For all but the staunchest loyalists, Paine also destroyed the entire basis for accepting a foreign ruler, and a corrupt monarch and despot at that. It was repudiation on the grandest scale imaginable. Paine simply destroyed the old category: namely, an ancient one called monarchy. Monarchy was unnatural. Monarchy was absurd. Monarchy defied God. Additionally, how could a morally corrupt, unnatural ruler of a small island think he could subjugate an entire continent? So posed Paine to his adopted countrymen and surely Britain’s brightest ever scientist, Isaac Newton, would himself have cried “abomination” at such a fanciful notion, because it betrayed the very physical laws of nature that Newton had discovered, for as Paine explained: But there is something very absurd, in supposing a continent to be perpetually governed by an island.
The king made it clear that he would 32 l US Leadership in Political Time and Space bring the colonies to heel. The revolutionaries would be destroyed and their leaders hung as traitors. ”46 After the king’s angry declaration, the new crushing reality for any who still dreamed of peaceful compromise was Paine’s refrain: ’tis time to part. The king had made freedom or subjugation, from the American perspective, a forced choice, and because subjugation was as unnatural as the monarch who threatened it, as Paine so confidently explained, well, it was time to part.
This new treatise aggressively asserted his deism and championed science and rationality over religion and religious institutions, which Paine considered as venal and as corrupt as the monarchy he had attacked so vehemently in Common Sense and Rights of Man. For good measure Paine published in an open letter a scathing attack on President Washington. Published in 1796, Paine brought all his powers of rhetorical force to bear on the actions and character of Washington. Attacking the two things most cherished by Americans—their souls and their beloved First Citizen—Paine set in train the very counterreaction that would help guarantee the destruction of his revolutionary credentials, replaced by a new characterization depicting him as a vile, filthy drunk and atheist.
