We all have our ‘heroes’….those people that we would like to go to a pub and have a beer and talk with……mine, since I was 12 years old has always been Thomas Paine……
Today is the birth date of Thomas Paine….29 January…..a man that we Americans owe a great deal to and have NEVER repaid that debt. A man who most Americans have forgotten.
The man who transformed the colonies from pussy whipped subjects of the crown into rebels that demanded and achieved independence from mother England. The man that help America grow a spine and demand independence.
A true champion.
More so than most Americans realize…..
Absolutely. I have at least one work of Thomas Paine with me at nearly all times. Amazing man.
Thanx Matt…me I have a copy of Commonsense with my at all times……it was what got me to be interested in political philosophy……a truly amazing man.
