The bifurcated thinking intrinsic to libertarianism (i.e. state bad, market good) produces the kind of intellectually bankrupt analyses seen in this video. Welfare has done more harm to black families than slavery? Political and economic power are separate? Who is this guy kidding? <br /><br />Never mind the No True Scotsman fallacy committed countless times (i.e. "oh, but that's not TRUE capitalism") in this video.A.P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319172106392132510.post-21359167337333218352016-05-06T15:10:46.680-04:002016-05-06T15:10:46.680-04:00I'll suffer your link even though Williams is ...I'll suffer your link even though Williams is an ivory-tower fool.

The Light in the Forest...I will kill Uncle Wilsie!<br /><br />The Light in the Forest is a great older movie that depicts the period. I also recommend:<br /><br /> Peaceable Kingdom Lost: The Paxton Boys and the Destruction of William Penn's Holy Experiment<br /><br />Great book that elaborates on what you're talking about. The Scots-Irish are a big complicated group but a fair number of them weren't very nice and did a lot to provoke the Indians.<br /><br />Of course there's also the terrible incident at the 2nd Gnadenhutten in Ohio. It was a shame. I am inspired by the Moravians of the frontier who brought the gospel but also earned the respect of the natives. David Zeisberger is something of a hero to me. I often think of him as I hike the woods around here. He preached to the Indians in this part of PA.Protoprotestanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217567607160768261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319172106392132510.post-87130246692135851592016-04-18T17:46:26.926-04:002016-04-18T17:46:26.926-04:00It's for such reasons that I'm curious to ...It's for such reasons that I'm curious to see, at some point, the musical Hamilton that took Broadyway by storm. The swashbuckling, carousing Caribbean who was captain of finance and essentially was the brains behind many of Washington's policies. Sounds like a good story. It also highlights how the Caribbean was not some other place, but was deeply wound into North American history.<br /><br />Also, an interesting historical inquiry worth investigating is even the creation of race. White and Black, and every other coloration, comes when Euro-Americans and Europeans, in an anxiety of their place in the world, built a sense of Whiteness, and its necessary dialectical opposition, which, in a sense, might be found as the root of Hegel's Master-Slave dialetic.<br /><br />Thus, those same Scots-Irish clamored for liberty in the Whiskey Rebellion, while slaughtering Indians in massacres like the Paxton Boys and in colonial skirmishes. Whether they were lawful heroes or infamous villains all turned on legitimization vis. colonial/revolutionary governments. Race is a means to de-humanize and destroy. Such is history in This Age.<br /><br />calCal of Chelcicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04274276191242967318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319172106392132510.post-15440891115982254772016-04-18T17:04:52.154-04:002016-04-18T17:04:52.154-04:00You're right, it's the spirit, not the act...You're right, it's the spirit, not the actual views. Those would be considered outdated.<br /><br />And yet it's funny.... Hamilton is always the villain and yet Washington favoured his policies. I also laugh about the Whiskey Rebellion.

However, it's the 'spirit' of the politics that they are trying to embody. I don't think Jefferson would want to sit down with someone like Sanders, but that's not the point.<br /><br />Ideological, but different than Conservative figures who think Washington's or whomever's politics need to be copied, verbatim, into the present.Cal of Chelcicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04274276191242967318noreply@blogger.com
