The Limits of Reason#RTTBROS #Nightlight #USA250 #Nation250 #America250The Limits of ReasonThere is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.— Proverbs 14:12THE STORYThomas Paine believed in God. He just did not believe in much else.His 1776 pamphlet Common Sense was one of the most influential documents in American history. Washington ordered it read aloud to his troops. It sold hundreds of thousands of copies in a population of three million. Thomas Paine lit a fire that no one else had been able to start.And yet Paine himself demonstrated with painful clarity what happens when the light of reason is mistaken for the Light of the World. He went to France after the Revolution and celebrated the French Revolution, which devolved into the Reign of Terror. He was eventually imprisoned by the very revolutionaries he had championed.He spent his final years in poverty and near-obscurity in America. When he died in 1809, only six people attended his funeral. Reason, unmoored from revelation, is a fire that eventually burns its own house down.THE REFLECTIONThis devotion requires honesty rather than sentiment. Thomas Paine was brilliant, courageous, and genuinely committed to human freedom. He was also a cautionary tale.The difference between the American Revolution and the French Revolution is not primarily political. It is theological. The American founders built their case for liberty on the foundation of God-given rights, "endowed by their Creator," Jefferson wrote. The French revolutionaries removed the Creator and placed human reason on the throne. The results were catastrophic. They always are.Proverbs 14:12 is not a pessimistic verse. It is a protective one. There is a way that seems right, logical, enlightened, reasonable. But if that way does not reckon with the nature of God and the nature of man, it leads somewhere dark.The American experiment succeeded in proportion to its faith. That is not a coincidence. It is a principle.THE PATRIOT'S PRAYERPray It Forward: Ask God today to show you an area where you have been trusting your own reasoning over the clear teaching of Scripture, and ask for the grace to submit it to Him.★ ★ ★

Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by MW Bro Rev Thomas Sherrard Roy, PGM – MA, and is brought to us by MW Bro Russ Charvonia, PGM – CA. Five delegates from Massachusetts were members of the Second Continental Congress which adopted the Declaration of Independence and signed that document. They were John and Samuel Adams, Eibridge Gerry, John Hancock, and Robert Treat Paine. While Masonic membership has been claimed for Elbridge Gerry, a claim of doubtful validity, the only Massachusetts Masons we can be sure of were John Hancock and Robert Treat Paine. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.
Athenian Democracy provides innovative readings of ancient theorists to reveal both the complexity of democracy's achievements and its limits. In Athenian Democracy: Modern Mythmakers and Ancient Theorists (U Notre Dame Press, 2026), noted political scientist Arlene W. Saxonhouse offers fresh and provocative explorations of ancient political theorists, lending new insights about democracy's foundations and principles. These insights are more relevant than ever in a moment when the viability of democratic regimes is under scrutiny. Saxonhouse provides an in-depth discussion of the modern mythmakers (Hobbes, Paine, Hamilton, Mill, and Arendt, among others) who, in praising or excoriating Athenian democracy, have in fact distorted it to support their own assessments of democracy. She then offers detailed reinterpretations of the writings on democracy of four ancient theorists who had directly experienced life in the first democratic regime: Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, and Aristotle. Saxonhouse argues that the mythmaking that often attends our views of Athenian democracy—whether as a flawed, slaveholding regime that fostered factions and oppressed women or as an ideal regime of egalitarian and participatory democracy—blinds us to the deeper understanding of democracies that these ancient theorists can offer. Arlene W. Saxonhouse is the Caroline Robbins Collegiate Professor of Political Science, Emerita, at the University of Michigan. She is the author of numerous books and articles dealing with ancient Greek political thought, including Free Speech and Democracy in Ancient Athens and Fear of Diversity: The Birth of Political Science in Ancient Greek Thought. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message“These are the times that try men's souls” still lands like a hammer and we use it as a mirror for the hardest civic question a free country faces: when is war truly necessary? As America nears 250 years, we go back to December 1776, when Washington's army is collapsing and Thomas Paine writes The American Crisis. Washington has Paine's words read aloud before the Delaware crossing and the Battle of Trenton, and that moment sets the theme: the difference between the sunshine patriot who shows up when it's easy and the citizen who stands firm when it costs something.From there, we draw a sharp line between wars of necessity and wars of convenience. We honor the unavoidable sacrifices of the American Revolution, the Civil War, World War II, and the long vigilance of the Cold War, then ask what changes when intelligence is wrong or manipulated, objectives are unclear, and the nation comes home with grief, debt, and eroded credibility. We also revisit Dwight D Eisenhower's warning about the military-industrial complex and how the machinery of war can pull a nation toward conflict even when no conflict is necessary.We don't argue for isolationism. We argue for peace through strength and for the moral clarity to stay selective about sending America's sons and daughters into harm's way. Paine's standard is simple and severe: the fight has to be real, it has to matter, and it has to make room for freedom. Key Points from the Episode: • Paine's “these are the times that try men's souls” as a leadership weapon before Trenton • the “sunshine patriot” versus the citizen who serves when it costs something • wars of necessity through the Revolution, Civil War, World War II, and the Cold War • the danger of overstated threats, manipulated intelligence, and unclear objectives • Eisenhower's warning about the military-industrial complex and war's momentum • why needless wars erode strength, shatter families, and drain resources at home • peace through strength without isolationism or wishful thinking • the reluctant warrior as a patriotic standard for the next 250 years If you like this episode, be sure to share with someone else, uh, someone who needs to hear it.

