In 1776 one of our founding fathers Thomas Paine, anonymously published a pamphlet entitled “Common Sense” which challenged the authority of the British government and the royal monarchy. The plain language that Paine used resonated with the common man and was the first publication to openly push for independence from Great Britain.
Maintaining “the cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind,” Paine passionately argued for independence from Great Britain, and painted the picture of a prosperous future, if freed from the oppressive and economically draining English government.
Now two hundred and thirty three years later, America once again finds itself being taxed without representation, and being drained economically by an oppressive government. This time, it’s own government run amuck.
What would Thomas Paine say about America’s plight today?
Here’s a modern day Thomas Paine with his thoughts on…
“Common Sense” and the need for “The 2nd American Revolution”
And his thoughts on a “We The People” Stimulus Package…

This Bob Basso’s message deserves serious consideration by every thinking patriot. Here’s my own take on him, make of it what you will:

Psychegram,
Points well taken. I couldn’t agree with you more regarding Obama’s compulsory service bill.

No one needs to agree 100% with every single point Basso makes in his video. I don’t, and I don’t know anyone who does.
My main point was simply this…
“Now two hundred and thirty three years later, America once again finds itself being taxed without representation, and being drained economically by an oppressive government. This time, it’s own government run amuck.”
And now it’s time to take action.

we need revolt if we are going to have
change to bring the country back to
the foundation on which it was formed. Get rid of the liberal judges.
Get prayer back in the schools. Lots to be done. Get Obama out.
