The Big Bad Wolf.
Executive Mansion,
Washington, August 22, 1862.
Hon. Horace Greeley:
Dear Sir.
I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be "the Union as it was." If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. . . .
Yours,
A. Lincoln.

What does that have to do with Ron Paul's endorsement of the confederate politics in todays worlds and omitting the fact that not all men were free in that time frame?
Ron Paul lives now in the year 2013, he wants to go back to politics that were based on social locations that situationally determined rights or no rights of others.
Lincoln is not hear today to address current social construct.
You are a lying sack of shit. Ron Paul has never uttered those statements.

Are you kidding?
That's his whole schtick.
