Description

Ammon Hennacy was *the* American Christian anarchist. He was a draft dodger, tax resister, vegetarian, Catholic, anarchist, wobbly, who did what he could to resist the US empire and care for the homeless. Recently, it was Hennacy's birthday, so we thought we'd pause and take a look at his life and testimony.

The Zinger That Saved America: Daniel Webster's Reply to Hayne: The Union threatened by legislative fiat, a Senator rose to reply to another. For Daniel Webster, it was a real comeback, What we might call a "zinger" today. "Not Liberty First and Union Afterwards! ...but Liberty and Union now and Forever One and Inseparable," Though since it was a 19th century zinger, it took 4 hours to deliver the line. Still it would become some of the most famous oratory in Senate history. When South Carolina's Senator Robert Hayne spoke in the Senate in 1830 to criticize Massachusetts and its Senator Daniel Webster, his comments were governmental but his intentions were personal. Haynes was an ally of John Calhoun, and he sought to reduce that Senator's reputation and the New England influence in federal government with a stunning interpretation of how the Constitution should work. A state could interpret any law the way it wished, he argued. . And although several friends told him not to, Hay by My History Can Beat Up Your Politics
