Download or read book A Common Sense Manifesto With a Nod to Thomas Paine Not Karl Marx written by Max Skidmore, Sr. and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Common Sense Manifesto provides an examination, both broad and deep, into the current political situation in America, and how it came to be. It chronicles the disturbing deterioration of the Republican Party into an extreme and corrupt mechanism ready to receive and incorporate a destructive force that it welcomed wholeheartedly when it appeared in the bombastic, and completely self-centered, form of Donald Trump. Calling for a "blue tsunami," the Manifesto outlines the way forward, out of the insanity. It notes political realities and thus accepts the need to work within the two-party system. It argues for a rational and comprehensive "Modern Political Economy" that recognizes environmental imperatives, corrects severe income and political inequality, expands Social Security, implements universal health care, protects the rights and dignity of all the people, improves America's sagging infrastructure and transportation up to world-class and responsible standards, and ensures full participation in the national bounty in ways that protect the world and all its current and future inhabitants.
Download or read book Manual of Reformed Stoicism written by Piotr Stankiewicz and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a manifesto of reformed Stoicism. It proposes a system of life which is bullet-proof, universal, viable and effective in every cosmic setting. It holds in every possible universe, under any government and within any economic system. We can be reformed Stoics no matter what we believe in. Reformed Stoicism is about enjoying and exercising our agency. In other words, it’s about the flow of making autonomous and right decisions, and about celebrating our ability to make them. With no reliance on nature, with the recalibration of metaphysical positions, with skepticism towards grand discourses and universal answers, with an emphasis on the usefulness instead of truthfulness of narratives, with no reference to the vanity argument, with criticism of both conservative and ascetic misinterpretations of Stoicism, with an overall softer and more empathic approach, we can no longer be defined by the generic term “Stoicism”. Our time, in short, calls for a fresh interpretation of Stoicism. It is time for a new generation of Stoics. Thus: reformed Stoicism.
Download or read book Manifesto of Common Sense written by Bruce C. Rosetto and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans are being led down this primrose path unknowingly as politicians disguise, and even hide, the consequences of the policies they are pushing on America. The title of this book is a play on the "Manifesto of the Communist Party" written in 1848 by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engel in London. The reason I chose this title is because I believe America is becoming a socialist society. Signs of communist tendencies are appearing in more and more of our politicians. Americans may ultimately choose to adopt policies and philosophies that are consistent with the beliefs of Marx and Engel, but they should do so knowingly and with an educated intent of adopting this type of government.
Download or read book Common Sense 2 0 written by Authors Anonymous and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-09-25 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of this work wish to acknowledge first and foremost the sacrifices made by Our Veterans, the American Patriots who have served in our Armed Forces since the Inception and Founding of our Great Nation. It is because of their service and sacrifices that we, as a Nation, enjoy the freedoms and liberties that we do today. Without their sacrifice and service, we would not today be blessed with the Greatest World Leader America has ever known--DONALD J. TRUMP. Is Donald J. Trump perfect? In a simple word--YES. He is Exactly the Leader this Country NEEDED in the disastrous aftermath of Barrack Hussein Obama, a.k.a. Barry Soetoro. This Manifesto isn't about Backwards Barry, though. Real Americans know the damage the Beltway Bumbler caused, not just in our own land, but all around the whole world. It would suffice to say that Barack Hussein Obama was the worst President we have ever had since Herbert Hoover and the most divisive incompetent since James Buchanan. To anyone with historical sense, knowledge, and a passion for Keeping America Great, this is Common Sense. To the Misguided Media and the Liberal Left who infect our nation with their lies, Hussein Obama might as well be the second coming of Lincoln. This Manifesto is a direct challenge to the Liberal Left who so ardently try to besmirch Our President. We see you, Loser Lefties. We know your garbage tactics. You will not win. You cannot win, because you cannot suppress the Truth from True American Patriots, no matter how hard you try to spin it. Your fictional world will eventually come crashing down around you as it always, without fail, does. Your true colors will be revealed for all to see, and your hypocrisy and blatant Anti-Americanism will be on display and you will be judged accordingly, not only in the eyes of your Fellow Americans, but also in the eyes of God come Judgment Day. This Manifesto is a presentation of the important facts as we see them, and as every Good, Patriotic American should see them. The Truth will always come out. We hope to shine a light on this Truth, and give hope to every American Patriot that our Great Nation will continue to flourish with another 4 years for President Donald J. Trump as our leader. The authors don't hope to convert anyone here, only to enlighten and give Hope and Faith to those who support the American Patriot Donald J. Trump. Should someone read this and come to their senses, then we will have done our job far better than we anticipated. To the Good and True Patriots reading this Manifesto: we thank you for your support. Without YOU, none of this would matter. Without your undying and unwavering Patriotic Spirit, all would be lost. Keep the Faith, Patriots. Be in Good Health and in Good Cheer for: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. WE STAND UNITED WITH YOU IN OUR VOCAL, UNEQUIVOCAL, AND ABSOLUTE SUPPORT OF THE GREAT AMERICAN PATRIOT PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.

