How Did Jefferson Know?

[Elena]

Received this in my email this morning and thought to share it with everyone. Isn't it interesting how the Founding Fathers knew more than we thought they did. Perhaps Scott could learn from Thomas Jefferson before he votes with the Democrats again.

What A Guy!: How did Jefferson know?

How did Jefferson know?

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 ofwhen 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.'

I WISH WE COULD GET THIS OUT TO EVERYONE!!! I'll do my part!

Thanks Jaye. All we can do is continue to push the words of our Founding Fathers out so that eventually they will stick in the minds of the Pols we elect to Congress. As of now, Scott is a big disappointment. I really had expected a lot more from him. I didn't expect him to be a clone of Ted Kennedy. I hope I'm wrong on that. The hand of Ted Kennedy has reached out even from the grave to bring about this monstrosity that has been let loose in this country.

Dear Elena:

Thank you for those quotes. I use quotes from our founders quite often in my reasoning. I wonder however if I'm just a fosil? I wonder if the Pols even care? Thank you so much. I'll do what I can too.
