Well, he died on a Monday, no wonder he hates them.

A great book on Garfield and the assassination is Destiny of the Republic by Candice Millard.

Being on Freerepublic it’s easy to believe everyone is as informed and has common sense like you do. But the sad fact is most people are uniformed dummies.

Between Free Republic, Fox News, WND and Breitbart on the net; Fox News and OAN on the tube, I get severely jolted when catching the occasional MSM version of news and the shameless liberal bias they push in place of truth.

I was especially depressed to find the majority of my classmates (all in their 50s) solidly liberal and swallowing that swill as gospel. My reasonable logic has no effect except to garner accusations of racism and bigotry. And they wonder how their kids went wrong. (sigh)
