Is this the same thing Beck played on his radio show today?

Beck went on saying he's rewriting Common Sense for the current time but I wonder just how honest he's being about having the idea. In other words, I wonder if he really got 'his' idea from Common Sense Revisited that was released last year.

I believe it is the same one. I didn't hear the part 2 about universal service that's definitely a step away from liberty not towards. So much for common sense. ;(

Yeah, pity he buys the official 911 story, and wants 2 years of service, and abolishing the electoral college. Apparently not much of a Thomas Paine really. Nice vid though. Viral potential.

oh ok. I was referring to OP's link.

His videos seem to put forward a very nationalistic/protectionistic version of the constitution... Too bad he couldn't have put forward a more strict libertarian message and talked less about immigration issues (he says he wants E-verify to be funded...) and involuntary servitude. As RP says, if you dislike illegal immigration - strike the root - get rid of all the welfare and freebies.

If we're going to change the way voting works, I'd like to see state governments elect senators again. That would strike a blow for states rights.

What a pompous bag of wind. This guy doesn't hold a candle to Thomas Paines' Intellect or Humanity.

For anyone who thinks this trash was a good take on Thomas Paine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfRIIM9cRQc)
