What Americans Used To Know

- Tom DiLorenzo - lewRockwell

Vox:

The attacks against both of us, primarily me for supporting Lincoln and the North against Slavery and the South, and you -- for speaking your mind on other issues -- have been uncalled for. These articles have been posted by this site for debate, not unconditional acceptance.

Anyone call go back and see what bias DiLorenzo has against Lincoln and the North and also that of his supporters. He nitpicks at what Lincoln did wrong -- and there is much that he did do wrong (the draft, for one) -- and completely ignores the much greater evil of slavery, as many of his supporters do here as well. When facts cannot be supported, when reality is denied, is when name calling ensues by many here.

What riles me most about DiLorenzo and Lew Rockwell is what lurks behind their repeated Lincoln diatribes. It is not racism -- far worse: it is an attack on the concept of government itself, any level of government. By attacking Lincoln and extolling the right of State secession for ANY reason, they are in essence advocating anarchy -- since secession would logically ripple down to the individual level. And the concept of objective law thrown out the window.

Just yesterday, in the news, 10 counties in the State of Colorado are pushing legislation to secede. I'm sure DiLorenzo would applaud this. If that goes through nothing prevents groups within those counties from seceding as well.

That is where we are headed and that is my main concern with the DiLorenzos of the world.
