ABC, Christiane asks her panel who their favorite founding father is.
Stengel - Madison
Will - James Madison
Lepore - I think she referred to a woman????
Dyson - Jefferson.....brings up Jefferson’s relationship with Sally Hemings (the black slave that Jefferson supposedly fathered children with). WOW, Dyson never takes off his race-colored glasses.
ABC round table on “The Immigration Debate”. Christiane makes comments how our immigration process isn’t working so well these days (referring to the illegal aliens). (Hey, Christiane, that’s not immigration - that’s called breaking the law.)
Jose on the panel - an illegal alien WaPo reporter who “came out” lately that he WAS illegal - he did it to bring out everything that’s wrong with the “immigration debate”.
Mel Martinez - our system hasn’t been working.
Michelle Reed - educators just want to make sure the next generation is educated (IOW, illegal or not, doesn’t matter)
George Will - big differences from the wave of immigration that occurred a century ago. Coming across the Atlantic served as a “severing process” from their past countries. Today’s wave is just walking across the border, going back and forth, sending money “home”. IOW, there is no severing process from previous country loyalties.
American economy of today can’t absorb these waves of unskilled labor.
Today’s immigrants (illegals, George!) are immigrating (breaking the law) into a welfare state.
Isn't he that slave-raping figurehead of the democrat party?
Obama—Mao=favorite founding father.
I got into a big hoo-hah on another thread about Jefferson and this thing about him and a Hemings’ child.
The rule is, if you say it enough, it becomes true.
Here’s my first big question....if Tom and Sally had a kid together...WHY DIDN’T SALLY TELL THE WORLD?
She never mentioned it to anyone, not even her other children.
I read a book on this. The author made a compelling case that it was simply not true.
Jefferson was a very devout religious man. He had a wife for many years, there was no other evidence that he cheated in any way.
The biggest problem....Hemmings never said a word to anybody about her and Tom. Jeez louise, women love to talk this kind of thing.
The blacks, they want to use this to paint a founding father as a worthless philanderer who went around knocking up his hapless slave women.
And, since Tom’s not around to defend himself, saying it over and over it becomes the truth.
and don’t give me that story about a DNA test. Somewhere they got a DNA sample of Jefferson’s Uncle’s hairdressers’s third cousing and they found some kind of spurious DNA relationship between it and a descendent of the Hemmings son allegedly with Jefferson.
Which you, and The Wise I, would also have the same weird DNA relationship on the third cusp of the fifth polyp of the bottom half of a chromosone.
