Thomas Paine - Silent No More

[Donsknotts]

Thomas Paine would be laughing at this sensationalist BS.

Stop buying bullshit, it can't make you happy.

[swordseller1]

There is only one way America......................R­EPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND

[CRUClEFICTION]

You're just another right-wing fascist and traitor in fueling the flames of divisiveness between those not of the wealthy class in this idiot nation of dupes.

[fatkinson1954]

@CRUClEFICTION  I don't think so. The liberals are left-wing types that further separate the classes by making people so dependent upon government handouts that they won't provide for themselves. Because the 'wealthy class' have to pay for your handouts, the cost of living is going up for everyone. It further divides the classes.

This man is talking about real freedom. And real freedom is something that the liberals could never understand. It requires responsibility.

[CRUClEFICTION]

@fatkinson1954

You're either an under educated, delusional old fart living in a dump without a pot to piss in, or are just another selfish millionaire who believes you can never have enough money socked away for yourself -- even if it means destroying the middle class and throwing the sickly poor into the streets who can't afford medical care.

"Freedom"...blah...blah...blah­... Please kill yourself.

[fatkinson1954]

@CRUClEFICTION Is that all you've got to send my way?  And you're completely wrong on both counts. I am neither a millionaire nor am I poor.

You clearly don't appreciate the concept of freedom.

[CRUClEFICTION]

@fatkinson1954 You're definitely one whacked out wingnut, and obviously weened on the poison of the faux news teat for far too long. Your twisted & grotesque concept of freedom boils down to the comforts and advantages only individual wealth can provide in today's greedy & selfish America, and to hell with everyone else. With that also comes the "freedom" for millions of poor & struggling middle class American families to go without sufficient food (12 million American children....

[CRUClEFICTION]

2) go to bed hungry each night); freedom for many to struggle their entire working lives without ever having the money/opportunity to receive a level of education required for advanced/future technologies; freedom to be kicked out of their homes by banks and just left to rot on the streets; freedom to be refused [the most basic human right of] much needed medical care; freedom to be denied the joys of marriage to the one person they love only because they have the same genitalia;...

[CRUClEFICTION]

3) freedom for workers to be paid substandard wages as their employer dictates because their union and its collective bargaining for a fair & decent wage has been taken away by a Republican fascist government; freedom for a woman to be forced by a Republican theocratic government to carry an embryo to term regardless of her individual circumstances or even threat to her life, and this fucking rightwing crap goes on and on. Your concept of America, sir, is...

[CRUClEFICTION]

4) one fucked up hell on earth for everyone not of the wealthy class!

In some other realm that I just cannot fathom, that is how you and others have come to be brainwashed into think America is and/or should be about. I assure you it is not the one that belonged to those who came before, nor the one I thought I was fighting to preserve while in Nam. Your concept of America only offers the great masses such things as unfairness, blatant bigotry, widespread deprivation, unmitigated struggle,...

[CRUClEFICTION]

5) a new 21st century form of worker servitude, and even premature death. It is a deceitful counterfeit and bastardization of our founding principles. I have shown in just one paragraph above that the America which was founded on the all-important guarantee to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" for ALL its people, will not, and cannot be provided to the vast majority under your concept of it. It is only your media-indoctrinated delusion that tells you otherwise. Your America --

[CRUClEFICTION]

6) the one for which you argue only on behalf of the interests of the wealthy, the corporations, & the powerful (your masters), even as it's contrary to the best interests of yours and of mine -- I find to be utterly despicable and even traitorous!

I will continue to battle against the diseased spread of your fascist & inhuman ideology for as long as I shall live. That is all, and good day.

[fatkinson1954]

@CRUClEFICTION Really? Those middle class families are disappearing because of this socialism you support. Greedy? I don't think so. There's plenty out there for anyone if you want to go out and get it. The problem is, the liberals don't want you to. They enslave you this way.

Is this the best you've got to send my way? It's really pretty lame.

You want to let the government take care of you, rule you, and run your lives for you. 

That's not freedom.

[fatkinson1954]

November 2, 2010 -- We've taken the House! God Bless America.

