The Party Of Calhoun

Readers curious about the strange ideological drift of the Republican party since its birth (and especially since Goldwater) are urged to read the New Republic's cover story in the newest issue.  It is a lengthy read, but it is especially interesting on Calhoun, Buckley, George Wallace, and all the other characters who have transformed the party of Lincoln into the White Man's Party. [Who knew that Buckley's family for years wintered on their plantation in Camden, South Carolina?]  Click and enjoy.
