1. The South succeeded peacefully and then peacefully fired on Fort Sumter.

I don't know if he's aware of how many Latinos there are in Southern Florida, given his objection to Texas.

I think though Reagan is too dull - Reagansylvania would be better.

10. I like the idea of Gansylvania and Reag Republic better.

Because you just know those morons would divide themselves further over who's more conservative than the other if that were to ever happen.

2. I'll help build the wall n/t

3. On second thought, Abe....

I've adored Abe Lincoln since about third grade. Ending slavery was more than worthwhile. Taking back the Southern states, maybe not.

Sorry, DUers who live in red states. I love you, but I don't love the redness of your state That's all I'm saying.

4. he couldn't have really ended slavery and let the south go, it was all tied together.

[merrily]

6. Good thing he isn't reading my post.

And it's not 1863.

Geez. I thought I was too literal.

7. wait. then -- what year is it?

8. Didn't you see the Zombie Lincoln film?

9. no, but i did just see a long news story about a new yorker who was a slave for 12 years.

12. Redness of states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey is just as bad.

Rural vs. the rest of the country is our problem..not South versus the rest.

16. I lived in NJ but before Christie. It's not anywhere near as red as Alabama.

I don't think we have only one problem.

5. If we still had phone booths he could rent one to hold the convention.

11. Even though Reagan was from Illinois.....the home of *Abe Lincoln*.

Oh, the historical irony.

13. A lot of idiots and half-wits from both sides of the aisle seem to agree with this buffoon.

14. This actually would not be a bad idea

As long as there's free (one-way) travel for a short period of time so the Christian right can move and the sane people can get out.

Contain the wingnuts, I like it.

15. Oh, don't stop at calling the country Reagan.

Rename every town, street, school, and body of water. Heck, replace every proper noun with Reagan. And then they can all have a grand old time Reaganing themselves.
