 enlightened and ignorant, willfully ignorant Democrat. It's a picture of the birthplace of the Republican Party. March 20th, 1854, the Republican, not the Repelican, the Republican Party of the United States was founded in a schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin, where I have been. I don't know why I missed this, but I've been there. Purpose, to counter the Democrats' plans to expand slavery in America.
