In this episode we talk about 17th century classical Liberals John
Locke, and Algernon Sidney, and the importance of their contribution to
Libertarian Revolutionary thought. We also talk about America's heritage
of being a free thinking people, and one of secession from injustice
and tyranny. We also talk about gun laws and the Right to Keep and Bear
arms, and the real reason for that Right. It doesn't come from the 2nd
amendment folks. In the second hour we discuss positive laws and how the
State excuses themselves from the laws they impose on us mere serfs.
Enjoy!
An interesting article on America's spiritual foundation and legacy:

That was a good read. The puritans were an important part of our founding. It is unfortunate that when they first came they got a little carried away with trying to force their way on others, and not allowing any freedom of Worship. But where would we be without that Radical Puritan, Samuel Adams?
