Quotes: Woodrow Wilson vs. Thomas Jefferson

[1polymath]

Thomas Jefferson cannot hope to have much merit in our society. Ppl in his time had to deal w/Native Americans, Slave Revolts, and wild animals so a gun was your best protection. Never could he have imagined the NRA, AK-47's and the war on crime and drugs!

[ThePelicans44]

Woodrow Wilson took the bait before he realized there was a hook on the other end. Jefferson warned of this. Since Woodrow was a shortsighted and easily corrupted man, he fucked us over in favor of gangster-like bankers and signed the Federal Reserve Act which has put us in a great deal of debt and has undermined our say in our own government.

@ThePelicans44 u r 100% correct but he realised his great mistake later n said the greatest deception in human history in been commited by the FED against my ppl my country am sure he died with a broken heart But cause of his huge mistake americans are suffering its all in THE MONEY MASTERS but there was never a man equal to the Great T Jefferson not since the ancient athenians n even they may fall short of his standard a Great loss to america n the world

[1polymath]

@ThePelicans44 Not that I agree with a Private Banking System but I was curious to know in what way could we expand credit if it were not for the FED. If we go to a gold standard whereas only 300 billion dollars worth of gold can be circulated into the economy would seem very stagnant on economic terms. Also even if America credit defaults and goes bankrupt, the gold we have will make sure we always have a country since thats the only real currency we could trade internationally.

[ThePelicans44]

@1polymath Competing currencies that are more localized, like a state currency would allow credit unions and such to still extend credit. Competition would force banks to be smarter with who and how much credit they lend out. Our current credit system drastically' inflates the money supply and serves to keep the elites who are at the top, there forever and without any competition. There are other alternatives out there, if you research. Gold and silver, like you mentioned. I'm still learning too

Woodrow Wilson = Hitler = Satan = Greatest Son of a Bitch in HISTORY

[ORACLE063]

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."

we all know jefferson rules, the only who was capable to talk with him at the same level was no other then madison and we all know that.

[54nomore]

Jefferson to me is the greatest President America ever had....

[MrJasonekos]

@54nomore that's debatable, his ideal form of a nation would consist of Yeomen farmers and little to do with a government that had some control of the Nations future. We all know that his second term was a disaster and he even admitted it himself... Jefferson had many flaws and is nowhere near the prestige of presidents like FDR, George Washington and Ronald Reagan. If it were up to him there would be a very weak government with no central bank and the debt from the Rev. wouldn't have been paid

[polygamous1]

@54nomore n the greatest stateman of times at least since ancient athens we ALL need out OWN T Jefferson pls God what an amazing man am not american but am proud of him just the same forget one in a Million this man is one in a BILLION

[Brownyman]

[hardhatg69]

jefferson on all fronts except friendship...... he must have had some pretty shytty friends

[GoSlash27]

So far it's Jefferson in a landslide.

[tonyybrunoo1234]

Woodrow Wilson was an asshole with a brain

[MelOAyness]

Wilson was a fan of the robber-barons whereas Jefferson was a man for the people. The comparison is not quite apples-to-apples, is it?

[ALITL8]

Thomas Jefferson gets my vote!

[NABegley]

I elect Thomas Jefferson any day above the foreign interventionists and democratic nonsense of Woodrow Wilson.

[citizenlibertygc]
