Thomas Paine would roll over in his grave if he knew he was being used as a propaganda tool for the intolerant religious morons behind the Glenn Beck Show

Paine was English, he lived in my town, for a while.

If ppl think that there are sides in government, there wrong. Its a show. Good Guy, Bad Guy. Everything is the same. There is no change from one president to the next. Same puppet masters, different puppets. Our government is corrupt.

I don't like when anyone compares a long ago historical figure to any current political party or ideology. Paine would be a mix of todays political parties and would not have cookie cutter views of just liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican. Paine would probably seeing more in common with people like Ron Paul.

Read the chapter entitled "Ways and Means" in "Rights of Man". He's absolutely correct, Paine prescribed a system of welfare for the poor and elderly, universal education, a limit on how much a person should be able to make in a year (10k pounds, at the time), government housing and workhouses in London, paying for funerals.

He funds these things by creating a defense alliance with France and the US, and cutting off the aristocracy and/or handouts to the rich. 1/2way in the chapter

@CBglassart

Thomas Paine was the literal antithesis of everything Glenn Beck stands for.

[bonfirejovi]

@luxfero Can you provide proof of this? Thomas Paine in the MASS majority of his ideas was a classical liberal. He supported individual liberty, free markets and free trade which is something socialists abhor. You have to look at all his ideas to decide what he is, not a select few that support your ideas.

[SamWiseGingy]

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.

WTF are you talking about?

I'm surprised you'd like to get rid of the CIA, and every federally regulated agency, and then privatize firemen, schools/teachers, the library, national parks, the post office, and get rid of every single social service that is provided by the government and think that because you also want to get rid of the drug war that that makes you a "patriot." And then you'd like to return to the gold standard and repeal (nearly) every none state tax.
