"The true foundation of republican government is the equal right of every citizen in his person and property and in their management."

When a scant 53% of the American people, and only 37% of young people believe capitalism to be superior to socialism we have a situation which compels more than a note, more than attention, and more than arguing left wing fools away from the idea that more votes means objective correctness.

"Persons and property make the sum of the objects of government." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1789

If 60% of the people believed the sky green voting it so would not SHOW US who cling the outmoded idea it is blue.

"A right to property is founded in our natural wants, in the means with which we are endowed to satisfy these wants, and the right to what we acquire by those means without violating the similar rights of other sensible beings." --Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours, 1816.

Can we win Huntington's war of the civilizations which is being made on us if we are like a Europe which has become so inured to it's own existence that more people are dieing than being born, and the imported 'underclass', never assimilable in the Europe our antecedents ran from, exerts itself, and HERE, those present ILLEGALLY from south of the border continues to grow?

Europe today as a whole doesn't care and doesn't want to be bothered.

Afghanistan? NATO? 'Hey, we're busy'. But thanks for the apology.

"[We in America entertain] a due sense of our equal right to... the acquisitions of our own industry." --Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801.

Meanwhile, the people who warn of danger are seen as the danger by those in power as attacks against RADIO PERSONALITIES IN AMERICA are literally plotted by White House advisers who should have nothing else on their mind but helping businesses CREATE more wealth for all, and figuring out how to crush the sons of bitches in Waziristan, Swat and Afghanistan, and EQUALLY the apocalyptic freaks from Qom, the Hojatieh of Iran.

I don't think we can beat the aggressors overt and stealthy when our own leadership is elected to tell us the founding brothers had no clue as greedy slave owning white men whose only concern was the maintenance of their property from the crown? Don't think that's the issue?...wait until the ideas that using Jefferson, Madison, et al to beat back Obama and his incredible crowd of money pushers percolate up to people who want to be president on the republican side.

"He who is permitted by law to have no property of his own can with difficulty conceive that property is founded in anything but force." --Thomas Jefferson to Edward Bancroft, 1788

Just confront Geithner, Gibbs, Clinton, Biden and that level of the team with Jefferson on property/freedom and watch what happens next.

"Our wish... is that... equality of rights [be] maintained, and that state of property, equal or unequal, which results to every man from his own industry or that of his fathers." --Thomas Jefferson: 2nd Inaugural Address, 1805.

Confront? Right now, who besides Newt Gingrich even understands American history well enough to do that on the right?

"The political institutions of America, its various soils and climates, opened a certain resource to the unfortunate and to the enterprising of every country and insured to them the acquisition and free possession of property." --Thomas Jefferson: Declaration on Taking Up Arms, 1775

I see a lot of sqawking but who is arguing Madison against Obama?

"as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights." Madison

The names of the founders don't even have to be used, just their words, and after that nature will take it's course.

"It is the undoubted right and unalienable privilege of a [citizen] not to be divested or interrupted in the innocent use of . . . property. . . . This is the Cornerstone of every free Constitution" John Jay

The left is only interested in crushing the right in america. They think this signifies. They think we'll lump it. They think the inventors, builders, producers, risk takers will just go on because they can create mandatory laws making it so by taxes to 'spread the wealth around.'

"All men are born free and equal, and have certain natural, essential, and unalienable rights, among which may be reckoned the right of . . . acquiring, possessing, and protecting property" John Adams

Human nature and history tell us otherwise. You cannot mandate productivity. You cannot demand invention by law. You cannot tell people that what they might think up is at the beck and call of people who vote that those thought belong to others. You cannot make people love what they do as work. And you cannot make that better with 8 weeks of vaccation, or a better health plan.

"No right [should] be stipulated for aliens to hold real property within these States, this being utterly inadmissible by their several laws and policy." --Thomas Jefferson: Commercial Treaties Instructions, 1784.

It's going to take the founders to pound some sense back into an America leaning towards socialism, and it's going to be done, IF IT CAN BE DONE, over the objections of the entire education establishment in the nation, nearly the entire MEDIA establishment of the nation, and a current corporate culture which is irresponsible, greedy and seemingly unsteered.

"To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father's has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association--'the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.'" --Thomas Jefferson 1816

There will be those who cherry pick quotes to show the Founders had other ideas, but you will find them in publications, and from those whose entire function is to debunk the ideas and actions of those very men whose volume of quotes, and lives of actions argue otherwise,...... why - as greedy cynical old white guys with slaves to whom the individualism and ingenuity of ALL MEN, including American men and women is a myth.

"[If government have] a right of demanding ad libitum and of taxing us themselves to the full amount of their demand if we do not comply with it, [this would leave] us without anything we can call property." --Thomas Jefferson: Reply to Lord North, 1775.
