  1. These people are a terrible embarrassment to our country. And yet they call themselves “educated” because they went to a prestigious school and have a half dozen honorary degrees hanging on their “Atta” walls.

    Lincoln gave the address only a few months at the end of the war. Democrats being who they are and have always been, couldn’t come to terms even with the decisiveness of the defeat of war, incited a well-known actor to murder Lincoln.

Why are you in jail?” The Lincoln-lookalike replied, “I got arrested for robbing convenience stores and beating up homosexuals”. The guy said, “Wow, that’s just crazy – how did all this get started, anyway?”
