The Wisdom or Was It Simply The Common Sense of Thomas Jefferson?

by Ben Taylor

In view of where America is as a Nation, the following quotes by Thomas Jefferson tell us that we, “The People” have ignored truth, common sense, and history and have barreled headlong to the precipice of complete national disaster by permitting ourselves to be deceived by evil men and evil systems. To ignore this wisdom any longer is to simply drive the final nails in our National coffin. Are you paying attention America?

Editor’s Note- Once people buy into the concept that a group of people can by force do what no individual person has the right to do to another person, we are well on the road to the building of a welfare state enforced by a socialist/fascist tyranny. Ben Taylor

“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

“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.” Thomas Jefferson

Editor’s Note- Debt, both personal and national, especially to privately owned and controlled banking institutions, such as the Federal Reserve, that practice usury and predatory financing have done the greatest damage to America. Ben Taylor

“It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.” Thomas Jefferson
 
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. 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.” Thomas Jefferson

Editor’s Note- Big government always becomes a self serving and self perpetuating monster for rent to the highest bidder. Ben Taylor

“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.” 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

Editor’s Note- The loss of our rural and agricultural base has done untold damage to America socially and the loss of our manufacturing and industrial base to offshore interests may be just as terrible. Nations who would dance with joy over the carcass of America are now the one’s selling us our daily sustenance and then putting the profits into military arms and technology to destroy us. Ben Taylor

“When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.” Thomas Jefferson

Editor’s Note- The “Right To Bear Arms” has nothing to do with sporting or hunting; it has everything to do with being a check and balance of the People to keep ‘out of control’ government under control. If we allow this new domestic arms control movement to continue, our freedom will be lost. Ben Taylor

“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” 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.” Thomas Jefferson
 
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” Thomas Jefferson
