If the emperor has no clothes, we must acknowledge it. If we made mistakes, we must correct them
During the darkest days of the American Revolution, Thomas Paine, the British-born American political philosopher, wrote of his adopted country: “These are the times that try men’s souls.” He was referring to the hard choices that were facing the colonists.
History is filled with hard choices. They are often made hard by fear — fear of making the wrong choice, fear of chaos, fear of loss.
Paine argued that a true patriot could love his country and despise its government because he understood that government negates liberty, and liberty — not government — is our lifeblood.
