I take back my invitation. You will not be welcomed. Stay up there in the land of commies. And remember, the repubicans of that day are the democrats of today.
And one other thing, the best thing that happened to America at that time was the hole put in Lincoln’s head. Too bad it didn’t happen earlier. Does that get your dander up?
