Rand Paul, Jack Hunter, and All That

I cringe every time libertarianism is associated with the Confederate States of America. Read Jeff Hummel's Emancipating Slaves, Enslaving Free Men to see why you should too.

Rand Paul has an astoundingly political tin ear.

What do you think of Dilorenzo's work on the civil war and Lincoln?

I have not read them, but a Civil War scholar whom I trust implicitly advises that they are agenda-driven shoddy pieces of work -- not real works of history. I've read several reviews and accounts which support that judgment.
