>The extraordinary lack of coverage of Ron Paul  - Eric de Carbonnel - Market Skeptics
R:

Libertarians have traditionally believed in limited government, usually limited to the retalitory use of force against domestic criminals and foreign agression. That Paul would not interfer in the violation of individual rights (committed by a State against its inhabitants -- implied use of force to collect heathcare payments) puts him more in the anachist's camp.

Lincoln believed that slavery would slowly disappear and was resigned to the fact -- given the Missouri Comprise of 1820. The South was not and pushed it's repeal by the Kansas-Nebraska of 1854 allowing for the expansion of slavery. Lincoln, in his own words, was "awoken from his dogmatic slumber" and re-entered politics. This issue was the cornerstone of the famous Lincoln/Douglas debates. The Supreme Court's ruling in the Dred Scott 1857 decision sanctioning the return of escaped slaves to their "masters" further convinced Lincoln that the South was intent on expansion, not containment in a live and let live situation. And he was frightened and incensed that such and expansion would be forcoming. Slavery was not going quietly into that good night as he had hoped.

Sadly, Ron Paul would have supported Dred Scott and not lifted a finger to prevent it's implementation. Paul would have allowed the South to leave the Union, slaves escaping to North thereafter being sent back.

Ron Paul might make a great economist, not a great President.

Indeed, the results of that hokey quadrennial exercise in corn-dog politics was used to talk up Michelle Bachmann’s legitimacy... Lire la suite
