get over it

“Remember, this is a state that started the Civil War.”
–SC GOP Chair Katon Dawson, on not allowing FL to leapfrog SC’s primary, Washington Times

Seriously, people… it was the Civil War. Get over it. Just because another southern state is considering something along the same lines does NOT mean that you should always reflect on the how you started something first.

…By the way South Carolina, you fired the first shot, yes. But, let’s not get too hasty. You took the glory away from Alabama when you seceeded… it was Alabama’s idea in the first place.

…And, let me also remind those not as informed, the Civil War was not a racial or slavery-based decision. It was a matter of constitutionality of what the Union was trying to do.

If only people would learn their history, and make decisions based on it, instead of trying to follow it or recreating it. I’m talking to you, South Carolina.
