Neocons Are Unhinged

- Tom DiLorenzo - lewRockwell

As you appear to be new to this forum so it would be wise to read more of Jim C's posts before coming to his defense. While his criticisms of DiLorenzo may not on every occasion be personal they most certainly are off topic. This is the major issue with his posts, they derail the discussion with useless rants. That said, he does generally attack anyone that would disagree with him personally. The sort of thing an internet troll would do.

Your statement about the abolishment of slavery out weighing all of Lincolns other criminal acts can and has been hotly debated. Does abolishing slavery outweight going to war because of a loss of revenue and control with the result of 10’s of thousands of civilians and service men being killed? Does that one act outweigh breaking so many other laws? Lincoln could have stopped slavery without going to war but he didn’t and this will always hang over the man’s reputation. Had his intention for going to war been the abolishment of slavery then his intentions would have surfaced prior to the war with actions that would have started the process to eliminate this horrendous crime in the north. The fact remains that Lincoln could have saved the lives of countless slaves as well as the lives of those that were killed in the war if he would have been a man with the kind of character and conviction many like Jim C wants us to believe he was.

Was the south really wrong for firing the first shot? Let’s use school children here as a comparison. If a child is bullied but never physically and the child finally reaches a point where the aggression can no longer be tolerated so they then beat the aggressors to a pulp is the child really guilty of attacking the others? This is a common trick used by Lincoln and every US president in recent memory. Right now what the US is doing with Iran is yet another example of this tactic. It is also heavily leveraged by Jim C, hence my branding him as an internet troll. A description that fits him perfectly.

If DiLorenzo has an agenda that he has not yet made us aware of then let us critique it when he does expose it.

Beginning of the headline :When Obama went before the United Nations on September 12, 2012 to declare that the Syrian regime "must end" and threatened U.S. military intervention to achieve that end he did not cite the U.S. Constitution as his authority. No American president ever does when threatening military intervention. Instead, he invoked the rhetoric of Abraham Lincoln or what the late Professor Mel Bradford called ... Read More
