a lot.

    No durvasa, you are showing that you are biased and part of the right-wing propaganda machine which needs to label facts as "liberal bias" I am really disappointed as I did not realize how biased you are.

    I thought the sarcasm was obvious. I like Snopes.

    Nope - I didn't realize you were being sarcastic. Afterall I have only seen conservative positions lately from ya so I thought you might have gone native

    I don't think that defending the first amendment or believing people shouldn't be silenced for expressing unpopular or even offensive views is a "conservative" position. I consider that liberal. Always have.

    I think defending sexism in the work place and the right for people to intimidate people is not liberal nor American

    Did the alt-left try to blow up a statue in Hermann Park?

    I wouldn't exactly call Lincoln an "example to be aspired to" unless you are referring strictly to his strong leadership during the Civil War. The whole " Great Emancipator" title is a tad exaggerated. There were some very practical reasons his administration changed course in regards to its slavery policy , namely to keep Britain out of the war and to keep the CSA from being recognized by European powers, and there is no evidence to suggest he viewed blacks as equal to himself.

    There were certainly worse men in his time period however.