[fatkinson1954]

The showdown is almost here. November 2nd can't come too soon.

[fatkinson1954]

The liberal left and the incumbents are probably getting very poor sleep right now. They know they are going down very soon.

November 2, 2010 is going to be a day listed in the history books.

God Bless America.

[fatkinson1954]

Americans are rising to take their nation back. We love America and we don't want any more of this.

Thomas Paine is saying it like it is.

God Bless America.

Down with Obozo and his cronies.

[trometter]

this video is kickass

[IDidNotVote4This]

WE THE PEOPLE have gotten enough of Obama's, Pelosi's, Reid's, SHIT!!! Kiss your asses good bye!

[SamWiseGingy]

@2bpilot Try this one:

When it shall be said in any country in the world, my poor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want, the taxes are not oppressive; the rational world is my friend, because I am the friend of its happiness: when these things can be said, then may that country boast its constitution and its government. Thomas Paine Rights of Man

[SamWiseGingy]

@2bpilot That's your phrase not mine.

The point is the Thomas Paine of history and the Thomas Paine of Bob Basso are two different people and Bob Basso is misrepresenting Thomas Paine.

Thomas Paine was no more a conservative in today's terms than George Washington was a Tory.

[fatkinson1954]

@SamWiseGingy Who cares? The current Thomas Paine is saying it like it is.

[SamWiseGingy]

@fatkinson1954

What if you saw someone dress up to like Jesus and saying the Koran is the word of God?

What if I called myself Glenn Beck and started talking like Christopher Hitchens.

You are admitting that you don't respect American history and you don't care how our founding fathers are presented.

[fatkinson1954]

@SamWiseGingy If you dressed up like Jesus and said that the Koran was the word of God, I doubt anyone with an ounce of intelligence would believe you.

If you called yourself Glenn Beck, no one would believe you.

I'll grant that Thomas Paine was an important part of our history.

At present, it only matters that we take the country back from the leftist extremists and special interest groups.

[SamWiseGingy]

@2bpilot

So you still haven't read Rights of Man have you?

Instead of insulting me and accussing me of misrepresenting Paine try reading Paine.

Paine has a 14 point plan for England in Rights of Man and Piane's plam makes LBJ and FDR look like pikers when it comes to being liberals.

So when you know Paine you can argue about whether or not he is fairly quoted. Until then you are only documenting your ignorance of Paine.

[SamWiseGingy]

@2bpilot

Hey scholar look at what Paine proposed in Rights of Man.

There were 14 Points in his plan here's one them:

Provision for two hundred and fifty-two thousand poor families, at the rate of four pounds per head for each child under fourteen years of age; which, with the addition of two hundred and fifty thousand pounds, provides also education for one million and thirty thousand children.

[SamWiseGingy]

Close your eyes, tap your heels three times and say to yourself, Thomas Paine is a conservative three times or go read some Paine.

If you do you will find that Paine was quite comfortable with a government taxing the wealthy to adress social ills.

You can no more argue that Thomas Paine is a conservative than you could argue that FDR or Teddy Roosevelt was a conservative.

[SamWiseGingy]

This guy is a fraud.

Anyone who has Thomas Paine's Agrarian Justice would know that Thomas Paine would not be a Tea Partier, or a conservative.

[buzzclick500]

I couldn't care less what you're NOT. What ARE you, THAT'S what I want to know.

[circutracer150]

We the People of the United States of America need to remove power from our incompetent government officials by FORCE. It is WHY we have the Right To Bear Arms. It is why we have the Right to Assemble.

And if they will not give the power back to we to which it belongs to, then it is time every one of us renounce our government, and utterly ignore them.

[noyouaintgettingit]

@circutracer150 no, no no, no violence, please

[buzzclick500]

@circutracer150 : Article 2, Sec. 4:"The president, vice-president and all civil officers of the government will be removed from office upon impeachment for, and conviction of, Treason, Bribery and other High Crimes and Misdemeanors."

[fatkinson1954]

Obama just killed the Constellation project and set a record budget to allow for excessive spending.

