Quotes From Our Fathers - Thomas Jefferson

Thanks Bob!

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the White House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement:
"This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

Especially read the last quote from 1802.

"When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe."
Thomas Jefferson

"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

"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

"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

"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government."
Thomas Jefferson

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
Thomas Jefferson

"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

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
Thomas Jefferson

"To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical."
Thomas Jefferson

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."

Exposing Another Liberal Lie

The latest liberal lie I have read, comes from Froma Harrop, a columnist for Creators Syndicate, 5777 W. Century Blvd, Suite 70, Los Angeles, CA. I can see that the Creators Syndicate gets it name from "Creating their own Truth" and Syndicate because they are a Mafia like organization keeping the people oppressed with their lies.

Froma, who based on her picture could use some dental work, tells us the National Debt doubled under George W. Bush, who was "following a reckless path". She fails to mention the devastating attacks on the Twin Towers and the small fact we are fighting a war in two theatres. And Holy Cow,.... if she thinks Bush was reckless, how does she see Obama....... who has quadrupled the debt in 18 months?!?!?

She goes on to lambast the Republicans for spending for Medicare Part D, TARP and bridges to nowhere, but fails to mention the Democrat Congress and Obama pushing Stimulus II, Obamacare, extension after extension of unemployment benefits, and the push for Cap and Trade down out the throats of the American people, even when the majority showed time and time again we were against it. Plus Sarah Palin was the stopper on the Bridge to Nowhere and last time I looked she was NOT a Democrat - you idiot. Plus, it was a Dem controlled Congress who passed the first TARP.

Lastly, Froma Harrop, asks rhetorically "Are the Democrats equally to blame?", then she unashamedly writes: "No. Deficit spending is warranted during an economic crisis." OK, lets give Obama and the Pelosi/Reid organization a pass....Oh, yeah, lets blame Bush (wonder if that'll ever get tiring?).
