War Drums for Syria?

- Ron Paul -

Classic Orwellian re-write of history. Lincoln was willing to bend over backwards to avoid war, saying nothing as President Elect to inflame the South, willing to keep the status quo thinking slavery would eventually die out. The South was not so willing, wishing to expand slavery into the newly created States - a violation of the Missouri Compromise.

It was the South that initiated violence by attacking Fort Sumter. That attack, without provocation, was an act of insurrection. Denying that fact places one in the category of a flake.

This rewrite of history is currently being pushed by Lew Rockwell, Tom DiLorenzo -- and Ron Paul -- to de-centralize America to the individual level, each man a judge, jury, and executioner. What, then, resolves disputes? Private armies because no larger social and impartial organization would be allowed to exist. Welcome to Ron Paul's universe.

Ron Paul's hero is Lysander Spooner (whose articles repeatedly appear on his various websites). Spooner's most famous quote is: "The Constitution is unfit to exist." So, to return to the article, any comment by Ron Paul decrying any American war cannot be taken seriously.
