by any modern measurement, he would have been anything but a Democrat.

But he IS a democRAT. He's one of the party icons...along with Andrew Jackass.

Thomas Jefferson? That original proponent of limited government? Here we go again. Now explain to me how he would be a Democrat by modern standards? Just because Democrats claim it doesn’t make it so.

Well, they’ve kidnapped Jesus and made him the poster-boy for illegals, gays, abortion, and anti-military endeavors. So what? They use whatever they can get their hands on to support their deluded life views. That doesn’t prove anything.

Was it such a bad thing when Jackson did to Nicholas Biddle and his infernal bank what Jackson previously did to Brit General Pakenham at New Orleans? Why?

Hamilton was a Federalist political ancestor of today's God-forsaken Republican "leadership." So was Henry Clay and his despicable Whigs, including Lincoln. So was Lincoln, Thaddeus Stevens, Senator Sumner and other early "Republican" embarrassments. I have been a Republican through much of my adult life. I reflect the views of none of them. Jefferson and Jackson are far more consistent with today's GOP base.
