Thomas Jefferson is an example of why having heroes makes no sense. We should study those who came before us, examine their faults and triumphs, in order to become better people ourselves. Thomas Jefferson was both a gifted intellectual and a immoral cretin. I guess we all are, on some level, and must continue to perfect personally.
The Founders weren't saints: they had wives, mistresses & promoted the pirating of His Majesty's ships. There was a thriving black market in the Colonies that John Hanson & John Jay did quite well with. These men always claimed to be Protestant Christians. There are many quotes floating about fr. private correspondence & taken out-of-context seemingly conveying "atheistic" notions. So? All men are blasphemers, all men are roguish, yet not 1 of these men claimed "atheism" as their Faith.
"If he ran for President today - in this "sound-bite" culture - Thomas Jefferson would likely get pummeled. It was his voice - more likely than not - which made him intensely dislike public speaking. Not made for the television age, it was high-pitched. In addition, he spoke with a lisp.
Jefferson despised giving speeches so much that he sent his "State of the Union" addresses to Congress."
-Carole D. Bos, J.D., author of THOMAS JEFFERSON: "SILENT MEMBER"
he didnt have a speech impediment. and even if he did, it couldnt have been this bad because he was a stirring speechmaker. and this video is really really stupid.
actually that was changed, all taxes are constitutional now. a new amendment was later added to cancel out the previous amendment. Ron Paul is not an anarchist.
There is no taxation with representation in America today considering that most people don't vote, since the system is regularly rigged with voting and campaigning restrictions. It should be noted also that the Constitution says all payments must be accepted in gold and silver, something that the Federal Reserve has done away with for over almost a century now.
I hope you aren't offended. It's quite simple. Go to google, type in thomas jefferson speech impediment, and see all that comes up.
I really recommend The Thomas Jefferson Hour, a public radio program. You can also find it for free on iTunes podcasts. Over the past year I've learned so much about the 3rd president.
Yes I did that and came up with 1 result that, so far as I can tell, is not verifiable nor very in depth. At the least I can still assert that this video is, as stated previously, highly disrespectful even if it only be an exaggeration. So I will ask you again, can you provide adequate evidence? i.e. Do you have a respected source?!

Alright thanks Wikipedia was interesting. I didn't know he had a speech impediment and thank you for making me aware. I guess I did overreact a bit too as Jefferson is someone I look up to a lot.

I'm not a racist. Our countries founders obviously believed believed that slavery was cool. Ron Paul thinks the country founders had everything right. So guess what?
RON PAUL 2008 for SLAVERY to come back!!!!
Tell me, is Ron Paul for or against a minimum wage? I know the answer. Welcome back slavery! VOTE PAUL OR WE WILL BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU!
You sir are a fucking idiot. Simply becuase our founding fathers owned slaves does not mean that Ron Paul supports slavery. Your comments are blasphemous and borderline liable. Ron Paul is a true Constitutionalist and nowhere in said Constitution does it grant slave ownership! As for a minimum wage Ron Paul is firm in his belief that each state is free to make and ammend laws that affect THEIR residents! Why don't you go read a book you moron!

Ron Paul is a child molester. Ron Paul is a conspiracy theorist. Ron Paul is a child predator. Ron Paul raped monkeys at the zoo. Ron Paul attacked a 3 year old child for his candy. Ron Paul beat up a 92 year old woman for her vote. Ron Paul physically abused his wife. Ron Paul smokes crack cocaine. Ron Paul shoots heroin. Ron Paul is a criminal. Ron Paul is a registered sex offender. Ron Paul is a dork. Ron Paul is a gutless coward who shot people in the back in his youth.
no fuckface, this is not my first time on the internet nor is it my first time defending Ron Paul against dumbass inbred redneck hillbillies such as yourself. Furthermore, I believe that all the blasphemous comments you made about Ron Paul being this or doing that are more than likely referring to yourself and the fact that your mom and dad are probably brother and sister!

You are delusional sack of shit. Ron Paul doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of winning. People who do not support Ron Paul are not communists/neocons/or illuminati agents.
RON PAUL IS NOT THE LORD AND SAVIOR.
You are a brainwashed cult member. I just can't wait until this election is over and you can crawl back to the hole you came out of.
Interesting that you call someone else an idiot since you are so ignorant of what the Constitution is intended to do. If it doesn't expressly forbid something, it condones it. Thus it approves of slavery since it doesn't prohibit it. And "blasphemous"? Is Ron Paul a god now?
Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. With Ron Paul, we'll get slavery back!! YES!
ROCK ON!!
VOTE RON PAUL 2008 or the cult will come and beat your ass. Ron Paul meetups is a front for violent subversive activity meant to intimidate people into voting for Paul. You will do it, or you'll get the beat down of your life.

LOL LOL
The Constitution says Congress can tax IT IS CONSTITUIONAL - Ron Paul is an anarchist
THE REVOLUTION WAS ABOUT TAXATION WITH NO REPRESENTATION NOT TAXATION - Get over it
Don't Believe me - Google Whiskey Rebellion and see what Washington and Hamilton did to Libertarian Traitors who didn't pay TAXES

Once again I searched Thomas Jefferson speech impediment and got multiple hits, including wikipedia.
Perhaps try Thomas Jefferson lisp in google and see what you get.
And, so what if he did? Speech impediments clearly are not linked to thought impediments, as THJ's biography and writings demonstrate.
