Big Government Isn't The Solution; It's The Problem

Just like a Radical Leftist/Communist, has nothing constructive to say about the message itself, so it's time for attacking the person & turn it into a game of semantics with Intersectional Politics.
Here's a clue: Intersections are where most wrecks occur & oh boy, have we been seeing Lefty groups wrecking into each other A LOT.
That's the problem when people allow Radical Democrats (who don't even want anything to do with Democracy, BTW) to define & divide yourselves into neat little groupings & treat people differently just because of an arbitrary label. Then, in a futile attempt to herd a bunch of cats into the same direction, group starts to contend against group until you get where we see you now...The Left is eating its own.

Go ahead, refuse to learn any real facts, miss the real wisdom & embrace your Leftist enforced ignorance until you crash & burn like the little manipulated puppets you are. The rest of us (the majority) will just shake our heads & wonder how you let yourselves give up control to a bunch of criminal politicians that don't care anything at all about you except that you'll vote Democrat & go riot in the streets when they command it.

You ASSUME he meant THE Thomas Jefferson. Great and true statement nevertheless.

It wasn't another Thomas Jefferson either. Why are you getting involved in defending someone else's misinformation?

Because of trolls like you who jump in to malign. The quote simple says "Thomas Jefferson". There are many people named Thomas Jefferson throughout history, but you ASSUME (ME sees you make an ASS of U) that it's our Founding Father.

Nowhere in his post does he say that it was the FF. Nowhere is a date given for the quote.

I don't know if some dude named Thomas Jefferson actually said it. You've perhaps ruled out who you imagined said it, but that means nothing (like most liberal comments). But even your link doesn't rule out that the former President said it. Only that it cannot be found.

Regardless, the quote still stands as truth, no matter who said it.

Now go away and quit policing the site until you mature..

It wasn't said by a person named Thomas Jefferson. It was said by a person named John Sharp Williams. If John Sharp Williams ever identified as a Thomas Jefferson for even a second, he never signed anything he wrote as such and therefore this is a complete and total misattribution and therefore you're spouting bullshit in yet another act of obstinance because "something I upvoted was wrong" is somehow sacrilegious to admit to.

Nope... your link says "OTHER" attributions. Not "ACTUAL" attribution. It neither confirms nor denies whether the former president Thomas Jefferson actually said it... just that no evidence has been found.

Likewise, as you've been shown, the OP NEVER claimed the former president said it. Nowhere. You imagined that yourself.

You've been proven wrong and you're just mad that your "gotcha" moment fizzled and died.

Sad that makes you so unhappy to get corrected. You should be used to it by now.

Because it could have been someone who signed off as Thomas Jefferson without having any connection or formal identity to the man? Have I got that right?

Nope. Because it could have been ANYONE named Thomas Jefferson. Been explained to you already.

And as of right now, *** I have chosen to identify as "Thomas Jefferson"...***

So...

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

There... now Thomas Jefferson HAS in fact said it and the quote is attributable.

I now no longer choose to identify as Thomas Jefferson. But tough, you liberals set the silly ground rules for playing along with self-identity, so you have no more to say on the matter.

The deal that U.S. courts give you is that you're generally allowed to change the name you identify with provided that
A) you're not to operate under your old name any longer
B) you swear an oath in court that you're not going to intentionally use your name for deceptive purposes such as impersonating someone famous with the same name.

So this comment falls apart straight away!

Nope. You libbies hate the law and have declared that someone can identify as black/white/indian/man/woman/toothbrush, whatever. I never said I was legally changing my name. Just identifying as that name for the duration of my post.

So nothing fell apart at all. Stephen King wrote as Richard Bachman and "signed" his books that way for a time. Didn't legally change his name either.

You failed. Again.

I love it when you guys get all riled up about "facts", but of course, only when you think you can use them against those with whom you disagree.

But when you post a bunch of crap that is not based in fact... what happens when people call you on it? The TDS kicks into high gear. You ignore the facts. You call us all Trumpftards, or whatever childish name you're currently using.

Try being consistent in how you think, for a change. Apply your principles consistently and evenhandedly to all issues. You just might find that you don't really believe what you think you believe.
