Buchal....yes, Lincoln was not as “great” as people made him out to be. He was the first truly American “big government” politician.
Even more telling is that Communists adore Lincoln, for years many “Lincoln/Lenin” rallies were held in many socialist and communist countries.
And, of course, Lincoln’s goal was to preserve the union....not to free slaves. His famous quote “If I can preserve the Union without ending slavery...I would do so...”
Although I do not think Paul is correct that the North should have bought the South’s slaves.....many of the Prohibitionists were racists themselves....they wanted mainly to keep blacks out of the new territories....although his comments sure do bring out the Bat-Sewage Nuttiness of the few Liberal RINOs who totally hate Ron Paul.....
“Although I do not think Paul is correct that the North should have bought the South’s slaves.”
The South required slaves for their economy and they would have scoffed at the very idea.
Ron Paul is a loony tune.
