All his books went to the Library of Congress.
Its interior is the most beautiful of any building in DC.

Potential presidential contender Herman Cain told conservative radio host Laura Ingraham that he wouldn’t allow Muslims to serve in his administration and that, because Rep. Keith Ellison took his oath of office on the Qur’an instead of the Bible, he supports Sharia law above the Constitution. Cain, a Republican, said that American law is based on the Bible.
“I want people in my administration that are committed to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States,” said Cain. “I don’t want any inkling of anybody in my administration who would put Sharia law over American law. I have not found a Muslim that has said that they will denounce Sharia law, you know, in order to support the Constitution of the United States.”
Cain, who was the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza and former chair of the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City, formed an exploratory committee for the Republican nomination in 2012.
Ingraham asked Cain, “So Keith Ellison you think would be more in favor of Sharia law than the Declaration of Independence?”
Cain said, “Didn’t he take his oat on the Qur’an instead of the Bible? Am I wrong in that?”
“I think you are correct in that,” she said. (To be precise, it was a copy of the Qur’an owned by Thomas Jefferson.)
Cain continued, “This is my point. If you take an oath on the Qur’an, that means you support Sharia law. I support American law. Our laws were derived from principles that are biblically based. Maybe not said in the same words that are in the Bible, but our laws are derived from principles based upon the Bible. This is why I’m not going to back down or pander to anyone who wants to call me xenophobic or a bigot simply because I said no. I don’t want anybody in my administration that I’m going to have to be looking over my shoulder to figure out if they are going to try to do something against the principles that I believe in which are also the principles that the majority, the overwhelming majority of the American people believe.”

Because TJ wanted to know and understand the enemy.
The more I hear from this guy, the more I like him
>> Cain said, “Didn’t he take his oat on the Qur’an instead of the Bible? Am I wrong in that?”
As in Quaker Oats?
Yep! And TJ knew the enemy as mohammedans, the Evil dreamed up by mohammed!
I must be a racist because my three favorite conservatives are Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, and Herman Cain.
Not! He said oath and clearly said it! Q-tips?
How about if they want Sharia law we can have Mosaic law too?
I imagine there are wquite a few men out there who would rather not be in competition with a woman to the extent of putting them out of business all together!
Exactly, just like Patton read Rommel’s book. My guess is this "journalist" has never heard the words "...to the shores of Tripoli." as set to music, or realizes the moslems were holding Americans prisoners for ransom during TJ's time.
The journalist may also not realize that by definition "moslem" is not a nationality but one who supports Shariah law, or that the law is incompatible with the U.S. Constitution.
I commented on what was clearly written. Lens cleaner?
Our laws were originally based on Biblical law. Our style of government was based on, by and for Christian people. Without either, there can be no America. Thus, unless we unite against Obama’s “change”, no freedom, private property, or equality will survive!
That Muzzie POS needs thrown out of the house with his prayer rug.
Don’t forget Lt. Col Allen West
He is awesome!
The audio at the source is crystal clear.
Hate to break the news to the Christians here, but our government has its foundations in pagan ancient Greece and Rome, English common law, and continental political theory.
There are no republics in the Bible.
The Old Testament and Koran are based on the same principles: totalitarian theocracies.
Jesus is king. There are no kings in a constitutional republic.
People may not like me saying it, but that is the truth.
Me too!
I`ve been to Monticello; his personal library was huge, based on the space available.
