or better yet, just ABOLISH the holiday celebrating the country's chief WAR CRIMINAL & TYRANT.

Congress is not in a position to dictate to the states what holidays they must observe and what holidays they cannot. So if states like Mississippi choose to make Jefferson Davis's Birthday a state holiday then they are free to do so, and nobody can force them to abolish it.

no argument from me.

each state should do EXACTLY as it sees fit. the !@#$%^&*! federal government should STAY OUT of the state's affairs.

if i were running the government of WVA (and i'm NOT!) i'd ABOLISH the "lincoln holiday".

he belongs "up north" where he has so many WORSHIPERS.

States Rights, Non? Lots of folks slinging mud on this thread, but this fact has escaped them!

Not all Dems think ill of Lincoln either (as mentioned on this thread by others) - that Obama guy was quick to associate himself with Lincoln at the DNC primaries.
