You admitted defeat when you started deflecting and creating “straw-man” arguments, ExNYer. Continue to deflect and stand by your latest "straw-man" topic, but you know the argument was never about Confederate victories and defeats. It remains, your POV was found faulty and wanting, ExNYer; even your own source says so. Own your failures, you pretentious bitch!

I pointed out that you made strawman arguments regarding Missouri and now all of a sudden you are talking about straw man arguments - even though you haven't actually pointed one out.
I told you to "own" your Confederate history and you immediately copied that phrase and told me to own my NY history, my English history, my Scottish history, my Irish history.
I have accused you of repeatedly changing the subject whenever things are going badly for you. Well you did it again
You tried to defend to the death your ridiculous claim that AG Bates - a man you clearly knew nothing about - was some constitutional scholar. When I pointed out he was a frontier lawyer who became famous as an abolitionist and got a political appointment from Lincoln, you dropped that point and started talking about"the argument was never about Confederate victories and defeats".
Where the fuck did THAT come from? I never said anything about "Confederate victories and defeats". Changing the subject again? Another straw man?
Are you going to start copying the term "incompetently" in your posts now? I noticed you are back to using "pretentious" again.
