Read all about it here and here.
“I’m not a fan of secession,” Paul said. “I think the things he said about John Wilkes Booth are absolutely stupid. I think Lincoln was one of our greatest presidents. Do I think Lincoln was wrong is taking away the freedom of the press and the right of habeas corpus? Yeah.”
… “People are calling him a white supremacist,” Paul told me in his Senate office. “If I thought he was a white supremacist, he would be fired immediately. If I thought he would treat anybody on the color of their skin different than others, I’d fire him immediately.
“All I can say is, we have a zero tolerance policy for anybody who displays discriminatory behavior or belief in discriminating against people based on the color of their skin, their religion, their sexual orientation, anything like that,” Paul told me. “We won’t tolerate any of that, and I’ve seen no evidence of that.”
Note: Matt Parrott was clearly on to something in his article on Crank Cuckoldry.
Instead of influencing Rand Paul, Jack Hunter allowed Paul’s libertarian cause to cuckold his own cause, and he has now repudiated his former beliefs. Rand Paul hasn’t accomplished anything in the U.S. Senate either. The “welfare-warfare state” is stronger than it was before Rand Paul was elected and the civil liberties that libertarians claim to care so much have only been further eroded.
In 2016, Rand Paul will run for president as someone who thinks Lincoln “was one of our greatest presidents,” who is “not a fan of secession,” as someone who supports amnesty for illegal aliens, who has “zero tolerance policy” for “white supremacists,” and who believes that any attack on Israel is an attack on the United States.
The only difference between Rand Paul and Newt Gingrich is that Gingrich was never taken seriously on the Dissident Right. I would rather vote for an honest neocon who is transparently owned by Sheldon Adelson than a dissembling, flip flopping libertarian like Rand Paul who keeps “evolving” all over the place.
“the attack on Fort Sumter was a false flag set up by Lincoln’s operatives, because the overall sentiment of the North was that the South had a right to secede.”
Good point:
Equate 20th century wars of Pearl Harbor attack and 911.The majority favored neutrality. As usual, DC provoked the attack by any means and changed the course.
Rand Paul is a southerner.
Rand Paul is a Pennsylvania Yankee.
If the mere act of residing in Dixie conferred Southron nationality then we would have nothing to worry about from the several million Yankee colonists who are systematically replacing Southrons throughout Dixie.
Paul’s are no Southerners-Yankees at heart.
No fan of secession? He must be historically illiterate. What does he commemorate of the 4th of July- hot dogs and fireworks?

I respond:
The 4th of July was established as a holiday in 10th Century China to commemorate the invention of fireworks.
Abe Lincoln- tall, scrawny figure (sic pup)No Magnetic recording. His voice was like that of a scool boy.
