Here's To You, Mr. Jefferson
Political Castaway ^ | 4/9/2009 | Selkirk

The video speaks for itself. No additional commentary is necessary. So, instead of commentary, I merely provide some of Thomas Jefferson's wisdom to introduce this fine piece:

"Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have. The course of history shows us that as a government grows, liberty decreases."

"The principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."

Video after the jump.

You know, I was at Monticello this week, and I was surprised to see that it was not a DEEE-luxe apartment in the sky. It was on top of a mountain, though, so I guess that’s close enough.

Truer words, on this subject, have never been spoken.

Remarkable mind that man had.

Outstanding!

If General Patton were still with us, I know he’d say, “Selkirk?, I love that genius sarcastic SOB. Hell! he’s on my staff...”

Super and we need more.
