So what about a club where a bunch of wiggers want to hang out, but they would prefer to hang out with actual black people, so they have free admission for black people but charge extra for the white people that want to hang out with them?

Now, being ambushed and driving your Humvee directly at the enemy's entrenched position, after which you leap into the trench, shoot terrorists until you run out of bullets for your Marine-issue guns, then take two AK-47s and kill some more terrorists, and then you find a rocket-propelled grenade and blow the hell out of even more terrorists?

Yeah, the Iraqi invaders sure proved themselves to be total terrorists when they fought the brave US soldiers that were defending their homeland.

A few problems with their analysis.

Catholics were oppressed at the time of the gunpowder plot. If England at the time had more religious tolerance, then there may never have been such a plot.

And it looks like Cracked pulled a Glenn Beck on the Thomas Paine part. His use of the term "landed property" had to do with plantations mainly (or any land granted that was used to produce profit while the owner never really worked the fields -or mines-). Also, Paine wrote quite a few other things that seem to contradict his calls taxation. For example, this quote from the very same Rights of Man.

If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without tribute. Paine-Rights of Man

Thomas Paine was a small-government, classical liberal, and not a hybrid of Karl Marx and FDR.
