Virginia lawmakers killed legislation today that would have made Virginia part of the national commemoration of Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday. . . . Robert Lamb of Richmond, a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, told the committee that Lincoln ... quote ... "sent armies into Virginia to lay waste to our land." *** I guess "with malice toward none" doesn't cut it any longer. Do I hear anyone saying "Get over it"?
