Good old Greg had this to say about ignorance of historic events:
"No, not a third party..." Excuse me, the #GOP rose from the ashes of a failed Whig party. Know your history. #tcot #ocra

Admirable, yes. History is important.
But...
On two occasions, Greg had this to say about Abraham Lincoln:
Do you want to know where exec orders originated? They started under Lincoln. And that practice continues through this day. #tcot #ocra

@adam4004 you know all the executive orders we live with right now? That system was started by Lincoln and never ended.

That's simply not true. Hell, that's note even remotely close to being accurate.
The first executive order was issued by George Washington in 1789. Every president since then has also issued executive orders.
Why do people continue to look up to this man? He is a carnival barker and a snake oil salesman rolled into one annoying and pathetic package.
