Jefferson was a towering figure for the ages--an American equivalent of a Renaissance Man! The efforts to tear down Jefferson, and other genuine American heroes is part of a Leftist war on our cultural heritage.

Yes, all this is true. He was also a deist, a freethinker, a denier of the supernatural, and published his own version of the bible with all the miracles taken out (because he didn't believe in them). And on top of that, he supported the French Revolution and may have been in contact with subversive Jacobin forces.

Henotheistic ancestor worship will not save us from evil. This is the road taken by the European right wing (the idolatry of "blood and soil") and we all know where that ended.

The only answer to our peril is the One True G-d. Not the "American 'gxd'" (which never existed), but the REAL G-d.

I understand the reaction to internationalism, but we must not opt instead for a "planet of peoples" where each nation has its own "truth" created in its own image. We need G-d. He doesn't need us. We need Him!

And no, I am not a "neocon." I am a Theocrat and a religious fundamentalist. This V-dare ideology is every bit as bad as Communism because each denies HaShem, one in the name of universal materialism, the other in the name of idolatry of local "gxds."

I do not have the time, right now, to refute your premises with respect to Jefferson. He was not the deist, you suggest; which will be seen from his continuous discussions of Creation & the specific Creator. His "Bible" was simply a compilation of the actual words of Jesus, and not intended as an attack on the rest of the Bible. (Yes he was skeptical as to some passages.) As for his initial sympathy with the French Revolution, which was no different than his friend LaFayette's, he recoiled in horror when the Jacobins revealed their egalitarian fanaticism and began lopping off heads.

I will deal with your misrepresentation of the European Right, when I have more time. (The traditional Church in Europe--if you actually understand the term "right wing," which arises from the seating in the French National Assembly in 1789--was a significant part of the right wing.)

Later!

Sorry, but you’ve bought into a series of lies told about Jefferson. Suggest you read “The Jefferson Lies” by David Barton. What is currently popular is simply not true.