He just doesn't understand the people of this country or he doesn't care to.

[buzzclick500]

@fatkinson1954 : What he understands or cares about is no longer relevant. His exit is pending.

[fatkinson1954]

@buzzclick500 I agree with you. And even though he's not up for re-election this year, he's going to get badly burned when they Dems lose a lot of control.

[buzzclick500]

@fatkinson1954 : The entire government is going to lose "control" that never belonged to them in the first place. Our Constitution is a standing restraining order against the government. It's time we picked it up and used it. Quietly, lawfully, firmly and confidently. The tumor is shrinking after 77 years.

[fatkinson1954]

@buzzclick500 I agree. I'm looking forward to a evening in front of the television on November 2 (after I vote against them, of course).

God Bless America.

[buzzclick500]

@fatkinson1954 : I'm looking forward to going to an American grocery store with a smiling manager and cheerful cashiers, and that's open from 7 a.m. to sundown--like it should be. And Wal-Mart a thing of the past.

[The1shithead]

WELL they did it to us anyway

What is it going to take to get these ***holes attention

[fatkinson1954]

To answer your question, the 2010 election. THAT is what will get their attention.

[noyouaintgettingit]

@fatkinson1954 HEAR HEAR!!! *APPLAUD*

[SamWiseGingy]

@noyouaintgettingit If you had read any of Thomas Paine you would see through this fraud. Read Agrarian Justice. There you find Paine wanted to use the government to solve social problems and tax the rich to pay for it.

[buzzclick500]

@The1shithead : We did it to ourselves, and only WE can undo it.

[kalendello]

They've successfully silenced us for long enough! We've been called racists because we oppose government interjecting themselves into every aspect of our live, we are not racists, and those who pretend to show compassion to minorities is doing nothing more than holding them down.

It's not about the parties, they divide us so they can appease a specific group, claim to be for a specific cause... don't feed into that... there is far more than unites us than divides us.

[Pokerislife7]

this is one of the most amazing videos I have ever seen why doesnt it have more views!!!??????

[SamWiseGingy]

@Pokerislife7 I guess you don't know that the real Thomas Paine was a liberal. If you don't believe me read Agrarian Justice.

Until then you and the rest of the Tea Party movement have memorialized their ignorance of history by falling for Basso's act.

[FATToney12]

"My name is Thomas Paine, may God bless America." Those words would never be uttered together in a sentence by Thomas Paine

[fatkinson1954]

God Bless America.

[fatkinson1954]

Perhaps you were one of them.

First they ridicule you. Then you win.

[underlinedbluetext]

I don't follow. Sorry I'm done arguing about nothing in particular.

[fatkinson1954]

That's a convenient answer considering that you removed the comments I was replying to.

We, the People are taking America back like it or not. Come the 2010 election, some elected officials are going to be getting pink slips.

God Bless America.

[underlinedbluetext]

your point? what point was that? that i would respond?

good for you.

[fatkinson1954]

That you can't take it when you don't get the last word.

[fatkinson1954]

You are out of touch. Why don't you move to a socialist country where you will die before you get the medical care you need to save your life?

[OriginalMamaBear]

Then we can get going where? To kill off those not deemed (by whomever is in control) of being "good" for our society? Do you realize, if you are in any kind of accident and are disabled permanently, YOU TOO are expendable in the Obamacare?

[OriginalMamaBear]

Yes, Take America Back, (not just from the democrats) but also from the crazy spending idiots who are enSLAVING generations upon generations.

Taxing and spending reasonably WITHIN the guidelines of the Constitution is one thing. What is happening in Washington is becoming completely UNREAL.

We are unAmerican for voicing our beliefs? *stares* rofl

[fatkinson1954]

You won't have insurance if Obama has his way.

Maybe there is no such thing as a death panel, but there will be a panel to decide whether or not it is cost effective to save your life.

I would suggest that you read Chuck Norris's book 'Blackbelt Patriotism'. You might change your mind about this country as it was founded upon Christian principles.

