I have yet to see any evidence of that. I know there's a real media and blogosphere push to equate "the left" with socialism, but it's ideologically tenuous at best... misinterpreted terminology at worst.
@scbluesman13 I think you could say the same about the infiltrator on the left. I bet he ruled (Mr I have a preexisting condition) with an iron fist. In the kingdom of his moms basement.
calling yourself a socialist and being one are very different. He wasn't a socialist, he was a facist dictator with a voracious speed habit, and a napoleon complex that was unhinged.
@IRISHBUDDAFILTH he won't respond.

That was because Paine attacked the Church in Age of Reason.
So publicly they kept their distance, but privately they agreed. They gave away land.
They gave millions of acres of land to ordinary people. That was because of the influence of Paine and his writings.
Paine's theme were echoed by Jefferson, Franklin and later by the reformers of the 19th century and the progressives of the 20th century.
Paine's ideas are as American as anyone's.

@SamWiseGingy Most of the founding fathers didn't agree with thomas paines ideas. Only 6 people went to his funeral, 2 of them were free slaves.
