America's Two Just Wars (4 of 5) Murray N Rothbard

Murray N Rothbard is probably the most recognized mind behind the modern resurgence of Jeffersonianism and libertarianism, and is a brilliant communicator of austrian economics in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises.

All of Dr Rothbard's works, both books and lectures, can be found at the site of the Ludwig von Mises Institute at http://www.mises.org.

The Thousand year kingdom of God on earth, predates the Puritans back to the Vikings. The Norse Mans scriptures The Edda talk about the final battle and where Hel will be locked up, and Odin will reign. Charlegmene convinced the Norse that is was Christianity. The Puritans were decendants of the Norse, while Catholics were descended from Romans. Vikings were to slaughter all the cowards because only the brave will go to heaven.

Catholics were still doing that God made a man King thing, and so were the Anglicans, while America vehemently disagreed with it, and were lead by Puritans, who were defending John Lockes works Treatise of Civilizations where church should be out of State affairs.

He wrote a book called The New Atlantis, where slavery was wiped out. The Puritans in England lead by Cromwell overthrew the Monarchy, and installed a Parliament in their civil war, and was inspired by Bacon. While the Anglicans and Catholics for the most part were against Democracy. Puritans wanted freedomofreligion
