Ron Paul Money Bomb May 5th, Marc Faber on the Non-Existent Gold Bubble, and a Few Tidbits on Honest Abe

Pretty good video, it is indeed time for Ron Paul to become president but it will be a very long, uphill battle.

Next up is Marc Faber on CNBC dismissing the notion that there is a gold bubble right now:

Thomas DiLorenzo has finally gotten around to responding to Krugman's claim that he is full of it.  Here are a few highlights from two Lewrockwell.com articles:

From "Paul Krugman's 'Civil War' Fantasies":

Krugman celebrates the victory of "a democratic nation" (the North) in his blog. But during the war the North was anything but "democratic": Lincoln illegally suspended the writ of Habeas Corpus and imprisoned tens of thousands of Northern political critics without any due process; shut down hundreds of opposition newspapers; deported Congressman Clement Vallandigham of Ohio for criticizing him; threatened to imprison Chief Justice Roger B. Taney for issuing the (correct) opinion that Lincoln’s suspension of Habeas Corpus was unconstitutional; censored all telegraphs; rigged elections; imprisoned duly elected members of the Maryland legislature along with Congressman Henry May of Baltimore and the mayor of Baltimore; illegally orchestrated the secession of West Virginia to give the Republican Party two more U.S. senators; confiscated firearms in the border states in violation of the Second Amendment; and committed a grand act of treason by invading the sovereign states of the South (Article 3, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution defines treason as "only" levying war against the states, or giving aid and comfort to their enemies).

And "Another Big Lincoln Lie Exposed":

I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.

Where is the outcry from Rev. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton when mainstream commentators espouse that Lincoln is their favorite president?  I guess there isn't much money to be made in telling the truth about Lincoln.
