Jefferson's Wisdom

Post by Mad Dog »

When we get piled
upon one another in large cities, as in Europe,
we shall become as corrupt as Europe.
Thomas Jefferson<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quote ... 09181.html>


The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those
who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quote ... 881...html>


It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quote ... 36389.html>


I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government
from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quote ... 6410..html>


My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson<http://www..brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff157220.html>


No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quote ... 5076..html>


The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms
is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quote ... 00991.html>


The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson<http://www.brainyquote..com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff109180.html>


To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he
disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical..
Thomas Jefferson<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quote ... 7246..html>


Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people
of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'

I WISH WE COULD GET THIS OUT TO EVERYONE!!!

You guys better get the vote out or this one will be next.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants."
I would add the word "niggers" to that.

It's getting weird out there, I can feel tensions I've never felt before.
I've had things happen to me lately that I never thought would happen.
It's almost like someone moved Compton to Mayberry.

I want to go back to the good old days when I didn't have to constantly stay on top of what those elected assholes are doing.
