1. "The Party of Lincoln" died in 1877 when the Republicans sold out african americans to
get Hayes in.

3. What would Lincoln say?
If he were alive today, I betcha he'd say he doesn't recognize the Republican Party, that he's leaving the Republican Party because they have left him.

2. That's an enormous transformation...
Remember: This party was founded by a bisexual liberator of African-American slaves who corresponded occasionally with Karl Marx.

Martin Luther King Jr was a Republican, and a conservative one, they claim, when they're trying to court the African-American vote.

(Bill Bennett often talks about the "conservative legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King.")
