Lemon Picker

2010-11-02T16:19:00.000-07:00

The woman applying

for a job in a Florida

lemon grove seemed to be

far too qualified for the job.

The foreman frowned and said,

"I have to ask you this:

"Have you had any actual

experience in picking lemons?

"Well, as a matter of fact, I have!"

"I've been divorced three times,

owned 2 Hyundai's, and I

voted for Obama."

Bow to the King!

Who's the worst President?

2010-04-12T10:55:00.000-07:00

My dad said, 'It’s hard to believe that in 15 months,

Obummer has replaced this man as the worst ever.
We’ve got another almost three years of sliding ahead of us.'

Here's one to make you laugh...

2010-04-01T16:14:00.000-07:00

Late night is finally leaving George W. Bush alone! :0)

2010-03-29T11:32:00.001-07:00

Even simple robots get it!

2010-03-29T11:19:00.000-07:00

Guy goes into a bar, there's a robot bartender.

The robot says, "What will you have?"

The guy says, "Martini."
The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man,
"What's your IQ?"
The guy says, "168."
The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology.
The guy leaves, but he is curious...

So he goes back into the bar.
The robot bartender says, "What will you have?"
The guy says, "Martini."
Again, the robot makes a great martini gives it to the man and says,
"What's your IQ?"
The guy says, "100."
The robot then starts to talk about Nascar, Budweiser and John Deere tractors.
The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time.
He goes back into the bar.
The robot says, "What will you have?"
The guy says, "Martini," and the robot brings him another great martini.
The robot then says, "What's your IQ?"
The guy says, "Uh, about 50."
The robot leans in real close and says,
"So, you people still happy you voted for Obama?"

Bad day?

2010-03-25T15:56:00.000-07:00

Did you say you were having a bad day?
Here....these will make you feel better!

101%

2010-02-08T14:44:00.000-08:00

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%?

What does it mean to give MORE
than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people
who say they are giving more
than 100%?

We have all been in situations
where someone wants you to

GIVE OVER 100%...
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical

formula that might help
answer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N

O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of

God will take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge

will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God

that will put you over the top!

Maxine....you silly old bag!

A few funnies, but the last
one is my dad's favorite! :0)

Check their homework!!!

2010-02-03T10:23:00.001-08:00

This is a note a teacher received. :0)

"Dear Mrs. Jones,

I wish to clarify that I am not now,
nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer.

I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter
how hectic it was last week before the blizzard
hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel
we had, and then I found one more in the back
room, and that several people were fighting
over who would get it.

Her picture doesn't show me dancing around
a pole. It's supposed to depict me selling the last
snow shovel we had at Home Depot.

From now on I will remember to check her homework
more thoroughly before she turns it in.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Smith

TO Be 6 Again...

A man was sitting on the
edge of the bed, watching
his wife, who was looking
at herself in the mirror.
Since her birthday was
not far off he asked what
she'd like to have for her birthday.

'I'd like to be six again',
she replied, still looking
in the mirror .

On the morning of her
Birthday, he arose early,
made her a nice big bowl
of Lucky Charms, and
then took her to Six Flags
theme park. What a day!
He put her on every ride in
the park; the Death Slide,
the Wall of Fear, the Screaming
Roller Coaster, everything there was.

Five hours later they staggered
out of the theme park. Her head
was reeling and her stomach
felt upside down. He then took
her to a McDonald's where he
ordered her a Happy Meal with
extra fries and a chocolate shake.

Then it was off to a movie,
popcorn, a soda pop, and her
favorite candy, M&M's. What
a fabulous adventure!

Finally she wobbled home with
her husband and collapsed
into bed exhausted.

He leaned over his wife with
a big smile and lovingly
asked, 'Well Dear, what was
it like being six again?'

Her eyes slowly opened and
her expression suddenly
changed. 'I meant my dress
size, you retard!!!!'

The moral of the story:
Even when a man is listening,
he is gonna get it wrong.

Short, but sweet!

Oh, Teddy. You are so wise!

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants
and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
'In the first place, we should insist
that if the immigrant who comes here
in good faith becomes an American and
assimilates himself to us, he shall
be treated on an exact equality with
everyone else, for it is an outrage to
discriminate against any such man
because of creed, or birthplace, or
origin. But this is predicated upon the
person's becoming in every facet an
American, and nothing but an American...
There can be no divided allegiance here.
Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American
at all. We have room for but one flag, the
American flag... We have room for but one
language here, and that is the English
language.. And we have room for but one
sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to
the American people.'
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Puppy Power

The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door.

Dear Dogs and Cats: The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort, however. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It Is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.

For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine/feline attendance is not required.

The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.
One more thing, staring at me while I eat to try to direct my mind to give you my food will not work (usually). I am too old and too tired. Go stare at the kids. They are younger and more susceptible to mind control. If you don't believe me, notice how they all dress alike so they can be individuals.

Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following message on the front door:

TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:

(1) They live here. You don't.
(2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'-niture.
(3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
(4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly.

Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
(1) eat less,
(2) don't ask for money all the time,
(3) are easier to train,
(4) normally come when called,
(5) never ask to drive the car,
(6) don't hang out with drug-using people;
(7) don't smoke or drink,
(8) don't want to wear your clothes,
(9) don't have to buy the latest fashions,
(10) don't need a gazillion dollars for college and
(11) if they get pregnant, you can sell their children

Hungry for Ice Cream?

2010-01-11T08:37:00.001-08:00

In honor of the 44th President of the United States, Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor: "Barocky Road".

Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate and surrounded by nuts and flakes. The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.

The cost is $100.00 per scoop.

When purchased, it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the ice cream topping is taken away and given to the person in line behind you.

You are left with an empty wallet and no change, holding an empty cone with no hope of getting any ice cream.

Are you stimulated?

Merry Christmas, Dad!

This year, for Christmas, I have been
putting together a scrapbook for my dad
of his Navy Days! I have enjoyed it too
much! What a cutie he was!!!
We'll just ignore the two naked bum
shots I found of him...too much for me! :0)

I love this picture, even
if my mom isn't looking.
I love the clothes, the styles, and more
importantly, the people in the picture!
My family tree!

This is a photo my mom sent my dad.
She is wearing his sailor hat and the
photo is well worn. You can tell that
this photo got him through many hard
days and nights in Vietnam.
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

12 Days of Christmas

2009-12-09T12:51:00.000-08:00

From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were

not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone

during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics.

It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning

plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each

element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality

which the children could remember.

-The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ.

-Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.

-Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love.

-The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.

-The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.

-The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.

-Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.

-The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.

-Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.

-The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments.

-The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples.

-The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed.

A Different Christmas Poem

2009-12-01T14:33:00.000-08:00

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight..

Sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear..
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.

Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.

"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..

To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night."
"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.

No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gramps died at 'Pearl on a day in December,"
Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers.."
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of 'Nam',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.

I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... an American flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.

I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall.."

" So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done,
For being away from your wife and your son."

Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us."

Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our
U.S service men and women for our being able to celebrate these
festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people
stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us.

Cherokee Legend

2009-11-20T08:42:00.001-08:00

My dad sent this one with this note:

Having been told by my paternal grandmother that I was part Cherokee (unverified), I was drawn to this by the title. But the story is universal.

God bless us all!

Cherokee Legend
Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage?

His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone.

Once he survives the night, he is a MAN.

He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own.

The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him . Maybe even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man!
Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold.

It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.
He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm.

We, too, are never alone.
Even when we don't know it, God is watching over us, Sitting on the stump beside us.
When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him.

Moral of the story:
Just because you can't see God, Doesn't mean He is not there."For we walk by faith, not by sight."

God puts each fresh morning, each new chance of life, into our hands as a gift to see what we will do with it.

Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in Him! Phil 4:4

Under God's Wings

2009-11-18T15:15:00.000-08:00

A little something to put things in perspective...

An article in National Geographic several years ago
Provided an interesting picture of God's wings.
After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park,
Forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to
Assess the inferno's damage.

One ranger found a bird literally petrified in
Ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the
Base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie
Sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick. When
He gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried
From under their dead mother's wings. The loving
Mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had
Carried her offspring to the base of the tree and
Had gathered them under her wings, instinctively
Knowing that toxic smoke would rise. She could
Have flown to safety but had refused to abandon
Her babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the
Heat had scorched her small body, the mother had
Remained steadfast. Because she had been willing
To die, so those under the cover of her wings
Would live.

"He will cover you with his feathers, and under
His wings you will find refuge." (Psalm 91:4)

Being loved this much should make a difference in
Your life. Remember the One who loves you, and
Then be different because of it!

A 'sign' of the times.

2009-11-17T13:54:00.000-08:00

Sign in an INDIANA Store Front window..

"WE WOULD RATHER DO BUSINESS WITH 1000

AL QAEDA TERRORISTS
THAN WITH ONE SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER!"

This sign was prominently displayed in the window of a business in Whiting, Indiana.

You are probably outraged at the thought of such an inflammatory statement..

However, we are a society which holds freedom of speech as perhaps our greatest liberty.

And after all, it is just a sign.

You may ask what kind of business would dare post such

a sign.

My brother-in-law
forwarded this
one out. I love the brilliant idea of the
homeowner on the right!

Does this include you?

2009-11-06T09:22:00.000-08:00

Yesterday the House voted 403-12 to extend and expand the tax credit to include many buyers who already own homes. The Senate approved the measure Wednesday, and the White House said President Barack Obama would sign it today. "Buyers who have owned their current homes at least five years would be eligible for tax credits of up to $6,500. First-time homebuyers - or anyone who hasn't owned a home in the last three years - would still get up to $8,000. To qualify, buyers in both groups have to sign a purchase agreement by April 30, 2010, and close by June 30. The credit is available for the purchase of principal homes costing $800,000 or less, meaning vacation homes are ineligible. The credit would be phased out for individuals with annual incomes above $125,000 and for joint filers with incomes above $225,000."

