I remember well what some of the hierarchy of the Lincoln Project said about Obama for 8 years.
The name they picked is revealing enough. The Republican Party began in the 1854 as The Liberal Party" in the U.S. Lincoln, a Liberal, was their first elected president. The Republican Party had a Liberal wing well into the 1960s, and last led by Thomas Dewey. It was Nixon’s ‘Southern Strategy’ in 1968 that converted conservatives in the South to the GOP. Imagine the South supporting ‘the party of Lincoln’. The joke is on them.
If Lincoln were president today Republican/conservatives would impeach him.
And the leaders of this project, all genuine conservatives, know that truth. Hypocrisy is a requirement to be a conservative. They need to be used and then discarded. But always with a watchful eye.
Some really, really excellent work in this speech. Lincoln truly was a genius.
