>Neocons Are Unhinged  - Tom DiLorenzo - lewRockwell
And once again DiLorenzo attacks Lincoln. DiLorenzo sees NO reason why the government ought to intervene in ANY state affair -- even if those affairs include the violation of individual rights, like Slavery.

He completely ignores, like other commentators here, that the South initiated violence against the North. For the brain dead like Hart, that means they STARTED the war. According to DiLorenzo Lincoln still had no right to defend the nation. DiLorenzo doesn't believe in the concept of a Nation. He is of the Rockwell ilk: both lean toward anarchy as an ideal. Every man for himself and every man his own arbiter of right and wrong, of justice. Such a society will devolve into fighting clans as it has in Somalia. I don't even think DiLorenzo believes that an objective ethic exists that would allow an objective rule of law. If someone wants to enslave another, then fine, no one has the moral authority to prevent it.

Lincoln believed he had that moral authority -- and THAT is the real reason for DiLorenzo's hatred of Lincoln, which has nothing to do with habeas corpus or 'neocon aggression'.
