The Age of Reason

One senses that British radical and American revolutionary Thomas Paine (above), author of “The Age of Reason,” would have appreciated Barack Obama.
It would have been perhaps much the same kind of APPRECIATION for Obama that’s been evidenced at this weekend’s annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Chicago.

“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”
The late Dr. Adrian Rogers

What does that have to do with Thomas Paine, snuss? Nothing. It seems you are parrotting the fearmnongering conservative graffiti that the liberals are a bunch of Robin Hoods out to redistribute everyone’s wealth.
If you want to take a look at economic success look at Clinton. If you want to take a look at failure, look at Bush.
