Motto: "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God"
| Obama, Reid, and Pelosi: Thomas Jefferson Speaks of Them From the Grave by John T. Lewis April 4, 2009 |
I came across this most excellent piece last evening in my daily dose of Thomas Jefferson.
Listen to the Master and Repent.......
Doesn't this sound as if it could have been spoken by a man living today? We have before
us the Federal government completely overwhelming the power of the States and
swallowing up every ounce of republicanism which ever may have existed within these
sovereign States of America.
The end of the quotation sounds so similar to our currently controlled Executive (Obama)
and Legislature (Pelosi and Reid) where they, as Jefferson says, "take the earnings of one
of these branches of industry, .....and put them into the pockets of the other..." Are we not
talking bailouts, company takeovers, progressive taxation, universal health care, and other
forms of complete ownership of every human being? When will these people ever learn?!
The only way to succeed is with a libertarian/Old Right approach to political engagement.
And with this, it must always be based upon the foundations of the Seer himself, Thomas
Jefferson.
[Thomas Jefferson to William Branch Giles, Monticello, December 26, 1825]
Listen to the Master and Repent.......
- "I see .... the rapid strides with which the federal branch of our government is
advancing towards the usurpation of all the rights reserved to the States, and the
consolidation in itself of all powers, foreign and domestic; and that, too, by
constructions which ….leave no limits to their power. Take together the decisions of
the federal court, the doctrines of the President [John Quincy Adams], and the
misconstructions of the ….the legislature of the federal branch, and it is but too
evident, that the three ruling branches ....are in combination to strip their colleagues,
the State authorities, of the powers reserved by them, and to exercise themselves all
functions foreign and domestic. Under the power to regulate commerce, they ….call
it regulation to take the earnings of one of these branches of industry, ......and put
them into the pockets of the other, the most flourishing of all."
