    Haley blaming Lincoln for the Civil War should end any debate about her fitness for office. This is pretty close to saying, basically, slavery should be legal.

      Either a) she knows what really happened, but is lying because she considers the bases approval more important than reality or b) she’s a fucking moron.

      Yeah, I mean blaming Lincoln for the civil war and then claiming to be the party of Lincoln. Seems like that would be a little cognitive dissonance right there wouldn’t it?
