We Must Have Patience ...Barbra Streisand Posted on November 8, 2004
In response to the results of the Presidential election last week, I would like to share with you a quote from Thomas Jefferson. Although written in 1798, I feel his words speak perfectly to the strong sentiments of frustration and disappointment 48% of the country feel.
"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt......If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake."

Post 27 on this thread speaks to your question of context.

Thanks for providing the original context. So it's actually part of an anti-secession article.
If there had been an Internet during the Civil War, this quote would have appeared, correctly, on all the pro-Lincoln, Republican blogs.
John Wilkes Booth was the most popular show business celebrity of his time.
A CLEAR example of WHY that woman is a "Dead Ender"
SO much has been mentioned about RED states VS BLUE states -
but the TRUE story here are the DEMOCRATS who are also
Devided.
One ONE side we have the
"San Francisco in No Mood for Tolerance After Bush Win"
We are not giving up, we are right and the majority of
America are "pig F*cking inbreeds" who voted for BUSH
and,
"Democratic Party must be 'born again,' Carville says"
who recognise that it is THEY who need to do something
about it.
HOWEVER - None of the democrats are about to joing the
GOP - far from it. But they do, recognise "change."
Awesome screen grab!
Debatable point at best.
Striesand does not a) own a derringer, b)espouse to the confederacy, c) have access to the Presidential box at Ford's Theatre...
So...your point is what?
ROFL!!!
OK who actually believes la Streisand wrote this?
So where does she stand on sleeping with the 'help'?
