Bramwell is a filthy Yankee that should be strung up and hung from the nearest oak tree. Him and his kind up north have done so much damage to our country down here. He should be lynched.
Yes, well said Johnny !
For the record, my ancestors ran the Union blockade so that the South could continue selling cotton during the war.

To his credit, Bramwell acknowledged that he had no idea what he was talking about — it was evident when the discussion turned to business cycle theory and money. Richard Spencer was better — but only slightly — he didn’t say anything so nearly ignorant, but he was unable to correct Bramwell’s errors.
If you don’t have anything informed to say — don’t say it. And Bramwell, I know you don’t mean to mischaracterize or strawman the ideas you criticize, so please settle down with a copy of David Gordon’s Essential Rothbard and Rothbard’s own The Mystery of Banking.
