thomas young himself goes off to vermont.t along the way thomas young comes up with a name for the state of vermont. said he is an interesting character. part of the reason you have not heard of him is he was an infidel, houseboat been infidel. with that aspect of his personality he pretty much spoke his mind and he was quite radical. he left the very interesting trail of writing that he tells his favorite authors and the main philosophical preoccupations. so what you can deduce is he shares ideas and is reasonably well read. even more so than ethan allen is something closer to what we should call up and deist. justin formal terms that are not useful as all the deist believes there is a deity who creates the universe then walks away and says your on your own. then there is a step farther the thing with you call the universe and god are the same thing. on top of which to articulate a number of interesting positions that we would now categorized and philosophy of the ethics. and also crucially with political syria. this is inte

thomas paine is exactly about that difference. just as the name of the conference, the name we chose for the conference is reform and revolution. faced with a situation that is becoming more and more unfair, unjust and intolerable -- what are we going to do? what makes thomas paine stand out is the care he takes to go after that question. and the way i hear it is this: we now face, he says about his time, more than enough evidence, decade upon decade of accumulated outrages, injustice, attacks on our freedoms, our rights and our security. in this sense, we have tried to address this one and that one, to work out an accommodation and get a reform over there. we have been there. and we have done it. and it hasn't worked. and we got to face that. we can't make reforms most of the time because the power structure against us blocks us. but even worse, when occasionally we get a reform, that same power structure loosing the effort to block it goes to work to undo and reverse and go back to where they were. therefore the conclusion he re

smith asked thomas, thomas said ok, but let me make sure that we coordinate the attack with other units and they attack, also. macarthur was not waiting. the afternoon was waiting. -- the afternoon was waning on. the sun was getting down the sky, there would not be much time. when macarthur had sent his staff officer to ask smith for permission to attack, macarthur said, if i don't hear back from you within a certain period of time, i am going. i'm going in. the staff officer did not get back. i don't know if macarthur had given orders and said don't you dare come back. [laughter] i would like to find some evidence of that. anyway, macarthur launched his attack and it was very successful. the confederate lines were indeed misplaced on shy's hill. they were able to inflict some casualties in the union force, especially in one sector of the hill, whether lines were back far enough from the brow of the hill that they were able to hit the 10th minnesota regiment of macarthur's division after it came out on to the top of the hill and they were able to punish it pretty badly. in most places i

and we need the help of thomas paine. >> the system plan. [applause] >> it is worth remembering that the people are not against the kings a much as the company, the east india company and the relationship, the role of the royal power and the corporation. looking at all of this, a couple of people wanted to ask you one. we have your suggestion for how to keep hope, your suggestion for how to start an organized movement, and your suggestion for things people can mobilize around today. condensing a few different questions. as far as thomas paine, concrete suggestions whether it was the content of congress or the inheritance tax and the guaranteed minimum income. what would your speech today? are there things like that that one could organize around? we have about four minutes. i will give you five. [laughter] >> let me start. my colleagues can figure out what they're going to say. i have one thing that i get. i think it begins to confront a systemic issue. we depend, as human beings, on the enterprises in our society that produce the goods and

>> there are four thomas brothers. norman thomas is the oldest. all four brothers went to princeton. they were a son of a press presbyterian minister. norman went to princeton where he loved debates. he knew woodrow wilson there and took every class he would with woodrow wilson. he went to work in spring street, across the island where he was exposed to extreme degradation. that is not what radicalized him. there was some movement at the time called a social gospel movement, which held the point that christianity was not just to enter heaven but to establish a kingdom of god on earth. this is mainline protestant thinking. so tons of young men coming out of the middle class and extremists and they were obligated to make this world a better place. pretty liberal seminary at the request of his father. he goes to work at a very fancy church on fifth avenue, marries a social socialite. looks like he is heading towards to living a comfortable life. they decide to move to east harlem and work with the hung investigatorhungarians. the country is just comi

