I will look to see if I can find that back issue, although I am seriously doubtful, especially considering the organizations Prokopowicz has belonged to in the past.
...as if I hadn't seen that before???
Nothing you can say would make me support the polemicist, DiLorenzo. As far as I am concerned he is entirely disreputable. His work is superficial and lacks any greater understanding of the pre-civil war political situation, any understanding of the Founder's era, lacks an understanding of the Constitution and is wholly free of any understanding of the social mores and feelings of the common American of the era.
In short, Dilorenzo is an utter failure.
I have read a lot of what he has written and at first was excited by his works.... until I began to check his points out with other history. And I am NOT talking just about other writers. (I own the entire 8 vol set of Lincoln's writing, for instance) I have no respect for Dilorenzo at all. I also disagree with the "Jaffaites" who imagine Lincoln walked on water, by the way.
What a laugh. DiLorenzo's trying to prove that tariffs are unconstitutional? What does he suppose the line, "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises" in the Constitution means?
