OLD DOG
spoken by this patriot..



A very smart man Thomas Jefferson in some cases could be called a prophet.

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


Very Interesting Quote


In light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read what 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 find it very disturbing that society has deviated so far from the intended free society our forefathers fought and died for.” 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 We are getting dangerously close to a society with more recipients than providers!:bang:
Can you say socialism?:angry:

That just about "says it all" but let's not forget to mention the proliferation of drugs thrown into this great country by those from other countries (many of whom are collecting US taxpayer handouts in one form or another WHILE peddling dope)!:bang: :bang: :angry:

Thomas Jefferson would "Roll over in his grave"!

OR they were elected by the highest courts of America. They call themselves the United States Supreme Court Justices :job: :job: I think they fucked us by when they let Bush in instead of Gore :bang: . But that is water under the bridge now and we must move on and try to make it better and we will. :cheers:

George W. was elected by the same process that we have used for over 2 hundred years...
The Democratic party (Gore) wanted the Supreme Court to change that process to a majority vote AFTER he was NOT elected as President. :confused:

Keep in mind that we have both a "House" and "Senate" for reasons that are documented and easily understood as more "Checks and Balances".

I do believe that the media and George W. were responsible for electing Obama...
even though I voted for McCain... I still do feel that Obama was elected by the people - with the highest voter turn out in history - through the electoral college... and should be President.

I also feel that the current state of our economy is the fault AND responsibility of our society as a whole.
I do not feel we will grow by over-inflating our government even more :cursin:

We may have a chance at CHANGE, when we get over our feelings of "entitlement", and roll up our sleeves to do some work to actually MAKE Intelligent Changes with some of the wisdom from the incredible minds that WORKED to make our United States a GREAT COUNTRY

While I agree with this I also ask..

Who else is there to vote for? The whole system is very corrupt

There isn't a party that will stop the spending, taxation or handing our hard earned money to people who will not.

The scale has been tipped and there are to many people with their hands out with voting rights.

Thomas Jefferson wrote a lot of great things but even back then he lost out on a lot of his ideas even though his party was in power for 25 years
