Thomas Paine National Historical Association 983 North Avenue New Rochelle, NY 10804 Home Membership Events Programs ... About Us The Philosophy of Paine (Thomas A. Edison ) The Philosophy of Paine by Thomas A. Edison June 7, 1925 Tom Paine has almost no influence on present-day thinking in the United States because he is unknown to the average citizen. Perhaps I might say right here that this is a national loss and a deplorable lack of understanding concerning the man who first proposed and first wrote those impressive words, 'the United States of America.' But it is hardly strange. Paine's teachings have been debarred from schools everywhere and his views of life misrepresented until his memory is hidden in shadows, or he is looked upon as of unsound mind. We never had a sounder intelligence in this Republic. He was the equal of Washington in making American liberty possible. Where Washington performed Paine devised and wrote. The deeds of one in the Weld were matched by the deeds of the other with his pen. Washington himself appreciated Paine at his true worth. Franklin knew him for a great patriot and clear thinker. He was a friend and confidant of Jefferson, and the two must often have debated the academic and practical phases of liberty. I consider Paine our greatest political thinker. As we have not advanced, and perhaps never shall advance, beyond the Declaration and Constitution, so Paine has had no successors who extended his principles. Although the present generation knows little of Paine's writings, and although he has almost no influence upon contemporary thought, Americans of the future will justly appraise his work. I am certain of it. Truth is governed by natural laws and cannot be denied. Paine spoke truth with a peculiarly clear and forceful ring. Therefore time must balance the scales. The Declaration and the Constitution expressed in form Paine's theory of political rights. He worked in Philadelphia at the time that the first document was written, and occupied a position of intimate contact with the nation's leaders when they framed the Constitution.

The Thomas Paine Project The Thomas Paine Project is dedicated to the notion that the Bill of Rights is the American people's Ten Commandments of Freedom. As such, it should be regarded as inviolate. You don't bend it, tweak it or ignore it for a little while When politicians and police officers enter into public service, they swear an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the U.S. against all enemies, foreign and domestic." Their oath and allegiance is not to country, or state, or government. They swear allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America. Unfortunately, few politicians and even fewer police officers honor that oath. Today, officals who are sworn to protect the Constitution and serve the public are actively engaged in the destruction our civil liberties. The Bill of Rights is the only protection "we the people" have against the excesses of an abusive government. There are no Constitutional Police. It is the responsibility of you and I and people like us to defend our rights. IF WE DON'T DO IT, WHO WILL?

"I know not whether any man in the world has had more influence on its inhabitants or affairs for the last thirty years than Tom Paine." So wrote John Adams in 1805. In an age of political pamphleteering, Paine had become the most influential pamphleteer of all. His writings remain classic statements of the egalitarian, democratic faith of the Age of Revolution. Paine's origins lay among the lower orders of eighteenth-century England. The son of a Quaker corset maker, he practiced his father's trade and then worked as an excise tax collector. His father's religion undoubtedly influenced Paine's humanitarianism, and a strong interest in Newtonian science helped him develop a hatred for governments that rested on hereditary privilege. Paine immigrated to Philadelphia in 1774 and soon became acquainted with advocates of political change. In January 1776, he published Common Sense

After the Revolution Paine returned to England, where he defended the French Revolution in his Rights of Man . Charged with libel, Paine fled to France, where he was elected to the National Convention but was later imprisoned. While in prison, he wrote Age of Reason , which upset many with its deist religious views.

Fortunately, the Supreme Court of the United States researched the religion clauses of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution long before it made decisions about such matters as required prayer ( Engel v.

HAS SCIENCE FOUND GOD? A Talk by Dr. Norman F. Hall Given on September 15, 1996 at a meeting of the Humanist Fellowship of San Diego at the Thomas Paine Coffeehouse Good morning. I am Dr. Norman Hall, a scientist. My doctoral training was in molecular genetics, and I have worked professionally as a cardiac biochemist and a physical oceanographer. When I tell you that I am a scientist, one among the many things that means is that I won't knowingly lie to you. When I give you my opinions, I will take responsibility for them. I will not, as do many religious believers, attribute my own ideas to God, implying that they are timeless and universal truths. Although I will endeavor to speak the truth, as I see it, neverthless, nothing I say should be taken for the Truth (with a capital T). Everything that I believe, as a scientist, everything I say, is provisional, and the possibility exists that it may be mistaken. I wouln't say it, however, if I did not believe it to be very probably true. That's the best I can do, and I firmly believe that is the best anyone can do. Being a scientist also means that I have great faith in science as a system of obtaining communicable knowledge that is very likely to be true. Not only is it the best system I know of, it's the only system. When people tell me that they have some way of obtaining true knowledge that is outside the realm of competence of science, and that I should believe that knowledge to be true, I am not only doubtful, I become suspicious, wary, and concerned.

Here is what they endorse: They want to issue welfare permits, so that whoever has a welfare permit is allowed to collect welfare payments from other people within a given area - even if that person is able-bodied, and even if that person has a high income. The welfare permits can also be bought and sold. Those welfare permits sound absurd, don't they? Yet that is exactly what many libertarians advocate.

THOMAS PAINE .............. BIOGRAPHY .............. Four years later, he published part one of Rights of Man, followed by part two the next year. In Rights of Man, Paine replied to Edmund Burke's criticism of the French Revolution. Paine's treatise was condemned in England, and he was outlawed, so he moved to France. Without ever learning how to read or speak French, Paine participated in French politics, helping to draft a constitution, which was never adopted, and serving as one of two foreigners on the National Convention. In 1793, Paine was imprisoned in the Luxembourg Prison, where he lived in fear of execution. James Monroe, American Ambassador to France, secured Paine's release after the French Terror ended. Nevertheless, Paine publicly denounced the Washington administration in 1796 for having failed to help him. After his release, Paine completed The Age of Reason, an attack on revealed religion, on the basis of which he was accused of being an atheist. He published Agrarian Justice in 1797, and returned to America five years later, where he was ignored by the intellectual community. By 1809, he was interred on his farm in New Rochelle, New York, where he died. Radical reformer William Cobbett wished to return Paine's bones to England for a memorial burial ten years after his death, but lost the remains after they were exhumed.

FICHA Nacionalidad: Gran Bretaña Thetford 29-1-1737 - Nueva York 8-7-1809 Desciende de una familia con pocos medios, por lo que apenas pudo estudiar. Desde entonces desempeñó diversos oficios. Atraído por la literatura nunca dejó de ampliar sus conocimientos en este campo. En 1774 emprende un viaje a Filadelfia. Allí entra a trabajar como director de "Pennsylvania Magazine or American Museum", una revista en la que criticó las prácticas esclavistas. Dos años después saldría a la luz su ensayo "Common Sense", donde realiza un estudio de la situación política en Estados Unidos, al tiempo que muestra su apoyo a la independencia . A partir de entonces publicaría un sinfín de libros en la misma línea que el anterior. En Gran Bretaña edita "Los derechos del hombre", una narración que le costaría el exilio a Francia. En este país formó parte de la Convención , oponiéndose a la ejecución de Luis XVII . Considerado antirrevolucionario le hicieron prisionero durante un año. Entonces abandonó la política. En estos años inicia su obra "La Edad de la Razón", una crítica contra el cristianismo. Es autor de una extensa producción literaria.
