Good article. At some point we're gonna wake up and see what is being done to our country. Powder is dry. May God direct us and show us the way.

Ready for whatever happens. Wife made a bunch of jerky this week. She has the canner going non-stop. Got in trouble for boys eating a bunch of jerky. I didn’t have any but guilt by association. Buying another 20 pounds of lean beef tomorrow to replunish supply. Finally picked some corn today. Only thing the woman hasn’t put into cans yet.
Powder is dry. Things just ain’t right folks. Praying for guidance on where we are headed.

I’ve got a Jefferson vs Obama quote for you, just read it this afternoon in The 5000 Year Leap. How’s this with regard to natl debt?
“We shall all consider ourselves unauthorized to saddle posterity with our debts, and morally bound to pay them ourselves; and consequently within what may be deeemed the period of a generation, or the life [expectancy] of the majority.”

Fortunately for me, I attended ha skoo when it was High School, during a time when History, Government, and Civics were required, taught, and learned....and not yet revised into something unrecognizable.

Parts of Jefferson writings can easily be quoted, but they do not reflect the life of the man nor his his actions.
He debauched his slaves;, avoided and/or never served in military service; tried to seduce a friend's wife while the friend was away in the service of his country; tried to “back stab” President George Washington while in his cabinet, would talk about freedom but would never freed his own slaves while he was alive; borrowed money from his friends and/or this country's patriots and did not pay it back. In summary he was a self indulgent SOB who, contributed in part to the writing of the Declaration of Independence.

I know this is an old thread, but I just visited Monticello this morning and there is a movie in the visitor center that literally depicts Barack Obama’s election as a result of Jefferson’s vision.
Not sure what made me sicker to my stomach, the movie itself or the realization that 99.9% of the people who see that movie won’t even notice anything awry or think critically about the comparison.
Also, modifying “life liberty and property” from the original John Locke was Jefferson’s biggest shortcoming, IMHO.
