Ron Paul, who wants to be President of the United States, gives a speech in front of the Confederate flag, detailing how the South was right and the North was wrong.
Oh, and the war wasn't about slavery at all, but about those pesky, lil'ol States' Rights. (Sound familiar now?) In PaulWorld, there would be no Civil War (something that was unconstitutional in his mind). Instead, at some date and time, the US Government would agree to "bail out" the Southern slaveowners, by "buying" all the slaves they owned and then freeing them. Really.
Here's the man whom many Progressives and much of the Professional Left are pushing at us for the wedge issues of pot and bringing home the troops. There's so much more he encompasses:-
According to Paul, all our troubles started with honest Abe Lincoln and his fighting a war using slavery as a mask for wanting to create a monolithic, centralised government.
If you are so disgusted by the blatant display of race-baiting being practiced by Newt Gingrich, but if you turn a blind eye to Ron Paul's obvious racism and his back-to-the-future domestic social policy, please refrain from referring to yourself either as a Progressive or a Liberal. You are neither.

This is what Alexander H. Stephens, VP of the Confederate States, is quoted as having said about the Confederate constitution:
ReplyDelete"The new constitution [Confederate] has put to rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution African slavery as it exists amongst us, the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution. Jefferson in his forecast, had anticipated this, as the 'rock upon which the old Union would split.' He was right. What was conjecture with him, is now a realized fact.
[Our] foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition."
Savannah Republican, March 21, 1861
