And we've got a Communist In Chief for Lincoln's stupidity.

I suspect we'd have had a lot worse by now if it not for Lincoln's skill, wisdom and dedication to the Constitution.

ROTFLMAO!! Good jokes are always appreciated. Nothing like a good laugh:)

I'll let your hero answer for me:

Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and to form one that suits them better. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people that can, may make their own of such territory as they inhabit. More than this, a majority of any portion of such people may revolutionize, putting down a minority intermingling with or near them who oppose their movement.
