Jefferson warned about cities and any nation that wasn't of basically
farmers.
Should we do away with all cites and manufacturing too?
Jefferson tried to impeach Justices so he could put his people in there
too. Was that kewl?
What Jefferson was against were judges who saw things differently than he
did.
I recommend to you the following book fred:
Jefferson and Civil Liberties: The Darker Side, by Leonard W. Levy. 1963.
Elephant Paperbacks. Paperback. 225 pages. This book posits the theory that
Jefferson's record on civil liberties was not purely libertarian. The
author freely acknowledges in his preface that "balance has not been my
objective" and that the purpose of the book "is mainly to depict the side
of Jefferson that others have tended to neglect."
The above book contains little positive Jefferson, it basically contains
negative examples of Jefferson but they are factual, not made up
Jefferson, like most humans, was a walking living, breathing, contradiction
What is interesting is the fact over the past year you idontreply and at
time everfresh kandoo or whatever it is he calls himself have played the
same game, that is to appear and for weeks on end play the jefferson card
over and over and over.
You three seem to run the same bot program.
Three pees in a pod and yes I know I spelled it differently but that was
what I meant
