Taken Over From Within?

Gotta love Thomas Jefferson.  Many know he was one of our most prolific Presidents of all time but lately I'm starting to see his prophetic side as well.  He warned us about a too large government saying "a government that is big enough to give you all you want is also big enough to take all you have." 

I saw this Jefferson quote today in our local paper  and thought again how prophetic he seemed to be given the signs of the times:

"The two enemies of the people are government and criminals, so let us tie the first one down with the chains of the Constitution, so the first will not become the legalized version of the second."

Anyone with any grasp of history knows that Thomas Jefferson was a liberal, but by todays standard, he would be considered a dangerous right wing extremist and if he were here today his internet writings would probably be flagged by one of Herr Obama's snitches.

yes and I can easily make him out to be a bible thumper using his own writings even tho in his day he was one of the least religious men of his time.  But going by his writings I'm sure he would more than disapprove at the way things have transpired.
