"Makes it odd that the "Paleocons" who claim to be "sons of the South" embrace the economic philosophy so popular with Lincoln and Seward, yet despised by their ancestors."

Let me guess....you're also an "open borders" and "illegal alien amnesty" proponent?

1. Support strict enforcement of existing immigration laws.

2. Oppose any plan to offer amnesty to illegals.

3. Support strictly regulated guest worker program, similar to the bracero program we had in the 1940s and 1950s. That way, the guys work for a few years, send the money home to their families and then leave.

4. Like John Calhoun and George Wallace (and unlike those clowns Pat the Ultramontanist and Sam Francis) I support free trade with all nations. I am VEHEMENTLY OPPOSED, however to a. trade with countries that refuse to allow similar openness to their respective national markets. and b. trade in goods related to national security that may benefit potential adversaries.

Again, why have all the Southrons (as opposed to Southern Gentleman like Lee) embrace 19th Century Yankee economics that only served to retard development in the south. It is no coincidence that the rise of open markets worldwide after WWII has been in tandem with the development of the South from a depressed economic backwater to one of the most dynamic economic regions of the USA.