thomas' troops had shattered the confederate lines. thomas was an impressive soldier. some of historians argued thomas would have made a better commander of the federal armies during the atlanta campaign than sherman. but -- but -- thomas did not have a very good working relationship with ulysses s. grant. brook simpson alluded to this yesterday when talking about the tennessee campaign in 1864. and then thomas also had a reputation as being a very slow, very methodical soldier. and that caused sherman some frustration during the atlanta campaign, actually. so thomas is a very, very important subordinate, but he's an army commander during the campaign under sherman. the second largest of sherman's armies was his old command, sherman's old command, the army of tennessee. it was his favorite army. and it was also the most successful union army of the civil war. a recent book on the army of the tennessee by stephen woodworth is entitled "nothing but victory." and that army never knew defeat on the battle field. its commander during the atlanta campaign was james b. mcpher

edwin thomas iii was much more tortured. he saw that there were some -- looked around them and saw that this kind of effort that christians tended to make were, you know, were not doing anything. a lot of s hypocritical, you know, self-satisfaction involved. he when the war broke out in urope went to study in scotland. part of the movement there. came back over to become a conscious objector when the to the war.s went the onstantly had to push boundary of what was acceptable in order to show he's being true himself or true to his principles and fighting for freedom or keeping some kind of or liberty alive. and then the youngest was a lot less sure of what to do. struggled in the difference and of didn't know what he wanted to do. thought about being a farmer. hought about being a missionary. >> you have the three mighty oaks in front of you. bed ng you can get out of in the morning. >> yeah. >> he's on the balloon on occasion. said there's no place such as ton for a boy you. mama?st have been a >> she had an extraordinary pa

but he went with a smile the way thomas pape -- thomas paine went because he told the truth and for witness >> you have a minute. >> the reason woe are in such an incendiary moment is that the political and economic culture oppression of poor people of color is now being visited on the sons and daughters of the white middle class, and that is basically the engine of the "occupy" movement. these are day class intellectuals, he sited the intellectuals as vital for revolution, arguing with marx on this, but he was right. so suddenly you have the sons and daughter, whites, who endure police oppression, who can't get a job, or at least a job where they can sustain themselves. who are enduring what poor people marginalized people of color have been enduring for decades, and at that moment the state is in serious, serious trouble, because an alliance between an alienated white essentially middle class or formally middle class or middle class that's def -- disappearing, those people of color, low-wage working poor, is one that -- once ill galvanized can be begin to create -- that's why the fight fo

>> good morning you to, thomas. the remarkable thing is we've had the best back to back two-day gains for the dow in about four months here. but it doesn't feel like that at all. there's a lot of nervousness around in the markets. particularly when it comes to some of these gee yo political stories. so traders are keeping their fingers poised over the sell button. but this he do want to try and accumulate stocks as they see signs that the u.s. economy is getting better. so the early thoughts are we're going to have a better trading session for the u.s. and we've also got some important retail stories to come through the rest of this week. so probably that will give us another reason to be more positive going forward this week. but as i say, those fingers are hovering over the sell button. i just want to talk about apple for a moment here. you're going to get a lot of news flow around apple as we run up to this new launch of the iphone six. this story though is about the tablets and apparently the suppliers are sayin

he discusses thomas jefferson. he also describes how the statute's influence is extended into the 20th century and the supreme court's modern opinion of the separation of church and state. this is 50 minutes. >> the significance of the virginia statute for establishing religious freedom reaches far beyond the borders of the old comminon. it ultimately extended to the supreme court's decision of the separation between church and state. in his latest book today's speaker tells the story of that statchute beginning with the background and strug -- story of that statute beginning with the background and struggles at that ime. irginia's statchute -- statute had the most liberal interpretation than any other state at the time. thomas e. buckley is currently proffer in residence in los angeles. he taught in the history department for 22 years after receiving his doctorate from the university of california, santa why barbara, in 1973. from 1996 to 2012 he was professor of modern christian history at the jesuit school of th

