Jefferson and his pals were pro-Jacobin. He was also notoriously heterodox in his religious beliefs. The Federalists were anti-Jacobin, anti-subversive, and the bulwark of protecting religion.

George Washington must have thought so to, as he was a Federalist in all but name. And that means that Abraham Lincoln was not the radical break with the old republic that the Tertium Quids make him out to be.

The problem I have with Jefferson-beyond the failure to live up to his principles once he was in the White House-is the fact that he was at heart a Rousseauian, which-to me, at least-is the philosophy responsible for almost all of the philosophical disasters that have unfolded over the past 2 centuries.
