Ignoring all of American history, including the long history of the belief in the right of secession that I document in The Real Lincoln, Wanniski argues in fine Clintonian fashion that Lincoln only said that a people can "TRY" to secede "IF THEY HAVE THE POWER."
DiLorenzo still can't comprehend the difference between the natural right to revolution when faced with intolerable oppression with some mythical legal right to secession at will (i.e. ignore the law and Constitution because you feel like it.) Government and nations are not child’s games. You don’t have a right to take your ball and go home because the other kids won’t play the way you want to.
I'll bet DiLorenzo got his butt whooped a lot as a kid.
