Oh, believe it.

Only white conservative bigots are supposed to have any choice in anything, according to these dumb confederates. Anything else goes against God’s will. //

Honestly - I know that there are overt bigots out there, but I seriously have a hard time understanding how anyone who denies being a racist can argue that the North use the war to “…literally, cancel out the whole concept of individual choice.”

The magnitude of selective reasoning required to come up with such a conclusion is astounding.

And here’s the thing. I’m willing to consider the possibility that Paul isn’t an overt racist - that he actually believes that the South was fighting the war in the name of individual choice. I’m not really sure which would be more offensive - that he could just be a hateful racist that’s trying to cover over his bigotry, or that he’s actually that capable of such god-awful reasoning.
