Remind far-Right Republicans from the states which have launched and signed, here, petitions to secede in the wake of President Obama's decisive re-election, that their so cavalierly doing profoundly dishonors the memory of the three-quarter-million men -- and Republican president Abraham Lincoln, too -- who gave their last full measure of devotion for the imperative of preventing the disintegration of the Union during the American Civil War... the divisive tentacles of which extend to affect us, still.
May they thoughtfully read Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, which still-relevantly prays the "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Seek them, not, the confederacy of poverty and self-destruction for which their petitions insensibly yearn.
