Happy Birthday, Thomas Paine! Rich Conservatives Still Tremble at Your Name. | AlterNet -
Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, FDR, and King. All read and were inspired by Paine. And today, we celebrate our radicalism. But we don’t appreciate it. So we have lots to make up for… Our corporations may screw us. Our politicians may fail us. And our fellow citizens may disappoint us. But our task is not to scorn them. Our task is to remind them of who we are. To remind them that we are Americans. To remind them that we are the children and grandchildren of revolutionaries, radicals, and progressives. To remind them, as Thomas Paine reminded us, that “We have it in our power to begin the world over again.”