In this special episode, recorded at the Neukom Center's Rule of Law Speaker Series, Judge J. Michael Luttig, former Fourth Circuit judge and ex-General Counsel of Boeing, discusses a looming constitutional crises facing the United States. Drawing on Lincoln, Paine, and Churchill, Judge Luttig argues that the Trump administration's actions represent not the exploitation of constitutional vulnerabilities, but unconstitutional conduct that federal courts have repeatedly struck down. He expresses particular alarm over the Supreme Court's use of the shadow docket to stay lower court decisions without briefing, argument, or written reasoning — a practice he characterizes as a crisis within the Court itself. Judge Luttig also addresses the DOJ's institutional corruption, Congress's abdication of war powers and tariff authority, and the Supreme Court's sweeping immunity ruling in Trump v. United States. Throughout, he challenges law students to treat their professional oath as a solemn civic obligation in a moment of national testing. Links: Honorable J.

In this Disaster Strikes segment of the Crux podcast, host Kaycee McIntosh recounts the November 17, 2025 tragedy on Torres del Paine's O Circuit at John Garner Pass, where a forecasted cyclone hit hurricane-force gusts up to 193 km/h and whiteout conditions. A group of nine independent hikers—many experienced and including multiple physicians—attempted the crossing after being told by Los Perros refugio staff conditions were “normal for Patagonia,” while no CONAF rangers staffed the mandatory checkpoint due to election-day staffing shortages. Survivors improvised rescue with satellite devices, makeshift stretchers, and CPR in the hut, but five people died of hypothermia: Victoria Bond, Christina Calvillo Tovar, Julian Garcia Pimentel, Nadine Lache, and Andreas Vine. The episode details delayed official response, survivor-led self-evacuation, an ongoing negligence investigation, and calls for ranger staffing, emergency planning, better communications, and hiker tracking. 00:00 Disaster Strikes Intro 00:47 Ominous Hut Warning 01:33 What Went Wrong Tease 02:28 O Circuit Overview 05:09 Patagonia Weather Reality 06:16 Safety Systems Gaps 07:57 John Garner Pass Danger 09:21 Nine Hikers Meet 11:51 Los Perros Forecast Failure 14:17 Dawn Departure Decision 15:01 Point of No Return 16:49 Whiteout Chaos Above Treeline 18:08 Warnings Turn Some Back 19:00 Hurricane Force Trap 20:01 Whiteout Hypothermia Spiral 21:16 Falls And Descent Decisions 22:23 Hut Turns Triage Center 23:18 Stretcher Rescue And CPR 26:12 Missing Hikers Go Public 28:54 Bodies Found And Airlifts 30:13 How Did This Happen 32:49 Ranger Checkpoint Failure 34:50 Survivors Demand Reforms 37:50 Human Spirit And Aftermath 39:14 Closing Reflections REFERENCES PRIMARY SOURCES Dapcevich, Madison & Zonshayn, David.

Democratic Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. You likely have heard he may run for president. But did you also hear him talk about America's 250th birthday? I recall as a young State Representative looking up at this mural and seeing the likes of Ben Franklin, Thomas Paine, and Thaddeus Stevens. These are our elders and their example should guide and inspire us. Men like Franklin and Paine and others gathered in Philadelphia 250 years ago to begin this grand experiment in the greatest system of governance the world has ever seen. That was Governor Shapiro's annual address to the Pennsylvania legislature. February 3rd, 2026. And it turns out, many other governors — some also potentially running for president — also used their state of the state address to talk about America 250. Which governors mentioned America 250 in their state of the state address? What was their big message about the country's big birthday? What did the governors say about their own state's role in the birth of America? And what new fun facts about American history did governors teach us?

