I plan on celebrating with some America beer (buttweiser has an America can) and shooting off my stash of illegal fireworks too late in the evening. I'll probably be breaking open container laws walking down our street with my can of America and I imagine the smoke I emit when I smoke a pork butt on Sunday will be enough to warrant a visit from my local fire department. I'm on a short leash with them because they've already caught me burning wood illegally this year. Yay, freedom!!!

Happy Birthday to me!

Jeff Deist with Michael Boldin: Unyoking Ourselves
This weekend, Michael Boldin from the Tenth Amendment Center joins Jeff Deist for a discussion of pure tactics and strategy.
In the wake of Brexit, do libertarians have a real opportunity to make the case for breaking away? Is it time to stop trying to convince millions that liberty is better, and start unyoking ourselves? Can secession and nullification movements really work against political elites? And how do we get started at the local level? Michael is the perfect guest to answer these questions.

It should be a day of reflection and mourning, the despotism embraced by America. The bank of England still owns this country. People have forgotten the meaning for the American revolution. Unlawful taxes and violence. "From time to time the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants".

Dammit, I built my AR too early... it's not born on the 4th of July...
I probably can't make it that far without "consummating our relationship", either...
Still, 'Merka!

The Federalist Papers, No. 15:
Except as to the rule of appointment, the United States have an indefinite discretion to make requisitions for men and money; but they have no authority to raise either by regulations extending to the individual citizens of America.
Fun 4th of July conversation starter:
At 4th of July events, don't stand for any vague, bad policy, government worship moments. Have a good answer ready, and a copy of the declaration, BoR, etc. Whatever you want to focus on this year.
Offer to recite the BoR with them, etc. Best of luck!

The BoR on "Independence Day"? (The real Independence day was the 2nd, not the 4th) Weird IMO, but up to you.

3 Things to Remember on Independence Day
https://mises.org/blog/3-things-reme...dependence-day...
One: If You Can't Secede, You're Not Really Free
The very first sentence of the Declaration of Independence lays it out. Sometimes, "it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another..."
The document then goes on to list in detail why 1776's specific act of secession was justified and necessary for preserving the rights of the colonists.
By the 19th century, this philosophy of self-determination would become a foundational element of the ideology now known internationally as liberalism — or "classical liberalism" in the United States.
Not surprisingly, we find this idea in the later writings of liberals such as Ludwig von Mises who, writing in Vienna in 1927, concluded:
It must always be possible to shift the boundaries of the state if the will of the inhabitants of an area to attach themselves to a state other than the one to which they presently belong has made itself clearly known...
[W]henever the inhabitants of a particular territory ... make it known ... that they no longer wish to remain united to the state to which they belong at the time ... their wishes are to be respected and complied with.
Mises, like Jefferson, understood that without this right of self-determination, there is no freedom.
Nevertheless, modern opponents of self-determination and secession will claim that secession cannot be tolerated because it is not "legal."
This is scarcely relevant. After all, the colonial uprising against the King was not "legal," and it hardly matters whether political victors consider any breakaway secession movements legal. Times and societies change, and nothing is forever or written in stone.
For Mises, secession must be tolerated for pragmatic reasons. It is "the only feasible and effective way of preventing revolutions and civil and international wars." But For Jefferson, as for his fellow secessionists, it was a moral imperative, whether "treasonous" or not.