I wanted to share with you the links to the pages that apply to the first-time home buyer tax credit and the "enhanced" version with the $6500 tax credit option.

2009-11-06T07:26:00.000-08:00

John Stossel is now with Fox News Channel or Fox Business Channel. He was 'let go' from ABC after he did this program.

Remember back: Geraldo Rivera was also with ABC on 20-20. He wanted to do an expose' of Ted Kennedy. ABC refused. He left. He too, is now with Fox News.

Illegal Aliens?

Fresh from our President…”I told you

illegals wouldn’t get health coverage

paid for by the tax payers.”

Where is Joe Wilson now?

How on earth did this happen???

2009-11-02T09:09:00.000-08:00

Dad sent this one and said,

"Some of these are shocking,

but the last one is unexplainable!"

Let's giggle!

Now that's what I call
truth in advertising!!!

Someone having a blond
moment...glad it wasn't me!

Clock works!

2009-10-28T11:16:00.001-07:00

I have to give credit where credit
is due! I bought my dad the clock
in his banner from IMOTIME
on Etsy. Awesome, right!!!

Another great comic!

KFC & the right wing!

2009-10-26T16:57:00.000-07:00

With my dad being the ultimate Republican, I couldn't help but get him this shirt while in Louisville at the KFC Headquarters. His son-in-law happens to own a few KFCs, so these photos are perfect for this political family! :0)

Yep, this one is recent and to the point!

Whereas this one is a little outdated,
but still pretty darn hilarious
if you ask me!!!

If Obama gets his way with this National Health Care, our little KFC's will be run into the ground. Little shops having to pay health care for all of their employees adds about $50,000 a year to the cost of one store. Not my idea of the American Dream!

Michelle Obama

My dad's words:

"Masked in their titles, are reference to the office of the President, but the second half of the title is what they actually do.

SNOPE says that this is untrue, but they refer to the first part of the title only.

CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!"

Here's the e-mail:

Perhaps the most frightening thing about this article is that it was printed in the Canada Free Press. Have you seen anything about this in the American press? I haven’t and I know that if this was a Republican it would be headline news. We are losing our freedom very quickly and we had better speak out now before it is too late.

From the Canada Free Press:
First Lady Requires More Than Twenty Attendants
by Dr. Paul L. Williams
July 7, 2009

"In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much,"
she said. "See, that's why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service, "... Michelle Obama

No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn't perform any official duties. But this hasn't deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession. Just think, Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary from her husband's salary..

Total Personal Staff members for other first ladies paid by taxpayers:
Mamie Eisenhower : 1 paid for personally out of President's salary
Jackie Kennedy: 1
Roseline Carter: 1
Barbara Bush: 1
Hilary Clinton: 3
Laura Bush: 1
Michele Obama: 22

How things have changed! If you're one of the tens of millions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers, prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Ms Michelle are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by YOU, John Q. Public:

Michele Obama's personal staff:
1. $172,200 - Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)
2. $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady)
3. $113,000 - Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary for Mrs. Obama)
4. $102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President and Director of Communications for the First Lady)
5. $100,000 - Winter, Melissa E. (Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
6. $90,000 - Medina , David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
7. $84,000 - Lelyveld, Catherine M. (Director and Press Secretary to the First Lady)
8. $75,000 - Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady)
9. $70,000 - Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Projects for the First Lady)
10. $65,000 - Burnough, Erinn J. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
11. $64,000 - Reinstein, Joseph B. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
12. $62,000 - Goodman, Jennifer R. (Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events Coordinator For The First Lady)
13. $60,000 - Fitts, Alan O. (Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director for the First Lady)
14.. $57,500 - Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to the First Lady)
15. $52,500 - Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director and Deputy Press Secretary To The First Lady)
16. $50,000 - Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special Assistant for Scheduling and Traveling Aide To The First Lady)
17. $45,000 - Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of Correspondence For The First Lady)
18. $43,000 - Tubman, Samanth A. (Deputy Associate Director, Social Office)
19. $40,000 - Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
20. $36,000 - Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social Secretary)
21. $35,000 - Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant)
22. $35,000 - Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady)

(total = $1,591,200 in annual salaries)

There has NEVER been anyone in the White House at any time who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life.. One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense.

Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and "First Hairstylist" Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air Force One to Europe .

Yes, I know, The Canadian Free Press had to publish this perhaps because America no longer has a free press and the USA media is too scared that they might be considered racist or suffer at the hands of Obama. Sorry America !

Thomas Jefferson said...

A friend forwarded these quotes from Thomas Jefferson to my dad.
They are over 200 years old and concisely state our plight today.

How did he know?

It has been said the greatest volume of sheer brainpower in one place occurred when Jefferson dined alone...

Especially read the last quote from 1802.

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe,
we shall become as corrupt as Europe .
Thomas Jefferson

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those
who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the
government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson

Every citizen should be a soldier.. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state.
Thomas Jefferson

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
Thomas Jefferson

If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?
Thomas Jefferson

Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.
Thomas Jefferson

That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves.
Thomas Jefferson

Never spend your money before you have earned it.
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered..'
