'People who say "the Civil War was about tariffs" should be distinguished from people who debate the stimulus package, or tax cuts, and categorized with birthers, truthers and assorted Holocaust-deniers.'

Funny how they can be so strongly opposed to taxation as an unfair imposition upon their liberties but they don't see what's wrong with slavery. I guess for them it's all about who gets to do the imposing.

They would be more honest if they tried to defend the rightness of slavery. Instead they pretend they are defending something else and that slavery has nothing to do with it.

Honesty is hard. Deep down we're all lizards.
