I've not read that quote in Jefferson's writings. Could be there. Perhaps not.
I do suspect Jefferson sized up folks better than most.
Give me Liberty or give me death was a bold defiant statement. Unfortunately, not many have those same convictions.Doubt the "Declaration of Indepence" was a very popular truth when it was written.
Liberty is not popular.
Indeed.Give me Liberty or give me death was a bold defiant statement. Unfortunately, not many have those same convictions.

He is from Ohio... but if you can get past that.
I have also observed that the very definition of liberty, that virtually all members of INGO would agree on has a different definition for younger generations.Give me Liberty or give me death was a bold defiant statement. Unfortunately, not many have those same convictions.
Give me free stuff or I will cry and protest until you do.I have also observed that the very definition of liberty, that virtually all members of INGO would agree on has a different definition for younger generations.
Liberty today seems to be defined as free stuff…

End the bureaucratic bloat (kill the administrative state)... sounds like end the BATFE, etc to me.Haven't found anything solid on the 2A yet, but shutting down the FBI is quite encouraging to hear...
Same problem as Trump or even DeSantis, president can't do much without lots of help in congress sympathetic to his visionEnd the bureaucratic bloat (kill the administrative state)... sounds like end the BATFE, etc to me.
Agreed, but the Pres. can push the discussion dramatically. I wondered why Trump didn't use the platform to push the congress more; for example, he said he'd drain the swamp and make congress put limits on whne they can become lobbyists after leaving congress. Obviously he couldn't write bills, but why not take the time to drive the point home prior to the midterms and put pressure on campaigns to include a (possibly empty) promise of introducing such legislation?Same problem as Trump or even DeSantis, president can't do much without lots of help in congress sympathetic to his vision
Promise them anything, deliver the same old ****
I dunno, maybe fighting personal lawsuits and impeachments is the drain on the ability of an individual to function as efficiently as they might if not involved in such fights?I wondered why Trump didn't use the platform to push the congress more; for example, he said he'd drain the swamp and make congress put limits on whne they can become lobbyists after leaving congress.

Does this presuppose that the feds actually want to?The federal government can't even get a handle on their own legal immigration processes,
I think your full comment was fair with two caveats, one Ingomike addressed in post 196. There second is the above. I'm convinced the fed writ large is fully capable of adhering and enforcing written immigration laws. The fed simply chooses to ignore their own laws. The fed doesn't just allow illegal immigration they encourage it, subsidize it and directly engage in illegal activities related to illegal immigration. The fed literally supply resources via money, housing, transportation, etc. to persons who are, by federal legal definitions, criminals. It's disgraceful and treasonous. Anyway, just my rant not directed at you personally. It's directed at the federal United States government that works directly against legal American citizens for the benefit of illegal immigrants. And they do it intentionally.The federal government can't even get a handle on their own legal immigration processes,
Seems like he's always either being sued or suing someone. That's why he has all those lawyers.I dunno, maybe fighting personal lawsuits and impeachments is the drain on the ability of an individual to function as efficiently as they might if not involved in such fights?
A quick search reveals that he has always been a lightning rod for lawsuits for sure. A look at all the suits by and against him, his companies, and family seem to indicate to me that after the 2016 election there was a strategy on the left to handcuff him and his administration with lawsuits…Seems like he's always either being sued or suing someone. That's why he has all those lawyers.
