Thomas Jefferson wanted 1) no mandatory taxes 2) almost no power from the federal government 3) no "large government spending programs" like the Bank of the United States.

No doubt, Thomas Jefferson was a Right Wing Extremist!

@rbouverat Netherlands. And I work as maritime officer on a cargo ship. Payment is about 4300 euro (+/- depending on route) as opposed to 3800 dollars that most american companys pay my rank. Plus I have very good public healthcare almost for free. I pay about 42% on everything a month (taxes, apartment, insurance etc.) and that is more than in america... but it is worth every cent. And I get 4 months of vacation in a country where pot is legal... can it get better? :D (age 27)

@chris1coria1 "Weak Atheism?" No, he definatley believed in a creator who possessed the moral capability to endow us with rights.

Although he rejected the trinity (as many of today's christians do, ex Jehovah's Witnesses), he still considered himself a "christian." It was part of the foundation for his moral beliefs.

@aaa333ify Well he was a deist, which is considered weak Atheism. We often spoke about the dangers of Christianity, something a conservative in today's society wouldn't even think about cause their brainwashed. Thomas Jefferson was all about freedom, civil liberties, and science. Something conservatives have never even heard of.

you make fun of conservatives programs and sites for being biased but you seem to be extremely biased too???

[EkteBoy]

No offense but do u expect me to think this isn't bias?

And I support liberals

I found it. A good TYT video.

He's not a mere simulacrum of a person after all.

Had me worried with his adult-ish "Absolutely"s, but his discussion of Mending Wall was interesting and utterly human and intelligent.

Cenk's aptitude is in not politics and current events and headlines, although he toils away painfully at it. If he could control his temper, dial down the ego, and improve his listening and interactive skills he'd be a fine teacher of literature.

Thomas Jefferson was a Libertarian. The complete opposite of Liberal

[kerpal3]

madison and jefferson were democratic-republican party which has nothing to do with either of the parties today and alexander hamilton was a federalist which is a party that died out after the hartford convention. These guys are idiots. BTW Jefferson believed in strict construction of the constitution which prooves jefferson was not liberal and hamilton wanted a loose construction of the constitution which proves he is not a conservative
