In 1776, one man's words--and the determination of American patriots--allowed our nation to survive its first crisis. We need to revisit this Founding Father's words right now. Review--> #BookThreads #BookSky #BookReview #TomPainesWar #StMartinsPress #FoundingFather #NetGalley #ARCReview

“An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws.” —Thomas Paine

“A constitution defines and limits the powers of the government it creates. It therefore follows, as a natural and also a logical result, that the governmental exercise of any power not authorized by the constitution is an assumed power, and therefore illegal.”
Thomas Paine

“No country can be called free which is governed by an absolute power; and it matters not whether it be an absolute royal power or an absolute legislative power, as the consequences will be the same to the people.”

Why do Americans ask themselves more what the founding fathers wanted in terms of gun control then what they can figure would help ppl
like that children don't die by guns at school
?
as if that ominous mission or purpose bestowed upon them through their founding documents isore important as their ability to think and find feasible solutions.
But since it really is the case one has to concede that purpose is paramount.
Only, what really is that mission that justifies the murder of children by other children?

Hero of the #AmericanRevolution -
2/23 Who is the greatest American #president? Most short lists include:
#GeorgeWashington, the visionary #RevolutionaryWar hero, #FoundingFather and 1st president. Quite the resume.
#FranklinDRoosevelt, the only four-term president and architect of the #NewDeal. No slouch either.
However, the nod usually goes to #AbrahamLincoln. After all, "he freed the slaves" and kept the Union together through #CivilWar victory.
And, he was...a #Republican!

Robert Morris, the wealthiest man in the colonies (just ahead of George Washington), put his business interests on the line to join the Revolution. After the British Navy seized most of his shipping fleet, he humbly declined to state the exact amount of money he lost, for it might sound like bragging. His quip amused me - so I turned it into a short article.
