Copperheads Always With US

Jesus said that we'd always have the "poor" with us. In the US, we'll always have the Copperheads--though I prefer one of their other names---the Butternuts. (Sounds like a soft rock band.)

Their newspaper back during the Civil Was was the Chicago Times. Today, it's the New York Times. Basically, the same play--with different actors.

In the immortal words of Kurt Vonnegut (may he R.I.P.): And so it goes.
