"[s]ome men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them like the ark of the Covenant, too sacred to be touched.

Thomas Jefferson (on reform of the Virginia Constitution)
Thomas Jefferson would be shocked to know that the United States still existed and people were still fighting over it. Then he'd retire to Monticello and not return phone calls.
People with solutions, such as the founders, have always been few & far between.
Within this video, you said;
"I have warned you in the past of what would happen if you allowed the government to remove your rights or take control, as they have".
That which occurs when government "denies" people their rights, is something that everybody knows. Thus, of what value is your statement? The founders did indeed warn us. However, they warned us of what will enable the government to deny us our rights.
The fact that you perceive rights as something that can be "removed", is an indication of that you might have not yet understood the true nature of "rights", as understood by the founders. The "rights" of man are existent & cannot be made to not exist. However, man can be denied of his rights. This is precisely the reason why Jefferson wrote; "all men are CREATED equal and are endowed by their CREATOR" etc. Man's rights are innately inherent from his creation... endowed by his Creator. Thus, no
man possesses the right to deny any other man his/her rights... for man is not the Creator. Therefor, the warning from the founders, which they impressed upon the people on numerous occasions, was as follows; "if you let go of your Christianity, you will lose your prosperity, your liberty & your nation". The "Founders" could have been a book amongst the prophets. For in the wake of the tremendously deceptive farces of Bush & Evolution, indeed we see our prosperity, liberty & nation slipping away

I've often wondered how many Americans have recognized Ron Paul to be the modern day Thomas Jefferson. Even then, what may be the reasons for which they've recognized it. Most people who do recognize it, do from categorizing them both as "Libertarian". Jefferson was indeed a Christian, as is Paul. However, Jefferson's political thinking, as is Paul's, was
not at all consistent with the political thinking of mainstream Christianity. Ron Paul is a Christian but he speaks of legalizing drugs... not at all the political thinking of mainstream Christianity. In reading Jefferson's political thinking, it is for reasons such as that Ron Paul "drug" example that people think Jefferson wasn't a Christian. Due to his politics, 200 years from now, people may perceive the same of Paul. The Congressman does indeed arrive at his conclusions from a Christian
mindset. Its as follows; Since even God does not impose his will upon man... granting "freewill". Then what right has government to impose its will upon man? The answer is that government, as a institution, possesses absolutely no rights whatsoever. However, this does not mean that Paul's thinking is that a no rules, "free for all" should be permitted. The drug issue is particular in that he certainly recognizes that the Federal Government is the "Kingpin" of the nation & that the illegality of
drugs is the cause of the violent crime associated with them. There are plenty of legal, Pharmaceutical drugs that alter the consciousness to even greater degrees than do illicit drugs. Also, due to the great amount of money that can be gained by the middleman (doctors) is why Pharmaceuticals are indeed often obtained in violation of the regulations... but without the violent crime. Thus, legalization will at least eliminate the violent crime & can be regulated to disallow the under aged
okay, dude, with the immigration; Jefferson resisted the Alien act, supporting the thousands of immigrants and refugees in the United States, believing that it was wrong to further displace people. keep your opinions to out of Jefferson's mouth.
@ozymandaious Thank you Jefferson would have never supported ron paul. The Paul supporters would label him as someone trying to subvert the constitution. I think its funny that they think they can claim they know Jefferson and the Constitution better than us
We Americans are stupid...we elect people that we know are going to fuck things up...take Bush for example he fucked up the first four years yet got elected again..now look where we are thanks to him..our government is in everyone's business except in those of their own country...imagine all that we could do with the money that is being spend in this stupid war...other countries don't need us in their business...let's help each other before we help others..war is not the answer!
Hey mabe one day it will cut your food for you to so you don't choke. You make it sound like food is dangerous, get a grip. Building roads is something I actually think the gov should do. And yes, it is gov by the people and it also says we have an obligation to dissolve the government when it oversteps it's boundaries. For instance when it becomes a Leftist Fascist institution telling people what kind of vehicle to drive. I drive a Kia Spectra but have every right to drive a semi if I feel.
People are un self regulating...who the fuck regulates the government? You simpletons crack me up. You have this distrust for one private institutions run by humans and then blindly put all your ignorant faith in government? You're a fucking moron and so are all you Obama voters.
Jefferson was a slave owner.

@CDanielzSpecialist I can imagine Jefferson leaving for France, not because its better, only to get away.
