Although for twenty years Murray Rothbard’s body lies a-mouldering in the grave, his truth goes marching on.
The Union was taken, by its Northern worshipers, from a contractual institution that can either be cleaved to or scrapped, and turned into a divinized entity, which must be worshipped, and which must be permanent, unquestioned, all-powerful. There is no heresy greater, nor political theory more pernicious, than sacralizing the secular. But this monstrous process is precisely what happened when Abraham Lincoln and his northern colleagues made a god out of the Union. If the British forces fought for bad King George, the Union armies pillaged and murdered on behalf of this pagan idol, this “Union,” this Moloch that demanded terrible human sacrifice to sustain its power and its glory.
For in this War Between the States, the South may have fought for its sacred honor, but the Northern war was the very opposite of honorable.

Well said sir.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry he isn't with us anymore, but feel better for him to have not lived to see these days. I feel the same for my mother. This anti-Confederate stuff would have killed her. Which reminds me of her words from before which I shall now post. Thanks.
