It is amazing how history always repeats itself and yet man never catches on. Those who do are labeled every hateful thing under the sun.

Imagine my surprise when I read that it was Paine, and not another current day blogger voicing frustration and a call to action against the federal gummint! We have come full circle, and stand now at a turning point in our little experiment... do we perservere or were we merely a glimmer of hope in a sea of perpetual tyranny?

Rev. Paul,

I completely understand about the life thing; as you can see mine has kept me from posting as frequently as I would like.

When I read this I was excited; the fact that the Founding Fathers who lived in times that many today consider out dated, obsolete, primitive there were men who had more knowledge and intelligence than most of our experts of today put together. They were ahead of their times and a God send for us today; I believe God knew we would need their encouragement and knowledge in these dark hours of our Republic.

Terry,

A very old war indeed. I really cannot believe that the freest people in history have willingly thrown it away. The greatest tragedy about it is that it is a mindless, passivist minority that has gotten us to this point and a base that got comfortable and was lulled into it like a siren's trap. They have realized it now, at least, and are mobilizing; I just hope it is not too late.

SR - first, an apology. I read this last Friday while at work, and intended to come back afterward for a second read.
But life is what happens to you while you're making other plans - and I didn't back until tonight.

I apologize because a post this significant deserves approbation - Mr. Paine was a wise man, and I thank you for shedding light on another portion of his writing.

This quote by Thomas Paine says just as much about the traitors of freedom today as it did in his own time.

Indeed it does. Because they're all cut from the exact same cloth. It also says as much about the patriots and statesmen of today as it did back then. Because, well, the selfsame principle applies there too.

As is mentioned elsewhere, "we're in a new phase of a very old war."
