Stimulus Deal: the Bane of Bipartisanship ROBERT BOROSAGE The stimulus deal just announced is being praised more for its existence than its content. Much lamented partisan bickering was overcome; bipartisan cooperation that got it done. With Wall Street bankers in panic, better something than nothing. It's worth taking a look under the hood. read/discuss/broadcast No New Ideas Faced with limited time in office, a Democratic Congress, and a diminished role on the national stage, President Bush will skip new ideas in his State of the Union speech in favor of ideas we've heard before. Rebates Possibly Delayed The president's plan to send rebate checks to 17 million households could put a strain on the IRS and delay the sending of checks, which the stimulus deal says must go out within 60 days of the president signing the authorization. Senate Tests Stimulus Deal Senators are proposing items that the House omitted from the stimulus package, such as an unemployment insurance extension, tax rebates for low-income households and billions in spending on infrastructure.

THOMAS PAINE CONTENTS This website contains these complete works of Thomas Paine, pamphleteer, patriot, dreamer (1737–1809) Paine's call to arms for America. "These are the times that try men's souls." Paine's reply to an attack on the French Revolution by Edmund Burke. Paine's biting criticism of the Bible and religion. "These are the times that try men's souls." This simple quotation from Founding Father Thomas Paine's The Crisis not only describes the beginnings of the American Revolution, but also the life of Paine himself. Throughout most of his life, his writings inspired passion, but also brought him great criticism. He communicated the ideas of the Revolution to common farmers as easily as to intellectuals, creating prose that stirred the hearts of the fledgling United States. He had a grand vision for society: he was staunchly anti-slavery, and he was one of the first to advocate a world peace organization and social security for the poor and elderly. But his radical views on religion would destroy his success, and by the end of his life, only a handful of people attended his funeral. Brief Biography On January 29, 1737, Thomas Paine was born in Thetford, England. His father, a corseter, had grand visions for his son, but by the age of 12, Thomas had failed out of school. The young Paine began apprenticing for his father, but again, he failed. So, now age 19, Paine went to sea. This adventure didn't last too long, and by 1768 he found himself as an excise (tax) officer in England. Thomas didn't exactly excel at the role, getting discharged from his post twice in four years, but as an inkling of what was to come, he published

25. The Age Of Reason - Part I It is probable that paine ascribed the Letters of Junius to Thomas Hollis. His friend F. Lanthenas, in his translation of the Age of Reason (1794) http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/thomas_paine/age_of_reason/part1.html

Library Historical Documents Thomas Paine Age Of Reason : Part I Contents Chapter I - The Author's Profession Of Faith Chapter II - Of Missions And Revelations Chapter III - Concerning The Character of Jesus Christ, And His History Chapter IV - Of The Bases Of Christianity ... Recapitulation CHAPTER I - THE AUTHOR'S PROFESSION OF FAITH. IT has been my intention, for several years past, to publish my thoughts upon religion; I am well aware of the difficulties that attend the subject, and from that consideration, had reserved it to a more advanced period of life. I intended it to be the last offering I should make to my fellow-citizens of all nations, and that at a time when the purity of the motive that induced me to it could not admit of a question, even by those who might disapprove the work. The circumstance that has now taken place in France, of the total abolition of the whole national order of priesthood, and of everything appertaining to compulsive systems of religion, and compulsive articles of faith, has not only precipitated my intention, but rendered a work of this kind exceedingly necessary, lest, in the general wreck of superstition, of false systems of government, and false theology, we lose sight of morality, of humanity, and of the theology that is true. As several of my colleagues, and others of my fellow-citizens of France, have given me the example of making their voluntary and individual profession of faith, I also will make mine; and I do this with all that sincerity and frankness with which the mind of man communicates with itself.

26. Thomas Paine, 1737-1809 The radical propagandist and voice of the common man, Thomas paine, was born in Thetford in Norfolk on January 29, 1737. http://www.historyguide.org/intellect/paine.html

Thomas Paine, 1737-1809 At Lewes, Paine was active in local affairs, serving on the town council and establishing a debating club at a local tavern. As a shopkeeper, however, he was a failure. In April 1774, Paine was discharged from his duties for having absented himself from his post without leave. He published the pamphlet The Case of the Officers of Excise (London, 1772), and had devoted too much time campaigning in London on behalf of the excise officers. In London he met Benjamin Franklin who helped him to emigrate to America in October 1774. Paine settled in Philadelphia where he soon began a new career as a journalist. He contributed articles to the Pennsylvania Magazine on a wide range of topics. Thus on January 10, 1776, he published a short pamphlet, Common Sense , which immediately established his reputation as a revolutionary propagandist. Although he had only been in America less than a year, Paine committed himself to the cause of American independence. He attacked monarchical government and the alleged virtues of the British constitution, opposing any reconciliation with Great Britain. He also urged an immediate declaration of independence and the establishment of a republican constitution. Paine was convinced that the American Revolution was a crusade for a superior political system and that America was ultimately unconquerable. He did as much as any writer could to encourage resistance and to inspire faith in the Continental Army. I essays published in the

