Wow, I unsubscribed because they tended to be too statist for my tastes. Bashing the northern tyrant lincoln deserves signing up again to give them another chance

And you've just uncoverd a MAJOR inconsistency on their part. Statist today, but NOT for the past? If it is good today as far as they are concerned, why not for then?

Thanks billbears. The story is posted here

Intersting they noted Hamilton's opposition:

noted in Federalist No. 81 that waging war against the states "would be altogether forced and unwarranted." At the Constitutional Convention, Hamilton argued, "Can any reasonable man be well disposed toward a government which makes war and carnage the only means of supporting itself?"

The FR author's rebuttal hardly makes the case. As noted in the Patriot piece, "Cultural myth, after all, can cloud historical truth."
