Archeology BIG find
A group of scientists funded by Ruppert Murdock have discovered, beneath a corn field in Ilinois, a fully intact log cabin. Believed to be that shared by Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan in their childhood.

1. Clearly a fabrication

Lincoln didnt move to Illinois until 1830, by which time he was 21, not in his childhood. Until then he lived in Kentucky - where he was born - and then Indiana.

2. Visit New Salem, Illinois
That's where Lincoln moved to and lived in the 1830...when he studied law. Look at that village and you tell me there aren't any log cabins there. No fabrication, just exageration...nothing new in American politics.

There's also the Raygun boyhood home in Dixon...a dumpy place that right now has turned into a religious wingnut shrine. They showed on one of the local stations the crosses and prayer vigils being held outside the place. Sheesh.

Isn't idol worshiping against Christian doctrine?

3. So it was Reagan that split all those rails for the old rail splitter.
He probably took over for Grant when he was drunk a Gettysburg.

4. They were the orginal...
The original Log Cabin Republicans. Shared that cabin long after childhood, my friend.

Nah, couldn't be true. Reagan was clearly of divine origin, but his childhood lasted his whole life.
