Conservative worship of Thomas Jefferson has got to stop.

I don't worship any man.

But Thomas Jefferson certainly said a whole lot of things I wholeheartedly agree with.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men..."

"God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever."

What is your position on the French Revolution? Do you think that was a good thing as Jefferson did?

Our founders were a fractious bunch. Jefferson's faction was definitely pro-Jacobin. He was also highly critical of traditional religion. But because he believed in a strict interpretation of the Constitution and states' rights he is excused for his irreverence.
