What would Thomas Jefferson make of Dubya?

I wonder?

Suggestions.

He'd kill him probably. Somebody who destroys the things he fought for is not going to be somebody he likes.

Quite simply he would be horrified

He would most likely be happy that Bush is fighting for another countries freedom like he(jefferson) did for the U.S.

Jefforson faught for his own freedom. And the freedoms of US citizens, which are being destroyed by the Patriot Act

If by destroying freedom you mean makeing us all a lot safer then I agree. I could careless about the patriot act. I'm not a criminal, the govt can bug my whole house if they want.

He's dead, who cares?

Ha...has nothing to do with the thread but KidRock's post reminded me of that:

Cleveland: I must say, I do feel a strange satisfation watchin' the black ball topple all those self-righteous white pins.
Joe: Can't blame 'em for being self-righteous, the black ball's in their neighborhood uninvited.
Cleveland: The black ball's done nothing wrong.
Joe: If the black ball's innocent it has nothing to fear.

Yeah Jefferson,Washington,and Adams and the other presidents that early on faught for our freedoms would be horrified to see what Dubya and presidents of recent years have done to this country and how the patriot act has been destroyed by them. 😠

Jefferson would be happy to sleep in his own grave than to listen to what the politicians have say of today.

He would be ashamed and disgusted and would come up with a cool one liner.

He prolly say something like this "Nah, I don't want to talk to ya. I'd rather talk to Clinton. After all I cheated on my wife and slept with my slaves".

Do you have any proof that the Patriot Act is making us safer?

Have we had any terrorist attacks within the US?

And have there been any cases with the rights of US citizens being messed with?

bush would find jefferson and the rest of our forefathers to be freedom hating anti-americans. and vice versa. only one would be correct.

Its difficult (probably impossible) to guess what Jefferson would think about
anything because the world is so different now.

Two things: He didn't really fight anyone and the thing with the slave girl happened after his wife died.

Also, the Patriot Act is a travesty that could easily be misused against anyone.
Saying you've done nothing wrong is naive. Didn't people say we can't let
the terrorists change the way we live?

Haven't they actually done exactly that?
