A Place for Political Commentary on local and national issues. The point of view is mine because today neither major political party has America’s best interest at heart. Politicians on both sides of the Isle are corrupt, but even worse, most of them are morally bankrupt. You're welcome to comment.... On the whole, I prefer not to be lectured on patriotism by those who keep offshore mail drops in order to avoid paying their taxes.

Thomas Paine.
I have nothing to base my assumptions on except his published works. It is impossible to say with complete certainty that Thomas Paine supported any party. The only words he reportedly uttered were printed in his A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice"Character is much easier kept than recovered". I'll leave you with this "Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one".
