Ron Paul on Lincoln the Imperialist (and the Civil War as an Unnecessary War)

HERE . I’m not posting this to diss Paul or rouse up West Coast Straussians or even Mr. Ceaser. I’m just saying that his “libertarian worldview” may not share much in common with the “progressive libertarianism” of our bourgoeis bohemians or even our Straussians. Someone might ask, of course, whether it’s inconsistent that Ron is so pro-life while apparently being relatively pro-choice on slavery.
