Interview with Tom Dilorenzo Part 1

My guest was Dr.Thomas Dilorenzo, the author or co-author of a dozen books, including The Real Lincoln, How Capitalism Saved America, and Lincoln Unmasked: What You're Not Supposed to Know About Dishonest Abe.

He is a professor of economics, Loyola College in Maryland and he has a Ph.D. in Economics from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (1979). Dr. Dilorenzo is the author of over 75 articles in peer-reviewed academic economics journals and he is also published in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, Barron's, and many other newspapers and magazines. He is a member of the senior faculty of the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama.

Dr. Dilorenzo and I will be discussing his books on Lincoln as well as the attacks made on Ron Paul for his recent comments on Meet the Press regarding the American Civil War. Tune in if you want to hear real history instead of the statist pablum dumped on you during your years in government schools.

Ilana Mercer, the great classical liberal writer and thinker routinely joins the show with her insightful analysis of current events.

Hey, check out my Ron Paul vs Lincoln video. If you don't believe in secession, then you believe in slavery, for you are for enslaving people to a government that they want no part of:

@Revere1776 Not a court historian like Robert Remini,Doris Kearns Goodwin, and the rest.

@SouthernFriedHoney I can't believe anyone could be so shallow and ignorant of their own humanity to say something like "Slaves were naturally docile by nature..."

[quemacha]

@SouthernFriedHoney

Yes, those slaves would be offered salvation in Africa as there were already missionaries there. Slave owners frequently believed their slaves didn't have souls. Assuming you are female and you have a husband, would he be all right with you and your children taking another man's surname, and being under that other man's authority, instead of your husband's authority? That is precisely what slavery did to black men, deny them headship of their families.

[CaptBeauregards]

All about saving a UNION if the just-elected Liberals can run things according to their socialist ideologies!

[SouthernFriedHoney]

Slaves were naturally docile by nature - and content with being slaves. They were well taken care of.

Only the North's evil unChristian interference and lies caused the problem.

[Barklord]

That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever read. Every one of those slaves would have taken their freedom over slavery any day. They didn't even think they needed to be saved by jesus until they were corrupted by slave theology.

[SouthernFriedHoney]

Lincoln was not a Christian man.

The South had slavery yes but most slave owners were good to their slaves. Almost all slaves learned about Jesus, and were offered eternal salvation.

Would those slaves be offered salvation in Africa?

God bless Thomas Dilorenzo
