The Crisis Papers leads with an epigram from Thomas Paine, of all people. it seems almost silly at this dire juncture to point out what most 'Americans' have become completely blind to, that the 'American' Revolution, was exactly that, and it was fought by brave men who were branded as 'terrorists' by those they fought.

Thomas Paine, the invisible patriot.}
