HOW DID JEFFERSON KNOW? HE WAS A STUDENT OF HISTORY.

"It has been said the greatest volume of sheer brain power in one place occurred when Jefferson dined alone..." John Kennedy

HOW DID JEFFERSON KNOW??????

Especially read the last quote from 1802.




When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.
Thomas Jefferson

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks (FEDERAL RESERVE ESTABLISHED 1913) to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered...'


'If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.'
-Mark Twain B

We still have him - but there are still people trying to step all over him (Declaration of Independence).

Our forefathers were very intelligent people.

Well, our country was off to a good beginning at least. Can't say much for the present condition. Monty

Jefferson really was brilliant, to bad our current regime can't learn from history.

This country needs it own "roots" revival. Back to WHY we wanted and needed a constitution and Bill of Rights.

We have turned into what I call a "but" society. Yes, it's part of our constitutional rights, but....................................

We, the People, still want the Jefferson standards. The "leaders" who are well-entrenched in the law-making process, have entitled themselves too much and are entirely too comfortable in their role of "leader." They've granted themselves retirements, entitlements, and think of themselves as kings and queens, and have forgotten their initial roles of representatives. Jefferson knew. Too many folks in charge now who grew up under other regimes and envision our country as one they can exercise their influence over while still partaking of its independent and generous nature.

Under current laws Jefferson would be locked up at "GITMO" as a right wing terrorist. Now that lets you know how far down are great country has went. Our school systems do not teach history, only civics classes.

Not to change the subject, but how do you think King obama feels about Andrew Jackson?
