TJ... My favorite "free thinker".

 
 
And that explains why you support Ron Paul
 
 
 
Jefferson was a liberal then just as Paul is now.

Jefferson was only a liberal in the classic sense. By every contemporary criteria, he was the epitome of a true Conservative. He argued for strict construction of the Constitution, economy & frugality in fiscal matters, and a foreign policy that treated all with respect, yet punished the "first insult."

You would learn a lot about what is wrong with the Collectivist/Egalitarian trends in contemporary America, by reading Jefferson. You might start by actually reading the Declaration of Independence, rather than letting quacks quote from it, completely out of context, as is the habit of all Leftists.

Moreover, Jefferson described how a social safety net ("Welfare") should be operated, in his only book; offering the best argument against the present corrupting system, you will find.

Actually, I don't support Ron Paul for this Presidential election.

Any other lies you wish to try and concoct about me?

If you can't make your argument without resorting to lies, maybe you should just give up...

"It is of great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and a third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good disposition." - Letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785, Thomas Jefferson
