Dean recently produced a fabulous piece of propaganda, a leaflet called Common Sense for a New Century, after Tom Paine's famous Revolutionary War tract. "We face a growing threat to our liberty and justice in America today," he writes. "Thomas Jefferson and James Madison spoke of the fear that economic power would one day seize political power.
