Do what the mob says and you won't get hurt. I was wondering.
UPDATE: With respects to the Tea Party types, I've long wondered if "common sense" wasn't a grotesque warping of Thomas Paine, basically to effect of rebellion against the "tyranny"--of the rule of law. For values of "the rule of law" equal to "when Republicans aren't running the government."

The Tea Baggers were definitely trying to co-opt the Founders as 100% aligned with them (similarly to the Confederates claim of the 2nd American Revolution). I vividly recall earlyyoutube videos of the Fake Tom Paine (Bob Basso) just laying out rightwing agitprop and Tea Party gibberish while dressed like the author of "Common Sense". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFrKuhV4Z2o
