21. Isn't it funny that the self-described party of Lincoln wants to break up the Union?

Didn’t Lincoln fight a war that was partly over that? If I’m not mistaken, he was fighting to keep the union together, but I’m a little fuzzy on my history.

Texas and the southern states represent the worst things that this county has to offer. It wouldn’t hurt my feelings one bit to see them leave.
