U.S. Shuts Big Bank As Crisis Intensifies

Jefferson managed to escape the British gallows. I am sure he could manage in the modern US without ending in jail lolol

He would not be surprised at the state of things. They all warned us not to get involved overseas. They warned us material comforts could lead to loss of character.

Jefferson definitely lost. I’m sure Hamilton is a whole lot less miserable about modern USA than Jefferson was. If Jefferson lived in the USA today, he would either be in jail or have been Wacoed by now. Think about it. With all his accomplishments, all Jefferson would have been today is a nutty gun-toting libertarian holed up on his farm and taken out by a sniper from the ATF. America has fallen so far, and we have lost so many freedoms, it is enough to make me cry.

Take some small comfort that you are not alone in your thoughts and feelings.

Thanks. I think we are the silent majority, actually, but I also think we are a dying breed as more and more Americans don’t learn their history, especially the latest generations brainwashed in socialist public schools. They learn all about global warming but nothing of freedom. The new Politburo needs willing sheep for sacrifices.

I don't think we're the majority anymore, either. :-(