thomas, a professional soldier. again, if you look at performance on the battlefield, thomas had a far more impressive record on the battlefield than richard t. sherman. he performed superbly at chickamauga. actually saved the union army at chickamauga as many of you probably know. thomas's troops had shattered confederate lines at missionary ridge. thomas was impressive soldier. and some historians have even argued that thomas would've made a better commander of the federal army during the atlanta campaign than sherman. but, but. thomas did not have a very good working relationship with ulysses s. grant. simpson actually alluded to this yesterday in his talk when he was talking about the tennessee campaign in 1864. thomas also had a reputation of being a very slow, very methodical soldier, and that caused sherman some frustration during the atlanta campaign. thomas is a very, very important subordinate, but he is an army campaigner under sherman. the second largest of sherman's army was his old command, the army of

slowed considerably, thomas, that's great news. the other news is about julio and the prescription is it will retain its hurricane status. but it's going to cut to the north. it's not expected to be a direct hit to the island as iselle is expected to be in just the next few hours. so there will be a lot of rain associated with this. and possibly some very unpredictable conditions. because as iselle comes into the big island, it's going to interact with the mountains there, the volcanos, they don't know what that's going to do. so the next few hours, the next few days should be interesting, thomas. >> just from the airline standpoint of view for tourists that have been coming in or trying to get out early, how have they been handling the flow and capacity of different crowds and their opinions of how they want to handle this safely? >> you know, there have been some flight cancellations. and the best advice has been to check your flight before you go the airport. but they are still taking tourists. this is the highway seas and a lot

i think we're seeing that in the case of thomas jackson, the police chief there. he's chosen, of course, to impose a strong arm set of responses to the ferguson challenge. and in doing so, has evoked the very worst images of the nation in its historic treatment of african-americans and no place is better emplifying that problem than birmingham, alabama, of 1963. after all, it was eugene bowls conner who was the public safety director who chose to use fire hoses on the little children of

thomas has been arrested for the double murder. the employer tells us he was a nice guy except when it came to the women he's been living with. the employer says just two months ago, the woman of the house blocked a construction site when she couldn't find thomas. since then, thomas has walked away from work with loud telephone shouding matches with his partner. police now confirm -- >> detectives believe this is a domestic-related incident. >> the employer beliefs money was an issue with the couple. >> we believe this was a targeted incident. >> other than trauma police will not say how the women died inside this home. thomas now awaits extradition from sufficient objection county back here to prince george's county. i'm robert liles, abc7 news. >> this is the second murder case in a matter of hours in prince george's county. police were called to a shooting in lanham late last night and found sthain snipes shot in a parking lot. he died later at a hospital. no arrests have been made but police do not believe it was a random shoot

that was his second cousin, thomas jefferson. if any of you have been to monticello, you know it is a little mountain. marshall got back at his cousin by calling him "the llama of the mountain." in any case, marshall was extraordinary in not giving offense. he was so common -- a wonderful story about him. he is at some kind of farmers market in richmond. a woman has just bought a chicken that has just been killed, and she offers him a quarter to take it home. and he does it. he takes the quarter, takes the chicken, follows her to her house, presents it, and goes back. chief justice of the united states supreme court. he was a very common man, but an extraordinarily gifted human being. this letter to his grandson, when you know about marshall, i think to me is an extraordinary -- it's an extraordinary look at how a successful man builds his own successful life. even though he had some formal education, he nonetheless developed himself. and that of course is what a lot of the secrets of the founders are built around, developing the

>> reporter: that's right, thomas, pandemonium broke out.we hear from police that molotov cocktails were thrown at police at the manned center which is a mile and a half down the road behind me in ferguson. we were sitting in a vehicle adjacent to the street as police began to advance and firing what we thought were smoke canisters were definitely tear gas scanters. we could feel the burning in our own eyes. we could taste it and see it. the pictures speak for themselves. they were pushing protesters back. we did see some protesters come running towards us as the police were advancing. young young lady said there were children in that direction. they may have been caught up in that. but the police continued to move their armored vehicles further on down the street behind me to push the crowds back. they announced over the p.a. system, the radio system for everyone to disperse, for everyone to evacuate this area. that's what continued to happen for the last few moments just until a minute or two. and you might be able to see, i'll step out of
