The following quotation is often attributed to [[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."
The quotes noted above appear in no known Jefferson writings. Are you hanging on the hope that the agenda-driven redneck who forwarded that email somehow has some historical insight into Jefferson that those who put together the Jefferson Cyclopedia did not?
You are aware that the Jefferson Cyclopedia contains every single available item down to private letters written by Jefferson? The quotes I noted above do not appear in this comprehensive collection, nor in any collection. Pat Patriot looks like a fool for posting them, and you look like a bigger fool for defending him when he's been proven wrong.
But I would expect no less of you.
The quotes noted above appear in no known Jefferson writings
As I said...the quotes do not appear in any "KNOWN" writings. Which does NOT prove in any way that they are bogus.
Simple truth...you have not proven anything.
Show us the unknown writings, all correspondence and complete oral history of Jefferson...then you might have something resembling proof.
But of course...that is impossible...which is why acting like you have proof of anything is ridiculous.
Kind of funny when you are caught in your own hypocrisy huh?
Excuse me, a BUNCH of bullshit quotes?? Don't you mean a bunch of accurate quotes, with one or two quotes not exactley by TJ?
Pretty clear to me in this thread that you're the one with the contorted logic on the subject.
