“For in a warm climate, no man will labour for himself who can make another labour for him. This is so true, that of the proprietors of slaves a very small proportion indeed are ever seen to labor. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever . . . .”
— Notes on the State of Virginia
Thomas Jefferson said the quote in question.
These posts say, instead: "It's sad that it's come to this, but we shouldn't be surprised."
Such as the calm, reasoned posts that put 4 exclamation points after "more to come" and 8 exclamation points after "karma"?
Personally, I believe that we are guilty as a nation for allowing the massive crime of abortion and I expect that we all will share a portion of the punishment that will come.
You're free to believe whatever you like.
"I tremble for my country when I recall that God is just, that his justice can not sleep forever."
Who said that?
The same guy who said the following:
"Religions are all alike - founded upon fables and mythologies."
"Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear."
Good 'ol Tom Jefferson, of course!
