You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, and that usually gets the job done. Just ask our elected friends in Washington.

Stone Mt., since you were not alive during Jeffersons time , I assume that you did not know of the situation for slaves in that area of the country at that time. Perhaps they were better off staying put with the Jeffersons, who's to know. Where would they have gone and what would they done if freed ? You don't know and neither do I, and I would not let this detract from the greatness of Jefferson.

To bad that Wilkie lost the election to FDR.

Jim,Stone Mountain, Lincon was a total hypocrite when it came to slavery. The war of Northern aggression was not about slavery, it was about centralized power in Washington. The Emancipation Proclamation freed only the slaves in states that opposed Lincon. For more details, read "Lincoln Unmasked", Amazon has it.

With political correctness running amok in our country, we are dangerously close to "face crimes" now.

Speaking of logic, is it logical that a government which can't manage the "clunker" program, should be allowed to completely manage the nations sick care ? I doubt it. As Nancy Reagan once said, just say no.

Can't improve on what Mike said.

I'll go along with Mike.

And amen to Cal, lewisville.

When the Catholic church protected pedophile priests I lost any respect that I ever had for it.

Anon said it well and the current crowd in Washington led by Obama, Pelosi, Frank, Waxman, Reed, etc, are leading the way. They must be defeated now or we are in a heap of trouble. They can't even manage the "Clunker" program, much less health care.

J Carlton, right on, especially about debriefing them every day. Most public school teachers are liberals and they get constant liberal garbage in the mail from their union and the Department of Education.

Not to worry, you don't need to think in our public schools. Just keep quiet and obey the teacher and never,ever disagree with anything the teacher says and you'll be fine.

Good grief Waffler. Were you drunk when you wrote that nonsense? You must have attended a government school judging from your sentence structure, spelling etc.

When I was little, many moons ago, we played cowboys and Indians. That was before the idiocy of political correctness infested our land. Now I suppose it's cowboys and native americans.

" I have a Liberal Arts degree, would you like fries with that" ?

The gang in there now can start writing those books.

Kudos to J Carlton and cal, a fellow Texan. Even Waffler and Anonymous can 't deny this mans credentials. Mr Gatto is right.

Waff, we are studying the bad. They are the ones running things now, or should I say ruining things now.

I'm struggling to find any virtue in the Obama, Pelosi, Waxman, and Frank gang. Jesse James and his bunch were far less dangerous to the Country than the gang mentioned above.

Communism is the great leveler. It levels 97% of the people into poverty and misery while the 3% in control live in luxury. Waffler, what on earth does a preacher in Oklahoma have to do with Communism? As to Ft Bragg and Logic, talk to someone who has lived under Castros rule and see how much they love Communism.

Poor old Jefferson. How disappointed he would be if he knew Waffler disagreed with him.

For proof of monarchy, check out Nancy(the horrible) Pelosi and her airplane.

For all practical purposes, our newspapers are now run by the government.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
