In these wild turbulent times, do you think our Jefferson memorial icon could face the prospect of being desecrated or even removed by the radical revisionists??? <br

Back in the distant past when i was working in the Federal City, I took inspirations from his classic Greek style temple memorial with TJ quotes on the wall. One immortal quote on the beautiful rotunda I would add to this outstanding list: 'I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.' ~ Thomas Jefferson<br

Thomas Jefferson knew because he himself studied the previous failed attempts at government. He understood

actual history, the nature of God, His laws and the nature of man. That happens to be way more than what most understand today.

Jefferson really knew his stuff.

A voice from the past to lead us in the future:

John F. Kennedy

held a dinner in the White House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement:

This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined

alone.

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe. --

Thomas Jefferson

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

Thomas Jefferson

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

--

Thomas Jefferson

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he

disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

I believe that *banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

*Alexander Hamilton's Plan was superior to current Fed

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their

currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the

banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until

their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

I wish we could get this out to every American!

I'm doing my part keep Jefferson's eternal flame of truth, lit brightly