Molly Pitcher, An American Heroine Thomas Paine's Common Sense "Addressed to the Inhabitants of America... A New Edition, with Several Additions in the Body of the Work. To Which is added an Appendix; together with an Address to the People called Quakers. Philadelphia: W. and T. Bradford, 1791." Abstract Published anonymously by Thomas Paine in January of 1776, Common Sense was an instant best-seller, both in the colonies and in Europe. It went through several editions in Philadelphia, and was republished in all parts of United America. Because of it, Paine became internationally famous. "A Covenanted People" called Common Sense "by far the most influential tract of the American Revolution....it remains one of the most brilliant pamphlets ever written in the English language." Paine's political pamphlet brought the rising revolutionary sentiment into sharp focus by placing blame for the suffering of the colonies directly on the reigning British monarch, George III. First and foremost, Common Sense advocated an immediate declaration of independence, postulating a special moral obligation of America to the rest of the world. Not long after publication, the spirit of Paine's argument found resonance in the American Declaration of Independence.

International Vegetarian Union (IVU) North America: 18th Century Thomas Paine American political pamphleteer born in England. His works include the pamphlets Common Sense (1776) and Crisis (1776-83), supporting the American colonists fight for independence. The Rights of Man (1791-92), a justification of the French Revolution; and The Age of Reason (1194-96) a defence of Deism. Note: there is no evidence that Paine was vegetarian, but his thinking was very influential on those who followed. Quote: The moral duty of man consists of imitating the moral goodness and benificence of God manifested in the creation towards all his creatures. Everything of persecution and revenge between man and man, and everything of cruelty to animals is a violation of moral duty. - The Age of Reason A poem: CRUELTY TO ANIMALS EXPOSED Occasioned by a real circumstance A Pale and wrinkled wretch I saw one day, Whom pale disease had wither'd half away, And yet the sad remaining half seem'd curst With all the mis'ries that befell the first;

Thomas Paine "The neglected pioneer of one revolution, the honoured victim of another, brave to the point of folly ..." Thomas Paine was born in Thetford (just north of Cambridge) the son of a Quaker corset maker. His entire career, up to his age 37, had been a succession of failures and frustrations; he had from the beginning experienced extreme poverty, privation, and drudgery. With letters in hand from an American he had met in London, one, Benjamin Franklin, Paine set off for Philadelphia arriving there in December of 1774. Little did Paine know how fortunate he was to have a letter of introduction signed by Ben Franklin; he was soon employed as the editor of the Pennsylvania Magazine . He wrote, condemning it all: of Negro slavery, of the political condition of women, of the lack of copy right laws, of the cruelty to animals, of the custom of dueling, and of war as a means to settle international disputes. These particulars of the human condition meant little to anyone in those years. Another matter, however, was the question of American patriotism. In the spring of 1775 came the battles of Concord, Lexington, and Bunker Hill. "[This country was] set on fire about my ears almost the moment I got into it." All along he was able to spread his views, as he was easily able to do in his journalistic position, that it was common sense to support the colonies in their fight with England and to this effect he put out a small pamphlet, Common Sense : it was to effect a powerful change in the minds of many men, and won, at a critical time, a number of American colonists over to the cause of independence. Within a few months after the appearance of

The Thomas Paine Library Thomas Paine was one of the recognized legends in the founding of this country. He was an author and revolutionary activist who took part in three revolutions. His role in American history, as well as world history, is monumental. John Adams said: " Without the pen of Paine, the sword of Washington would have been wielded in vain. " Paine's impact on philosophy and politics helped mold the age of democratic revolutions and reverberates down to this day. (From the Bordentown Historical Society) Common Sense Age Of Reason The American Crisis Works by Thomas Paine You can Buy: Common Sense "These are the times that try men's souls," begins Thomas Paine's Common Sense , the impassioned pamphlet that helped ignite the American Revolution. Published in Philadelphia in January of 1776, Common Sense sold 150,000 copies almost immediately. A powerful piece of propaganda, it attacked the idea of a hereditary monarchy, dismissed the chance for reconciliation with England, and outlined the economic benefits of independence while espousing equality of rights among citizens. Paine fanned a flame that was already burning, but many historians argue that his work unified dissenting voices and persuaded patriots that the American Revolution was not only necessary, but an epochal step in world history.
