the 50th anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence along
with John Adams.

Thomas Jefferson
knew because he himself studied the previous failed attempts at government.
He understood actual history, the nature of God, His laws
and the nature
of man. That happens to be way more than what most understand
today.

Jefferson really knew his stuff.
A voice from the past to lead us in the future:


John F. Kennedy
held a dinner in the White House for a group of the brightest minds
in the nation at that time. He made this statement: "This is perhaps
the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in
the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
"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 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."


I wish we could get this out to every American!


Please do your part -- I'm doing my part.


Please do yours.

I have great admiration for Jefferson also, I particularly like the last quote you quoted. :thumbup:

EL Loc: Massachusetts

I learned all that in school. Didn't everybody? Or, did they just forget? I thought it was too important to forget. I thought he was the best man ever when I learned about him. If we follow all he said, we will be free forever!

missinglink Loc: Tralfamadore

Very impressive and much needed.
I've sent along to all on my email list.
Thanks

vernon

yes i learned that in 8th grade history but it was forgotten but i will remember him now.

okie don

Yep, we ALL KNOW about the 'Private Banks' Jefferson warns us of.

The Rothschield Khazarian Mafia or (RKM) for short. www.veteranstoday.com
explains who they are.

Old Abe Lincoln was the first to get assassinated by them.
Then Andrew Jackson wanted away. They tried to kill him but the pistols misfired.

In 1913, thanks to Pres. Woodrow Wilson, the Rothschield's were successful.
The Federal Reserve was created.

What Nation, hires an outside group to print their currency, then pay %interest% for doing so? What we owe'um now? $18 Trillion?

Oh, let's not forget John Fitzgerald Kennedy and his Executive Order 11110.
He even printed our own fait currency. Silver backed too!
Whoops, 'capped' Kennedy in Big D in '63.

Now the BRICS ( Brazil- Russia- India- China and South America ) are really giving 'um fits.

Big changes are on the way.(:

I always wonder where the liberal posters are when I find and post something like this, which is a complete and inarguable refutation of all they believe. I wish they would go down the list of quotes with their side. You know why they won't! Tell us like it is tdsrnest, Cool(?) Breeze, Kevyn. We're waiting.

missinglink Loc: Tralfamadore

We will not hear from them. They can not defend their fantasy land mind sets when given these solid and irrefutable facts. It's more than a shame that we have let the government rear our children, it's practically child endangerment. Might as well have turned them over to strangers. HEY, WAIT A MINUTE !! We have.

Sons of Liberty Loc: look behind you!

They won't be around on this one...they have no grounds for rebuttal of their ignorance.

Artemis

What do you consider liberal ....anyone not from the crazy extreme right? Obviously you know about as much as "liberals/ democrats and independents as Cruz knew about New York morals.:thumbup:

BTW it was Jefferson who first created the democratic party.

MatthewlovesAyn Loc: Ohio

Now I know where one is. For saying so little, it's amazing how much you have wrong.
The origin of this thread was mine: A short primer on Thomas Jefferson. Is he one of the crazy extreme right to which you are referring?

I was raised by two democrats. I have two democrat siblings (one which, I am sure you would find philosophically compatible. The other is more centrist).
Here is Trump on the New York morals to which Ted Cruz was referring:

I don't imagine you saw the irony or contradiction in suggesting I am from the crazy right because I posted about Jefferson and then boasted he is one of yours.

Lastly, Jefferson's party was know as the Democratic Republicans. It had absolutely no resemblance to the party of the Ku Klux Klan, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, or Barack Obama. Your lack of historical knowledge is typical of liberals, socialists, communists, and others of your ilk. The USSR fell only thirty years ago. The main reason we crazy right wingers are so vociferous, is because nothing liberals espouse actually works.

I heard from one. It wasn't worth the kilobytes it was printed with.

It was Thomas Jefferson that said, "any person that says the definition of Natural Born Citizen is anything other than born to both citizen parents on American soil should be viewed as a traitor. Anyone that tries to legally change the definition of Natural Born Citizen should be viewed as treasonous". He was an amazing man.
