[Mr. Green]

I figure most of you have seen this but with nov 2 rolling around im going to pst it up

How did Thomas 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 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 .
Thom as 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 dont know if there all 100% true quotes from him (though several are) but there all good ones

[hemingray]

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.

Damn straight! I love Thomas Jefferson, and as a free man here is my answer to the banking problem:



P.S. - There isn't that much snow on the ground up here right now. That's an older photo and the deck has since been re-stained. I've been a fan of Jefferson and Ron Paul for a while...
