Entry: The Limits of Lincoln Bashing Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_limits_of_lincoln_bashing#24244 Post contents: My chief complaint about the Jaffa-led Lincoln Cult is that it joins its idol in distorting the nature of the American Constitution. Lincoln joined John Marshall in asserting that the Constitution wasratified by one American people rather than 13 sovereign states, which would have made secession impossible, and Jaffa, et al., insist that this is true. As I demonstrate irrefutably in _Virginia's American Revolution..._, ch. 3, it just ain't so. The fact that the Jeffersonian account of ratification comports with reality has cosmic meaning for the American regime. Sent at: 2008 07 06
