The Great Convergence

It's interesting to see this group of people united around the common cause of proving that Abraham Lincoln was history's greatest monster. Now, each of them - libertarians, neo-confederates, Moonies - may on the surface have their own reasons, but in the end it's probably all the same. Anyway, just a couple of quick notes on a few of the participants. More as I take the time to look them up.

The conference is sponsored by Lew Rockwell, a libertarian seemingly more concerned with the federal government's attempt to stop the states from infringing on individual liberty than individual liberty itself.

Attendees include Paul Gottfried, Professor of Humanities at Elizabethtown College, who just wrote a lovely article for Insight Magazine in praise of the Reverend Moon. Paul's got some whiny issues, too.

Anyway, there are some more entertaining names in there which I'll get to when I have the time...