[fatkinson1954]

Separation of church and state only means that the government cannot endorse and support a particular religion. It was never meant to say that you couldn't say a prayer in a public institution.

Stem cell research is playing God. That's a business we need to stay out of.

[fatkinson1954]

Is it so unreasonable to believe that if we can't trust them to follow our constitution and our laws that we could trust them to manage our health care and allow government run panels to decide what treatment we will get and we won't?

I draw the line when a government that is already undermining the rights, savings, and their responsibilities (not to mention twisting our constitution) to the people of this country. And that is what is happening here.

[fatkinson1954]

How can you even compare the two, which is why I didn't answer. If you want to talk about being all over the place, I'd suggest that you are, sir.

Regards,

[fatkinson1954]

Don't mock Chuck Norris until you've read his book. Based upon historical info, you'd find his writings to be very sound.

Why don't you challenge him to a match? I'm sure you'd beat him.

There is a big difference between healing and playing with evolution that has taken millions of years to develop. How long has serious medicine been practiced? I don't think it's been that long. Playing with life issues they cannot possibly understand is playing God.

[AussieNewsViews]

I live in the land down under,I am some thirteen hours away, via the finest passenger aircraft ever built, the Boeing 747 400, from LA.

I can feel the "Change Americans CAN Belive in" starting to shake the planet like no other citizens movement ever seen.

God Bless you guys for having the balls to stand up to this UN sponsored Muslim, Saudi Arabian lick spittle, Hussein Obama.

God Bless America and Thomas Paine

[fatkinson1954]

And God Bless our good friends Down Under.

[GrimmMylene]

First they ignore, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. Mathama Ghandi YES WE CAN !! Doctors and the Insurance Company's need to get together and work out some kind of deal that is beneficial to all Americans, themselves included. Government needs to stay out of our business. Especially our Health Look at the financial mess Congress and our Presidents have done to all of us,They want to do WHAT NOW? I don't think so! We needto stay vigilant.

[fatkinson1954]

You got that right.

God Bless America and God Bless Conservative values.

[deltaarnet]

He is so right about a sleeping giant and I am so happy to see it!! God Bless America

[TheNative4u]

Great video! We are the people! I thank all the men & women who serve in our armed forces! Home of the free because of the brave! We owe a dept of gratitude! We can't allow The Constitution to be trashed! Many native americans have served to keep Freedom for the Republic. My grandfather served in the navy in the war. He was a proud American Patriot and so am I. America is great and so are the american people! W will not be defeated! We will fight the good fight an win! Stay Strong for the USA!!!

[fatkinson1954]

God Bless them ALL.

[ShaytanBozorg]

I can't tell how much I LOVE this video.

TAKE AMERICA BACK!!

[SamWiseGingy]

@ShaytanBozorg

Have you ever read any of Thomas Paine. Have you read Agrarian Justice? Please do and then tell me who is rewriting history?

[twanablevins]

Excellent video!

[fatkinson1954]

Did you expect anything less than that from Mr. Paine?

God Bless America.

[redleg13f20]

Keep up the steam! Full speed ahead and damm the torpedoes! We can not go out quietly! In TP's time they would have said "keep up powder dry!", today we need to keep our batteries charged! Go to every town hall meeting and event! Tape everything especially the junk the left puts out there. Don't let anyone stop us from taking back our America!

[fortsmith1]

I will not let America turn into a Socialist Country. I'm angry to.

[1Tarz]

This is so good!

[leahrivka]

Another awesome video by Bob Basso, as Thomas Payne.

[SUSPENDEDKUFFAR]

Vote them all out in 2010.

[buzzclick500]

@SUSPENDEDKUFFAR : I think it's gone too far for that......immediate lawful removal from office is the solution.

[fatkinson1954]

@SUSPENDEDKUFFAR It was in another place on YouTube and it did get quite a large number of views.

This very video was shown on Fox News. Go Fox!!!!!

[fatkinson1954]

@SUSPENDEDKUFFAR Vote Obama out in 2012!

[fatkinson1954]

@SUSPENDEDKUFFAR Vote them all out in 2012. Go Tea Party!
