No, I don’t, but I’m bookmarking this post.
Visited Monticello last year, very nice and enjoyable experience.

That there have been any defaced or destroyed shows the depths of darkness and ignorance so many so-called Americans live in. We sure are lucky he and others of his amazing generation were around at that time. He has always been among my favorite presidents and Americans.
It’s no accident the nation has been as successful as it is.
It wasn’t founded by Kalahari Bushmen, no matter how hard the recently arrived Pelosi family tries to convince us it was.
See this list and page search “Jefferson.” One in Ling Island and one in Birmingham. https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/3867445/posts
jefferson is my least favorite founding father. he arguably committed treason as washington’s sec’y of state and as adams’ VP. he demonstrated cowardice in the face of the enemy during the revolution. he was a social tinkerer and innovator. he committed the first act of coercion by the central government with the embargo act, where he was willing to commit economic suicide in order to force the country to conform to his personal notion of agrarian utopia.
if he was alive today, jefferson would be an AOC liberal, ready to throw off all social and political norms and traditions in favor of whatever fashionable pet theory he had fallen in love with.
and then there is the fact that he knocked up the enslaved half sister of his dead wife.
it disturbs me when conservatives try to drag jefferson’s corpse as support into any argument.
now, having said all of that, the War on Statues is retarded on every conceivable level; even his.

I thought he was an architect too. I’ve been to Monticello a couple of times.
According to Monticello, not all those quotes attributed to Jefferson are his.