Part 2 of 2: A special delivery of Paine! In honor of America's 250th birthday, we are celebrating with the forgotten founding father, Thomas Paine. Common Sense is the foundational text of the American Revolution. Changing the perception of early Americans about the cause of fighting against the British Empire from a lack of representation to the cause of America as an asylum for mankind. Where all are welcome and accepted. This is the first half of Paine's "Common Sense."

I had the privilege of interviewing Erin Bates Paine several years back on the podcast. She shared what God had been teaching her about having a quiet, contented heart in the midst of the busyness and demands of motherhood.

When Thomas Aikenhead was hanged in 1697 for questioning the Bible, it was the last time someone was executed for blasphemy in Britain. But it didn't mean that debates around blasphemy went away. In this episode, we'll trace the history of blasphemy in Britain, and discover how debates about insulting religion still shape British law and public life today. Thomas Aikenhead: last execution for blasphemy in Britain, 1697. Blasphemy's Greek roots: harmful speech, not originally religious. Church and Crown fused; blasphemy protected political order. Percy Shelley expelled for publishing The Necessity of Atheism. Richard Carlile imprisoned for publishing Paine's The Age of Reason. 1977 Gay News case: editor convicted for blasphemous poem. Life of Brian controversy showed debate still alive. Blasphemy law protected Christianity only; Muslims unprotected during Rushdie. 2008 abolition followed debate: protect people, not ideas. Tahir Ali proposed new blasphemy law; government rejected. Full interactive transcript, subtitles and key vocabulary available on the website: https://www.leonardoenglish.com/podcasts/blasphemy-britain ---You might like:
Part 1 of 2: A special delivery of Paine! In honor of America's 250th birthday, we are celebrating with the forgotten founding father, Thomas Paine. Common Sense is the foundational text of the American Revolution. Changing the perception of early Americans about the cause of fighting against the British Empire from a lack of representation to the cause of America as an asylum for mankind. Where all are welcome and accepted. This is the first half of Paine's "Common Sense."
The Morbid Museum returns with a special America 250 episode! In 1776, forgotten revolutionary and Founding Father Thomas Paine blazed a trail of powerful rhetoric with "Common Sense", a pamphlet that galvanized the citizens of British America to break away from the King. Two Hundred and Fifty years later, despite his remains being scattered in a hair-brained grave robbing plot and his reputation buried by detractors, Paine endures as a salient torch-bearer for the cause of America.Project Gutenberg: Common SenseThomas Paine Political Cartoons - Thomas Paine Historical AssociationThomas Paine Historical Marker - Pomeroy FoundationThomas Paine's Scattered Body INTP BlogMoncure Conway's Essay on Paine's RemainsThomas Paine and the Promise of America by Harvey KayeThe Church of Saint Thomas Paine by Leigh Eric SchmidtSong: Tom Paine's Bones (Graham Moore)

Hear from acclaimed author, essayist, and critic Thomas Mallon, whose novel Fellow Travelers (2007) inspired an opera and a SHOWTIME® miniseries. With exacting attention to historical detail, Mallon's novel brings to life the shameful era in the early 1950s known as the Lavender Scare, during which gay and lesbian federal employees were systematically expelled from government service. More recently, Mallon also published The Very Heart of It (2025), a collection of journal entries during his literary coming-of-age during the AIDS crisis in New York City. Reporter Katie Campbell, creator and host of the KUOW Book Club, joins Mallon for a lively discussion on these works and the lessons they hold for our own time. Thomas Mallon's eleven books of fiction include Henry and Clara, Fellow Travelers, Watergate (a Finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award), and Up With the Sun. He has also written volumes of nonfiction about plagiarism (Stolen Words), diaries (A Book of One's Own), letters (Yours Ever,) and the Kennedy assassination (Mrs. Paine's Garage), as well as two books of essays (Rockets and Rodeos and In Fact). A collection of his personal journals, The Very Heart of It: New York Diaries, 1983-1994, was published by Knopf in June 2025. Mallon's work appears in The New Yorker, The New York Times Book Review, and other publications. He received his Ph. D. in English and American Literature from Harvard University and taught for a number of years at Vassar College. His honors include Guggenheim and Rockefeller fellowships, the National Book Critics Circle citation for reviewing, and the Harold D. Vursell Memorial Award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, for distinguished prose style. He has been literary editor of Gentlemen's Quarterly and deputy chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, and in 2012, he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. An eight-part dramatic adaptation of his novel, Fellow Travelers, is now streaming on Showtime/Paramount+, and an opera based on the novel has had over a dozen productions throughout the United States. He is Professor Emeritus of English at The George Washington University and lives in Washington, D. C. Katie Campbell is an editor and reporter for KUOW.org. She has covered a variety of local topics, including Seattle politics, elections, and the arts. She also co-hosts KUOW's weekly arts podcast, Meet Me Here, highlighting the local literary scene and visiting authors. In 2024, Katie created the KUOW Book Club, featuring stories and authors from the Pacific Northwest. Katie's picks have included classics, like Timothy Egan's The Good Rain, and recent hits, like Sonora Jha's The Laughter. Katie's interviews with the featured authors have given readers a chance to hear from some of the most talented writers in the region. All readers are invited to join the KUOW Book Club by signing up for the newsletter at kuow.org/books.

