Here is quote from Thomas Paine.
"My country is the world, and my religion is to do good."
If this quote was unattributed, and given to your average Fox News/Tea Party enthusiast, you would probably see an attempt to discredit, denounce, or dismiss it as the likely statement of some obviously wimpy liberal do-gooder. But how would such folks respond after hearing that it comes from a patriot of the American Revolution with impeccable credentials?
Let the squirming begin, I suspect.
And speaking of squirming...did you happen to hear Sarah Palin this week making a feeble case that the U.S.A. should be considered a "Christian Nation"? Is not the U.S. Constitution very clear about the importance of the separation of Church and State? How come the talking heads at FOX were not on her like flies on stink for being a threat to our country with this traitorous disregard of our sacred Constitution?
Hmmm...I wonder.

Nobody would squirm, they'd just make shit up, and if that didn't work, they'd swiftboat Thomas Paine. It is amazing, I watched the original Frost/Nixon tapes, nobody today would bother to try and make such a detailed defense for the history books, they'd just make stuff up, and most importantly, deny, deny, deny.
And no, I didn't see what Sarah Palin said, she has no credibility, and therefore I ignore her, to the extent that is possible.
So true Dion. Facts seem not to matter these days. The winning formula is clear: Three parts provocation based on fabrication, mixed with two parts entertainment, shake, stir, and serve.(small dash of truth optional)
