(“If Ron Paul succeeds in his “quest to undo the Party of Lincoln” it would be the greatest advance in freedom for Americans since the ending of slavery by the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1866.”) ~ Will Ron Paul Destroy the ‘Party of Lincoln’? by Thomas DiLorenzo
EXCERPT…
…..In one final burst of stupidity, Gerson concludes his essay be claiming that the U.S. entered World War II to save the European Jews from the Holocaust. Earth to Michael Gerson: The Holocaust happened; the U.S. government did not save the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis.
He makes this remarkably stupefying statement so that he can proclaim to his Washington Post audience that “Paul’s conception of liberty . . . would have freed the occupants of concentration camps from their dependency on liberating armies.
“Michael Gerson pretends that Ron Paul has invented out of thin air his own personal conceptions of “liberty.” Anyone who knows anything about Ron Paul – unlike the Michael Gersons of the world – understands why this is so absurd.
Ron Paul has for many decades been a serious student of the classical liberal tradition of European and American thought. He is extraordinarily well educated in the free-market economics tradition of the Austrian School of Economics, associated with such scholars as Ludwig von Mises, F.A. Hayek, Murray Rothbard, and Henry Hazlitt.
