Videos For A Monday Morning

Just a few videos to start off your work week. First off  Mr. Paine loudly shouts "no" to amnesty on principles, not politics.

Amnesty Madness





Next on our list is Pat Condell speaking his mind on the trial of Geert Wilders.


The crooked judges of Amsterdam



While some don't like his views on Christianity and Judaism, he still speaks the truth about Islam louder than many others.

This one I call much ado about nothing.  The Tebow commercial.


Pam &Tim Tebow in Focus On The Family Commercial



I thought this was an anti-abortion commercial?  It was more like Pat Tebow was selling Campbell's Soup.

Finally this short film from Aish.

I am Israel!




I hope you enjoyed my selection of the day.  If you did, then leave a comment below.

Have a good week!

Thomas Paine on to Washington



Hat tip to Holger Awakens

He is back and is speaking louder than ever.

I am talking about Bob Basso who has been portraying Early American Patriot: Thomas Paine. Now he is asking all of us to meet in Washington, DC for A Million Patriot March.

Imagine 1 million Patriotic Americans, angrier than a wet cat, marching on Washington. The MSM will have to finally respect that, or face the consequences of our rath.

This is the follow up to the local and regional Tea Parties.

We will take back our nation!

Common Sense by Thomas Paine, 2008 version

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.

In "Common Sense" Thomas Paine wrote:
Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamities is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer! Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built on the ruins of the bowers of paradise. For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform, and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises him out of two evils to choose the least. Wherefore, security being the true design and end of government, it unanswerably follows that whatever form thereof appears most likely to ensure it to us, with the least expense and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others.

Here then is the origin and rise of government; namely, a mode rendered necessary by the inability of moral virtue to govern the world; here too is the design and end of government, viz., freedom and security. And however our eyes may be dazzled with snow, or our ears deceived by sound; however prejudice may warp our wills, or interest darken our understanding, the simple voice of nature and of reason will say, it is right.

I draw my idea of the form of government from a principle in nature, which no art can overturn, viz., that the more simple any thing is, the less liable it is to be disordered, and the easier repaired when disordered; and with this maxim in view, I offer a few remarks on the so much boasted constitution of England. That it was noble for the dark and slavish times in which it was erected is granted. When the world was overrun with tyranny the least therefrom was a glorious rescue. But that it is imperfect, subject to convulsions, and incapable of producing what it seems to promise, is easily demonstrated.

Absolute governments (though the disgrace of human nature) have this advantage with them, that they are simple; if the people suffer, they know the head from which their suffering springs, know likewise the remedy, and are not bewildered by a variety of causes and cures. But the constitution of England is so exceedingly complex, that the nation may suffer for years together without being able to discover in which part the fault lies, some will say in one and some in another, and every political physician will advise a different medicine.

The sun never shined on a cause of greater worth. 'Tis not the affair of a city, a country, a province, or a kingdom, but of a continent- of at least one eighth part of the habitable globe. 'Tis not the concern of a day, a year, or an age; posterity are virtually involved in the contest, and will be more or less affected, even to the end of time, by the proceedings now. Now is the seed time of continental union, faith and honor. The least fracture now will be like a name engraved with the point of a pin on the tender rind of a young oak; The wound will enlarge with the tree, and posterity read it in full grown characters.
I have often wondered what Mr. Paine would think of the situation of America today. And have found it in this video:
