Don't Tell Me It Can't Be Done

Don't tell me it can't be done.....

Time for a little history lesson.

John Kennedy once said to an assembled group of scholars in the White House, "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House - with the possible 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
 
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 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
 
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson
 
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
 
In light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read what Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
 
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.
 
Doesn't this sound eerily familar to what is happening in America today?

Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd President of the United States. He and John Adams were most responsible for the writing of our Declaration of Independence. They were very good friends when they were working together on the Declaration of Independence but later became mortal enemies when one became a Republican and one a Federalist.

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. Thomas Jefferson

I will not be guilty of being silent. Will you?

Don't tell me it can't be done...we can return to our Liberty and Self Government.
