I like to post quotes from the "founders," and watch modern conservatives cringe.

For example, the 'Rights of Man" by Tom Paine is not what the right has been told by their revisionist masters who parse and edit him to make him sound like Limbaugh or Huckaby:

“When it can be said by any country in the world, my poor are happy, neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them, my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars, the aged are not in want, the taxes are not oppressive, the rational world is my friend because I am the friend of happiness. When these things can be said, then may that country boast its constitution and government.

Independence is my happiness, the world is my country and my religion is to do good”
- Tomas Paine

Knowing what we know now, would you have had anything to do with the founding of the United States?'
