Seems like, wherever Democrats are in the majority, they start talkin' succession.
Don't make us come up there and kick your asses. Again.
Update: Look, often times when someone refers to Republicans as "The Party of Lincoln", some smarty pants Democrat says "Actually, today's Republican party would be unrecognizable to President Lincoln."
That may or may not be true.
However, I believe that Lincoln would definitely recognize today's Democrats:
During the American Civil War (1861-1865), the Copperheads nominally favored the Union and strongly opposed the war, for which they blamed abolitionists, and they demanded immediate peace and resisted draft laws. They wanted Lincoln and the Republicans ousted from power, seeing the president as a tyrant who was destroying American republican values with his despotic and arbitrary actions.
