History Lesson For Michelle Bachman

2011-07-02 | Filed Under SteveG's Posts |

In his blog Grasping Reality with Both Hands: Fair, Balanced, and Reality-Based: The Semi-Daily Journal of Economist Brad DeLong, Brad Delong offers a history lesson for Michell Bachman.

He ends with the statement:

Ms Bachmann can easily correct the record, and sound smart to boot, by insisting on a distinction between those founders who really did fight tirelessly to end slavery and those who fought tirelessly to tilt the young country’s balance of power toward states filled with human chattel who could not vote. And she ought to stop name-checking John Quincy Adams and start agitating for the eternal glory of John Jay. Or Gouverneur Morris. He had a peg leg.
