Reply #47: Well...I consider Jefferson's own words... [View All]

[Q]

...before I would yours. You seem to be avoiding the facts about Jefferson being the first 'Democratic' president and his writings that reflect what used to be the essence of the party before the 'new' Democrats.

- May I suggest that you visit the 'Avalon project' at Yale? Look at Jefferson's own writings instead of the gibberish you use to define him. He believed in public schooling, majority rule, free press and the separation of powers.

- And why is it that you still haven't addressed the topic of this thread? Does the topic of war bother you?

- Before I came to DU several years ago...I frequented another 'political board' where posters who post to a thread for the singular purpose of disruption and distracting from the main topic. They threw around insults and insinuations...but never had the guts to debate on the merits.

- If I may be so bold...you and your 'partner' on this thread represent everything that's wrong with the Democratic party. The 'my party right or wrong' mindset and the 'go along to get along' attitude has made the party ineffective and irrelevant.

- But no problem...I've grown used these types of deflections from conservatives...on the left and right.
