Entry: On Lincoln-Bashing Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/on_lincoln_bashing#24932 Post contents: To Mr Richert: I am not denying that Lincoln used abstract universalistic rhetoric, but that this rhetoric does not logically lead to a commitment to global democracy (this is now the 2nd time I have written this!) In "The Heresy of Equality," Bradford argues that Lincoln's "gnostic" love of equality (using Voegelin's idea of "gnostic") MUST lead to revolutions at home and abroad. Sent at: 2008 07 24
