The Republican Reagan Epiphany
by Ilana Mercer on 09.09.11
“Southerners are extremely patriotic,” said Ann Coulter on Fox News Business, while explaining the phenomenon of a Southern Democrat (like Rick Perry), who has always been far more conservative than the northern Republican. “[Southern Democrats] were not going to remain with the party of George McGovern,” observed Coulter, who is, arguably, the Republican Party’s most powerful and most devoted pundit.
That’s a little deceptive. Is it at all possible that the much-maligned Southern Democrat has found it hard to join the party of Abraham Lincoln? Perish the thought!
Ann Coulter says, correctlyand at lastthat Ronald Reagan should not be held up as “the touchstone for every [other Republican] candidate.” If only Ms.Coulter was capable of arriving at a similar epiphany about Lincoln, but that would demand too much by way of philosophical integrity.
