Thomas Paine

[worth]

I happened to come across "Mr. Thomas Paine" on youtube and though the videos were really well done and had an imporatnt message in them. I wholeheartedly support the message "Mr. Paine" speaks about and thought the CP brain trust may be interested in the videos.

Sounds like right wing propaganda to me.

Talk of "dismantlers" who teach our kids that America is the enemy? Welfare state is evil? Elite brain dead liberals?

Not everything he says is stupid but the really, really stupid stuff tends to overshadow the stuff that is somewhat reasonable.

He wants to help poor brown and black kids so that we can "hasten assimilation". Sounds like a radical melting pot theory.

The longer I watch him speak the more I feel like he is wearing a dinner napkin tucked into his collar.

Ummm...what the ****?

Thomas Paine is arguably the greatest American of all time and was the embodiment of enlightenment liberalism.

This guy thinks he speaks for Thomas Paine with his fear-mongering right wing rhetoric?

How dare he.

Exactly. I hate how Paine has been twisted into a right wing icon of late - Glenn Beck even titled his latest batch of crap "Common Sense." Paine was radically liberal and vehemently anti-Christian - exactly the opposite of the right-wing idiots who come up with this garbage.

I have a great deal of respect for the words and wisdom of Thomas Paine.

I have no respect for this jackass using Paine's legacy for his own perverted world view.

Thomas Paine is rolling over in his grave.
