Oooh Jefferson, I love Jefferson:
and this, one of my favorites
You are so full of fail.... it's pathetic...
The first object of human association [is] the full improvement of
their condition." --Thomas Jefferson: Virginia Protest, 1825.
-says not that the government is the answer, he was speaking of individuals.
"The only orthodox object of the institution of government is to
secure the greatest degree of happiness possible to the general
mass of those associated under it." --Thomas Jefferson to M. van
der Kemp, 1812.
- Show that this happiness is by infringing on liberty and the individual. show once that he was speaking as government being the answer.
"It will be said that great societies cannot exist without
government." --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia, 1782.
-No ****, we did not establish an anarchy
"This I hope will be the age of experiments in government, and
that their basis will be founded in principles of honesty, not of
mere force." --Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1796.
-That "experiment" is that of liberty, the opposite of a soft tyrrany....
"We exist, and are quoted, as standing proofs that a government,
so modeled as to rest continually on the will of the whole
society, is a practicable government." --Thomas Jefferson to
Richard Rush, 1820.
-Again so full of fail its rediculous. his view of "practical government" was government that "governs the least"
"The best government is that which governs least." -hdt
and this, one of my favorites
Quote:
"The greatest good we can do our country is to heal its party
divisions and make them one people." --Thomas Jefferson to John
Dickinson, 1801.
That's funny coming from a one sided "true believer" lefty such as yourself. :lol:
