“I take the Jefferson foundation over Wiki”
You can get the same info from many other sources, the same this writer did.
Somebody lectured me about Jefferson’s supposed plagiarism and countenancing the Jacobins, completely ignoring that King did in fact plagiarize and hobnobbed with communists.
But all you people who take joy in slamming Jefferson have a presidential candidate who shares your predilections — Mayor Pete Butt. Maybe you can send him a donation.
I don’t support Pete Butt at all. In fact, quite frankly, I think he deserves to be shot for promoting Cultural Marxism, to say little about his being a homosexual, and a “married” one at that. So don’t claim that about me (and quite frankly, I if anything am more likely to support Donald Trump more than any of the Democrat candidates, let alone Pete Butt).
As far as Jefferson, I’m pretty sure that Richard Henry Lee accused him of being a plagiarist as even Mises institute made clear, and not only did Jefferson not deny it when accused, he even implied that was the Declaration of Independence’s strongest feature.
As far as the Jacobins and MLK, maybe I should remind you that unlike Jefferson who not only gave complete and full support to the Jacobins, but has also gone as far as to condemn anyone, even his closest friends such as William Short, for even daring to speak the truth about what’s happening in France, even condemned Washington as a “apostate of Liberty” when he refused to back them, MLK has also been friends with Nixon, who is a massive anti-Communist and responsible for Alger Hiss’s being condemned as a Communist, and aside from that, has also written a speech that explicitly states that Communism and Christianity can NEVER see eye to eye, not interact with each other, which means MLK at least knew Communism was NOT Christianity’s friend. That would all point to MLK NOT being a Communist and most likely against the ideology.
I am not slamming Jefferson. I celebrate his greatness, and I keep repeating that. I do not care about his moral failings. His other accomplishments stand on their own.