Download or read book The Death of Common Sense written by Philip K. Howard and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “We need a new idea of how to govern. The current system is broken. Law is supposed to be a framework for humans to make choices, not the replacement for free choice.” So notes Philip K. Howard in the new Afterword to his explosive manifesto The Death of Common Sense. Here Howard offers nothing less than a fresh, lucid, practical operating system for modern democracy. America is drowning—in law, lawsuits, and nearly endless red tape. Before acting or making a decision, we often abandon our best instincts. We pause, we worry, we equivocate, and then we divert our energy into trying to protect ourselves. Filled with one too many examples of bureaucratic overreach, The Death of Common Sense demonstrates how we—and our country—can at last get back on track.
Download or read book Common Sense written by Thomas Paine and published by anboco. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paine marshaled moral and political arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government. It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution, and became an immediate sensation. As of 2006, it remains the all-time best selling American title. Common Sense made public a persuasive and impassioned case for independence, which before the pamphlet had not yet been given serious intellectual consideration. He connected independence with common dissenting Protestant beliefs as a means to present a distinctly American political identity, structuring Common Sense as if it were a sermon. Historian Gordon S. Wood described Common Sense as "the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era".

Download or read book Glenn Beck s Common Sense written by Glenn Beck and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-06-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glenn Beck, the New York Times bestselling author of The Great Reset, revisits Thomas Paine's Common Sense. In any era, great Americans inspire us to reach our full potential. They know with conviction what they believe within themselves. They understand that all actions have consequences. And they find commonsense solutions to the nation’s problems. One such American, Thomas Paine, was an ordinary man who changed the course of history by penning Common Sense, the concise 1776 masterpiece in which, through extraordinarily straightforward and indisputable arguments, he encouraged his fellow citizens to take control of America’s future—and, ultimately, her freedom. Nearly two and a half centuries later, those very freedoms once again hang in the balance. And now, Glenn Beck revisits Paine’s powerful treatise with one purpose: to galvanize Americans to see past government’s easy solutions, two-party monopoly, and illogical methods and take back our great country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the story of one Black American Communist who became disillusioned with Communism and penned this cautionary tale of the perils of his experience. According to the author: "Ten years I labored in the cause of Communism. I was a dedicated "comrade." All my talents and efforts were zealously used to bring about the triumph of Communism in America and throughout the world. To me, the end of capitalism would mark the beginning of an interminable period of plenty, peace, prosperity and universal comradeship. All racial and class differences and conflicts would end forever after the liquidation of the capitalists, their government and their supporters. ..Little did I realize until I was deeply enmeshed in the Red Conspiracy, that just and seeming grievances are exploited to transform idealism into a cold and ruthless weapon against the capitalist system-that this is the end toward which all the communist efforts among Negroes are directed. Indeed, I had entered the red conspiracy in the vain belief that it was the way to a "new, better and superior" world system of society. Ten years later, thoroughly disillusioned, I abandoned communism."
Download or read book Common Sense The Rights of Man and Other Essential Writings of ThomasPaine written by Thomas Paine and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A volume of Thomas Paine's most essential works, showcasing one of American history's most eloquent proponents of democracy. Upon publication, Thomas Paine’s modest pamphlet Common Sense shocked and spurred the foundling American colonies of 1776 to action. It demanded freedom from Britain—when even the most fervent patriots were only advocating tax reform. Paine’s daring prose paved the way for the Declaration of Independence and, consequently, the Revolutionary War. For “without the pen of Paine,” as John Adams said, “the sword of Washington would have been wielded in vain.” Later, his impassioned defense of the French Revolution, Rights of Man, caused a worldwide sensation. Napoleon, for one, claimed to have slept with a copy under his pillow, recommending that “a statue of gold should be erected to [Paine] in every city in the universe.” Here in one volume, these two complete works are joined with selections from Pain's other major essays, “The Crisis,” “The Age of Reason,” and “Agrarian Justice.” Includes a Foreword by Jack Fruchtman Jr. and an Introduction by Sidney Hook

Download or read book Common Sense written by Thomas Paine and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2004-03-16 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Common Sense was published in January 1776, it sold, by some estimates, a stunning 150,000 copies in the colonies. What exactly made this pamphlet so appealing? This is a question not only about the state of mind of Paine’s audience, but also about the role of public opinion and debate, the function of the press, and the shape of political culture in the colonies. This Broadview edition of Paine’s famous pamphlet attempts to reconstruct the context in which it appeared and to recapture the energy and passion of the dispute over the political future of the British colonies in North America. Included along with the text of Common Sense are some of the contemporary arguments for and against the Revolution by John Dickinson, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson; materials from the debate that followed the pamphlet’s publication showing the difficulty of the choices facing the colonists; the Declaration of Independence; and the Pennsylvania Constitution of 1776.
Download or read book Common Sense written by Sophia Rosenfeld and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common sense has always been a cornerstone of American politics. In 1776, Tom Paine’s vital pamphlet with that title sparked the American Revolution. And today, common sense—the wisdom of ordinary people, knowledge so self-evident that it is beyond debate—remains a powerful political ideal, utilized alike by George W. Bush’s aw-shucks articulations and Barack Obama’s down-to-earth reasonableness. But far from self-evident is where our faith in common sense comes from and how its populist logic has shaped modern democracy. Common Sense: A Political History is the first book to explore this essential political phenomenon. The story begins in the aftermath of England’s Glorious Revolution, when common sense first became a political ideal worth struggling over. Sophia Rosenfeld’s accessible and insightful account then wends its way across two continents and multiple centuries, revealing the remarkable individuals who appropriated the old, seemingly universal idea of common sense and the new strategic uses they made of it. Paine may have boasted that common sense is always on the side of the people and opposed to the rule of kings, but Rosenfeld demonstrates that common sense has been used to foster demagoguery and exclusivity as well as popular sovereignty. She provides a new account of the transatlantic Enlightenment and the Age of Revolutions, and offers a fresh reading on what the eighteenth century bequeathed to the political ferment of our own time. Far from commonsensical, the history of common sense turns out to be rife with paradox and surprise.
