The Toleration Act of 1634 set the Maryland colony up as a refuge for Catholics. But some people are always trying to force others to worship their gods, speak their language and follow their rules.
WOW, Bill, Five whole dollars. Aren’t you the generous one. He should be able to get a hot cup of coffee to help him warm up his cold bones. Maybe someone who isn’t a multi-millionaire will pony up enough for the guy to get a hot meal as well.
It wasn’t a long fight. It was a long capitulation. The founders set up a system that endured for as long as it did because it was genius. But American’s never fought to preserve it. They let America’s enemies take every strategic advantage. Right minded Americans eschewed politics and went to work and enjoyed the civil society that the wise had created for them. They never understood that it needed tending, that if ignored it would rot and sink like an aging house ignored. No one should wonder what happened. It wasn’t a fight lost. It was a fight never fought.
I don't agree with much of your politics but this is an exception. WE have truly lost freedom under the guise of state security. They have their hand in every aspect of life, it must end.
Spot on. It’s time to defund the bankrupt warmongering central government and let the people of each state do their own thing. Not only has generalísimo Trump done the other 190 countries of the world the favor of realizing that the USA is no longer their reliable guiding beacon, but an aimless corrupt collapsing slaveholding wannabe, maybe each individual state can come to the same realization. Thank you, Donald (and corrupt family and vacuous friends and overly-greedy corporatists) for your one contribution to all of humanity: our real freedom from tyrannical maniacs like you.
More: When Trump denied landing rights to the President of Taiwan recently, it helped explain why she is now looking to Xi for succor.
And now that Canada is selling to China the natural gas that it once sold to the US, Trump delivers another cost of living bump to us, a perverse Christmas present. What a guy.
Speaking of unwarranted government invasion into our lives has anyone seen this secret list NSPM-7 of domestic terrorists? Just think of the possibilities, no matter which team is in power the government can add your name to the list because they found one of your social media posts to be threatening. Tell me again what was the purpose of the Revolutionary War?
Bill I always appreciate your writings. I do think you might be premature in giving in to the beast. "But who today still laments the ‘unwarranted invasion’ by the federal authorities into every aspect of our lives?"
This article has nothing to do with economics. This does not help me on how to keep my hard earned funds. I do have a quotation I heard many years ago.
“When people give up freedom for security, eventually they lose both, freedom and security”
Marry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year to all of you, including Bill Bonner and family. Hopefully, next year more economics and less B.S.
Ah, once again Bongo Bill gives us one of his uplifting columns while sloshing through the sewers of our past. Nothing about those trying to return us to a Constitutional Republic based on individual rights - to Bill, they don't exist.
"The Articles of Confederation were ditched in favor of a strong central government."
And that marked the end of what was a promising beginning.

We all have more in common than we are led to believe regardless of political parties.
"The War Between the States closed the door; there would be no escape."
And yet still today Lincoln is celebrated as one of our greatest presidents when he was in fact a treacherous tyrant.

Bill's given us another chapter in "Empires End."

I am one and you have some others around you.

Generalissimo... really Billy, I assume you know words matter, I had to look it up:)
How's that Francis Key Bridge doing by you, Bill??? How's that Education system doing in your city, Bill?

for once, in a while, I agree with Bill! But what can we do?
