Give Me Money And Take My Liberty

Thomas Jefferson SC Take My Liberty and Give me Money

Even liberals are prone to being effusive about the intellect and perspicacity of Thomas Jefferson. That is, until they actually look at the results of that intellect, other than the magnificent but necessarily broad Declaration of Independence. JFK, when reasonably sober and taking a break from his non-stop sexual predation, once opined to his dinner guests that this was as intelligent a group as has ever been in this room, except when Thomas Jefferson dined alone. He was, of course, pretending to be erudite and witty, perhaps achieving the latter.

In any event, reading the Jefferson quotes above, even those “educated” in government schools must admit that he and the Founders feared an overbearing central government. Given that the federal government has and requires the powers enumerated in the Constitution, most of our trouble stems from “emergency” or other lamely-excused deviations and expansions therefrom. It started with Dishonest Abe, who found it convenient to ignore Supreme Court rulings, borrow enormous sums of money for his war, throw inconvenient individuals in jail for impure thoughts, and was fine-tuned by FDR. FDR discovered how easy it was to buy votes with tax dollars; he never stopped, and his war opened the floodgates. Not for nothing did Bismarck opine that “War is the health of the state.” Here is a small but significant point about Lincoln’s war: Prior to it, one referred to these United States; after, the United States. States’ rights never recovered; nor is there much hope they will.

“We voted for more of him….”. Did we? Anyone else honestly think Owebama honestly won the election?
(if so, it might be the first “honest” thing he’s ever been involved in)

Aid to states or foreign aid: “I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending on objects of benevolence with money of their constituents.” -James Madison

Also unconstitutional: far more than ‘emergency’ actions are the numerous “loopholes” Congress invented to avoid the “chains” of the Constitution.
–A#1: the so called “Commerce Clause”.
–The “general welfare” loophole
–the “take Care” clause (Executive Orders)
and a few other “liberal” interpretations of probably the most anti-government document ever drafted.
(liberals hate rules, such as the Constitution, unless THEY make them…. often excluding themselves since they are the self-proclaimed ‘intellectual elite’)

From the very first time I heard him speak I knew he was a liar and a two time talker, salesman selling garbage ! This is what we have now….garbage ! The country is going down real fast in every way possible !
Freedoms, money, security with other countries, religions, races, property, feeling unsafe, not being able to plan ahead !!!!!!

“I, however, place economy among the first and most important republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared.”

“The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.”

-Thomas Jefferson

I will gladly tie these parasites down with the chains of the Constitution right after we clean the cess pool out in Washington DC.

The liberals hate the Constitution. They take an oath to protect and uphold the Constitution and then try to destroy it and I might add are doing a pretty good job of accomplishing their objective.

I totally understand and believe in its truth. Here are some things to remember 1 Hitler said in the 40's, "The way to take over a country is to take away military and their guns. 2 Krushev (sp) said in the 60s, "You (U.S.) will be taken over without a shot being fired. You will be taken over from within."

So America if we don't act instead of react we will be taken over by our government as many of our past politicians have said.

Next rule is get a hold of the people ie: let some of them set on their butts and give them money therefore buy votes.

Next rule of take over is the press. They have already got CBS,NBC, and ABC that is so biased on their political Democist agenda that it's just not funny anymore.

Next rule is to get a hold of the money. Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo and financial institutions AIG $600,000 parties.

Bankrupt America Obama keeps making more money and giving it away even to enemies Egypt is a good example.

Next rule Get ahold of all big businesses Chrysler is now forced owned by Obama and now owns 57% of Chrysler. You know imported from Detroit. Loan to General Motors. Petroleum companies on the cost of gasoline, natural gas. Obmma has and said he won't ok signing into the Canadian pipeline.

Next rule is getting hold Healthcare. Obamacare which has so many loop holes and it shows once again the our pharmaceutical companies that put it together are very greedy and dishonest.

Next rule is to get a hold of our children by allowing kids to tell their parents not parents raising their kids and getting a hold on their education because they will learn it the way the new texts say it is which is totally controlled by the government and totally incorrect by our history but is socialistic in warping our kids minds. A type of brainwashing

As the old man from Missouri said if I'm wrong show me!

Jon I believe that you are right. Just remember in 2016 Hillary Clinton CANNOT be elected president. She has proven herself as bad as Obama.

JFK was right. The authors of the Declaration WERE the most intelligent people ever assembled in that room. Comparatively speaking, the persons in that room now belong in an asylum.

President Davis takes great pains to tout Abe Lincoln as one of his standard bearers. Yes, Lincoln walked all over the Constitution in the name of saving the Union. In a manner of speaking, he would not let HIS good, legitimate crisis go to waste. In the long run and on-balance the end result was correct. Segue now to Davis and his agenda: HAVE YOU CAUGHT ON TO THE FACT that Davis' agenda couched in the glory of Lincoln is NOTHING MORE THAN A PERVERSION - DEVIOUSLY CRAFTED AS GUISE UNDER THE FAME OF A NATIONAL HERO ?? Davis "crisis" is manufactured purely for the purpose of achieving a Marxist end. How sad it is that Davis and his perpetrators KNOW US SO WELL as to have confidence in their eventual "success". This is an old, old game. Those who fail to heed the lessons of history.................. In the words of comic strip Pogo as he spoke to his pal Albert: "We have met the enemy and it is us". Who would have thought that Nikita Kruschev read Pogo?

Thomas Jefferson was simply a political genius. Actually that is an understatement. When I read the Declaration of Independence, I can feel the incredible strength of character of Jefferson and the humility that Christianity taught him all in the same work. I am not a republican or a demorat. I am a patriot. To me, smaller government = more enterprise. It's that simple. Jefferson also said:

"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". Very eerie. As if he knew Obama personally.
