Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) says South Carolina has a problem with Abraham Lincoln

Apparently the Republican Senator from South Carolina says his state still hasn't "gotten over" President Abraham Lincoln, and that's why they don't do Lincoln Day dinners in South Carolina.

Well perhaps it's time for the Republican party to stand up for the president who freed the slaves and stopped our country from cleaving in two. Not to mention, it's also time for the south to get over the Civil War. What is the education system like down there - one big southern madrassa where all you learn is how evil President Lincoln was for forcing you to remain Americans?

I often feel like so many of our problems would be solved as a nation if the GOP would stop pandering to how much we should hate each other.
