I agree with David Smith – one socialistic party might be OK but not a socialistic duopoly offering the choice between the Bushcare/Romneycare vs. Obamacare. And THANKS for realizing (unlike Alan Keyes) that Ron Paul is the RINO and the Dole/Bush/McCain/Romney win IS the Republican Establishment. Those delusional types who think that small government is the “real” Republicanism is equivalent to those academic dreamers who talk about some utopian “true communism” that bears no resemblance to the Lenin/Stalin/Mao/Brezhnev dictatorships of the proletariat.

I knew something about the role of the northeastern Protestant-Yankee cosmic-lib abolitionists in Lincoln’s centralist coalition; this information about the Red ’48rs infestation is news to me. Most enlightening.

What an interesting passage from the book. Thank you, Mrs. Mercer.

It’s heartening to hear non-Southerners say these things. In spite of the comic book version of history that’s been out there for years, folks are starting to wake up to the real legacy of Centralizing Abe and his cohorts among the Radical Republicans (Thanks Miss Ilana, Dr. DiLorenzo, Dr. Woods, et al!). Would that Republicans were RINOs like Ron Paul, and not the heirs of Lincoln and his radical backers! Yes, I know the vast majority of the “conservative” electorate considers a RINO a liberal in conservative clothing. There’s a misnomer if there ever was one! I’m with Dr. Wilson in that I believe the end of the Republican party would be a blessing!

Lincoln, Republicans, and Marx…who would have thought they were connected!
Thank you for this insightful article! It’s an aspect of History that just isn’t –but should be–taught in schools.
