The Words of Thomas Jefferson


Posted: Jun 21, 2012

The property of this country is absolutely concentered in a very few hands, having revenues of from half a million of guineas a year downwards. These employ the flower of the country as servants, some of them having as many as 200 domestics, not labouring. They employ also a great number of manufacturers, and tradesmen, and lastly the class of labouring husbandmen. But after all these comes the most numerous of all the classes, that is, the poor who cannot find work. I asked myself what could be the reason that so many should be permitted to beg who are willing to work, in a country where there is a very considerable proportion of uncultivated lands? These lands are kept idle mostly for the aske of game. It should seem then that it must be because of the enormous wealth of the proprietors which places them above attention to the increase of their revenues by permitting these lands to be laboured. I am conscious that an equal division of property is impracticable. But the consequences of this enormous inequality producing so much misery to the bulk of mankind, legislators cannot invent too many devices for subdividing property, only taking care to let their subdivisions go hand in hand with the natural affections of the human mind.

Anyone Been To St. Thomas?Jan 27, 2014
Hubby and I are going first full week in March.  We have never been.  Any "must see" things we should do?  I am all for basking in the sun with my nook and kindle.  At first, he really did not want to go, and now with the winter that the country has experienced, he is looking forward to getting away from the snow and the cold.  The lady we are renting the beach house from is picking us up at the airport, so if we rent a car, it will be only for a few days (they drive on ...

Dean Koontz/Odd Thomas MovieJan 16, 2013
Spinoff of a thread in Politics. Does anyone read Dean Koontz? I *loved* him in the 80s, and even though he's become kind of formulaic, I still have a soft spot for him. I especially love the Odd Thomas series and I'm stoked about the upcoming movie. The casting is kind of (forgive me) odd, (Patton Oswalt as Big Ozzie? mmmkay) but I'm still shamelessly looking forward to it. I'd love to have seen James McAvoy as Odd, but I guess he's too old. ...

Justice Thomas Disregards ConstitutionMay 07, 2014
This is a perfect example of why Supreme Court Justices should be impeachable. Justice Clarence Thomas believes the First Amendment only applies to federal government, not individual states. He agrees that states are free to establish their own OFFICIAL RELIGION as deemed fit by state governments, Establishment Clause be damned. ...

Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas--the Good Ol' DaysOct 20, 2010
Wow!  Surprised this has come back from 1991.  My impression back then was that Anita Hill was very level-headed, was consistent and detailed with her story, even though the questioning went on and on and was quite brutal.   Even though I believe he exhibited disgusting behavior, he was still confirmed as a Supreme Court Judge.  What do you think would happen today if it was a similar situation? ...

Clarence Thomas Is Conspicuously Absent In New Black HistoryOct 05, 2016
Justice Clarence Thomas, the second black man to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, is practically absent from the new National Museum of African American History and Culture. Anita Hill, the woman who accused Thomas of sexual harassment, however, is given prominent billing in the museum. The new Smithsonian, which opened in September, gives Hill pride of place in an exhibit on blacks in the 1990s. The exhibit features testimonies trumpeting her courage and the surge of women’s activism th ...

My step-father and I have always been very close.  He started dating my mother almost 44 years ago.   My mom died almost five years ago.   I  have taken care of him, and visited and ate with him almost every day.  I moved in with him a few years back when he had a total hip replacement, and then had a seizure and lost his license for six months.  I did literally everything for him.  Since mom died I devoted my life to him.  In fact, I ...

Obama In His Own WordsFeb 29, 2012
Remember folks, these are Obama's words. On June 24, 2008, Obama said in demonizing Bush: What Washington has done is what Washington always does – it’s peddled false promises, irresponsible policy, and cheap gimmicks that might get politicians through the next election, but won’t lead America toward the next generation of renewable energy. And now we’re paying the price. Now we’ve fallen behind the rest of the world. Now we’re forced to beg Saudi Arabi ...

Is There Any Words To Describe How Low She Will GoMar 05, 2015
I do not know of such a word to describe how low and at what lengths she will go with her lies.  The answer Greg is yes, she does think everyone is stupid.  This is why she is dispicable and not a leader.  She is not someone who young girls can look up to and she is not inspiring.  Please, someone save us from them.   Or better yet, someone save them from themselves. http://video.foxnews.com/v/4096153022001/gutfeld-does-hillary-clinton-think-were-stupid/?#sp=show-c ...

Wise Words Never More Needed Than NowJul 18, 2012
I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments. (Colossians 2:4). Do you listen in on God's council? Do you limit wisdom to yourself? (Job 15:8). For all that is in the world--the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions--is not from the Father but is from the world (1 John 2:16). For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice (James 3:16). Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool; ev ...
