Defense of Paul, Smackdown of Spectator

Tom Woods

"Well written, well researched, and the thesis put forth is well argued.... Woods has opened up an area of historical analysis that should invite further study."
-Journal of American History
"During these times that challenge our freedoms there is no one more qualified to make U.S. history relevant to the fight against big government than Thomas Woods."
-Barry Goldwater Jr.
Former Member of Congress
"I strongly recommend Woods's work."
-The Honorable Ron Paul,
U.S. House of Representatives
"Written with great clarity and fluency, making the complex philosophical and theological concepts approachable."
-Journal of American Studies
"A must-read."
-Barron's
"An excellent reading source for anyone interested in financial markets, and much more so for anyone interested in learning about capitalism without all the misinterpretations being thrown about in the financial media."
-Asia Times
"Provocative, well-written, and deserves to be read."
-Catholic Historical Review
"An engaging and important contribution to scholarship on the history of American Catholicism."
-Journal of the Historical Society

-Publishers Weekly
"A marvelous read. Every chapter taught me something new and unexpected."
-Tom Bethell, senior editor,
The American Spectator
"The hottest book today is Meltdown, by my friend Tom Woods."

-David Gordon, The Mises Review
"Tom Woods is one of my dearest allies in the struggle against wrong-headed and dangerous economic policy."
-Peter Schiff

Kevin Gutzman and I made mincemeat of poor, anti-Ron Paul Jeffrey Lord on the Mike Church Show today. Listen!

J.P. Parks

Awesome! You and Mr. Gutzman did everyone a service in rebutting Mr. Lord. People who aren’t up on the history and issues will be able to go straight to this interview to get the facts.

Tom,

Did you see Lord’s response to Jack Hunter where he essentially says “but look at all those other wars the founding fathers did!” I think that’s really cute. He thinks Ron Paul and non-interventionism = no wars. He doesn’t understand that protecting your country when you’re actually being attacked is something RP would support.

My pathetic at-work browser (IE7) won’t let me edit-in-place my comment. Said comment is, also, pathetic. Because this whole audio was addressing Lord’s post-Jack-Hunter-response. That’s what I get for commenting before listening. I thought it was recorded before Hunter’s reply. Sorry!
JR

I truly hope that you will put, what you and Dr Gutzman said here, in writing.

I will have a YouTube on this coming out in the morning.

SWEET!

I heard him on the radio today and its unfortunate that the host had no one to challenge him. So convenient.
