Will GOP choose Berlin, NH or Berlin, Germany?

Sometimes you really can’t make this stuff up. The recent political news out of Berlin, New Hampshire was pretty eye opening. To think that a former US Ambassador and Governor of South Carolina would not know the reasons for the start of the US Civil War is pretty mind boggling. She obviously never went to Charleston, SC, where the first shots of the Civil War rang out. She must have forgotten that SC was the first state to secede from the Union/United States. She must not have visited downtown Charleston, where a tourist draw is the site of a former slave market.

All you have to do is turn around and look across the Cooper River and you can see Fort Sumter, where the first shots rang out. Not far from the “Old Slave Mart” is Gadsden Street. Christopher Gadsden is the namesake of the Gadsden Flag, that the Koch network/AFP backed Tea Party Movement used as a symbol and has been joined with the Confederate Flag at alt-right rallies, so “real Americans” can “own the libs.”

It is no wonder that the Koch network/AFP is now supporting Nikki. She also must have forgotten that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, and Republicans used to be proud of that, but not so much now it would seem. President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed the slaves. That must have been the “role of government” or “how government was going to run” that Nikki was alluding to. Perhaps if Nikki is elected to the White House, she can repeal the Emancipation Proclamation, since it was merely an executive order. Her twisted/nonsensical logic is beginning to achieve parity with the likes of Sarah Palin at this point.

What a choice NH Republicans have. Will they pick someone not understanding the US history of slavery in Berlin, NH or someone who is parroting the fascist talking points out of WW2 era Berlin, Germany, who wants to be a dictator.