Published as a 47-page pamphlet in colonial America on January 10, 1776, Common Sense challenged the authority of the British government and the royal monarchy. The elegantly plain and persuasive language that Thomas Paine used touched the hearts and minds of the average American and was the first work to openly ask for political freedom and independence from Great Britain.

4. Joseph Ellis, *The Cause: The American Revolution and Its Discontents, 1773 to 1783*. Thomas Paine's *Common Sense* revolutionized the rebellion by using plain language to argue that an island could not rule a continent and that monarchies were inherently flawed. Paine shifted the movement's focus from the rights of Englishmen to the natural rights of all human beings, making American victory seem inevitable. However, the harsh reality of war was felt at Valley Forge, where George Washington's army faced starvation and exposure due to a lack of congressional support. During that brutal winter, approximately 1,200 soldiers died of malnutrition and exposure, testing the endurance of those who "stayed the course". (4)1865 PARIS
In January 1776, Thomas Paine told the American colonies to break free from their king. But what was supposed to come next? 250 years later, that question still doesn't have a good answer. To mark the anniversary of *Common Sense*, we traveled to Lewes, England, the town where Paine lived before he ever set foot in America, and recorded our first-ever LIVE episode inside Bull House, the building where Paine honed his ideas about citizens and their government. Joseph Adelman chairs a panel with scholars Leanne O'Boyle, Nicole Mahoney, and Jeanne Sheehan Zaino as they dig into the legacy of *Common Sense*: democracy's "day two problem," the women Paine wrote out of his own story, why "the law is king" keeps showing up on protest signs, and what a 15th-century building in a small English town can teach us about where democratic ideas actually take root.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Lisa Sabey and Alison Paine, two courageous mothers, share how they are using documentary filmmaking as a catalyst to revolutionize mental health education and care in the United States. What began as personal journeys navigating their own families' mental health challenges has evolved into a mission to transform how mental health is understood, taught, and supported across the country. These women are working to bridge the long-standing gap between clinical care and lived experience. While traditional mental health education often centers on diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols, their films elevate real stories—raw, honest, and human. By centering lived experience, they are creating resources that resonate not only with professionals but with parents, educators, students, and communities seeking deeper understanding. •Parents to Parents Website: https://www.parentstoparents.org/ •EDC/Zero Suicide site with the film Parents to Parents: After Your Child's Suicide Attempt: https://zerosuicide.edc.org/resources/resource-database/parents-parents-after-your-childs-suicide-attempt •Matters Media: https://mattersmedia.org/ •National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): https://www.nami.org/
Most of us only know Thomas Paine for one thing: writing Common Sense in 1776, which helped kickstart the Revolution by selling hundreds of thousands of copies. But he was far more than a writer. Paine actively served with George Washington's army during its darkest days and then used his pen to advocate for global freedom in both the French Revolution and against organized religion. His revolutionary fervor spanned the globe, leading him to champion the French Revolution with Rights of Man and challenge religious orthodoxy in The Age of Reason/ Paine's later involvement with the French Revolution, his Enlightenment opinions, and his unorthodox view of religion plunged his reputation into a controversy that continues to this day. Today’s guest is Jack Kelly, author of “Tom Paine's War: The Words That Rallied a Nation and the Founder for Our Time.” We look at how Paine shaped the war. He convinced the colonies that war should grow from a reform movement to a full revolution: The entire British system of hereditary monarchy and aristocratic rule was a form of tyranny, making the case that separation from Great Britain the only logical course for America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
