Gosh darn it Gunny! You spelled "cried" wrong. Just thought I'd point that out for ya!GunnyL said:Broaden your horizons. Jefferson deserves no special reverence, and you are taking one statement made by him out of context and trying to run with it. Compare his so-called intellectual writings with his actions as President, or even his personal behavior.
The point that is trying to be made is that dissent for the sake of dissent is not patriotic, nor even worthy. It's pointless, and you can apply "the boy who cride wolf" analogy here. If you bitch about every little thing, then when something truly important comes along, no one's listening to you anymore as you have long since rendered yourself to the squawkbox trashheap.
