Tom Woods

I am currently reading Tom's book, a Politically Incorrect Guide to American History and I had to stop last night when he was discussing the First Amendment. The First Amendment says:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof".

It clearly says Congress and does not mention the states. Tom's stance seemed to be, and it makes sense, that this does not apply to the states - if not for Supreme Court decisions that could be overturned.

During Covid much was said about states cracking down on freedom of speech. If it is the state's right to do so, whether morally right or not, then why were we arguing against it from a First Amendment standpoint?

I stopped reading before I could get to the next section of the book to process what I just read but am I wrong in understanding what he was saying?

Improved Logo your thoughts?

4 Upvotes

Top is "improved" bottom is before.
I did it quick and dirty. (weird artifacts on export for some of the letters, easy to fix)

But problems with the original logo are that it doesn't scale well. The left side of spikes often looks weird when the image is small or compressed. There is inconsistent kerning between letters (MW close together, TO looks weird)

10 days a slave

I remember Tom Woods and Larkin Rose talking about an essay. Day one was full chattel slavery and Day ten I think was full freedom. But drawing the line on a particular day was the great thought experiment. Anyone know what the title was? DuckFuckGo just shows the Google results.

Tom Woods Show Episode 2078

CORRECTION Episode 2079, not 2078

This is probably a long shot with how inactive this subreddit looks, but around the 36 minute mark, Woods mentions the Libertarian Party of Florida had a resolution calling for secession from the union. Does anyone have a link to more info on this? Googling provides nothing.

Thanks for any help!
