Entry: On Lincoln-Bashing Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/on_lincoln_bashing#24927 Post contents: If one portrays Lincoln as an abstract universalist who believes in natural rights for all human beings (as both Jaffa and Bradford did, in their respective studies of Abe's rhetoric), it is not a great leap to conclude that Lincoln was a global democrat. (Of course, this conclusion is based on L's rhetoric, not his actions, which do not reflect a commitment to global democracy.) Sent at: 2008 07 24
