Thomas Jefferson and George Washington and John Adams. Among others.
Thomas Jefferson..
But i like this one better From the Declaration of Independence.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
It was Thomas Jefferson, but here is what he REALLY should have said:
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants . . . Poured out on a black granite altar from a copper chalice, to the sound of pounding drums, as drug tranced maidens dance in naked frenzy under a dusky red lunar eclipse.”
