Nonsense. Liberals today believe in the opposite of what Jefferson stood for. It's dishonest to try to portray him as a modern day liberal, especially since freedom from big mother government is what the revolution was all about.Moreover, Jefferson and Madison were themselves Liberals. They would not have been angling for "freedom from" what they had just got done creating with the Constitution.
Yes, and it's also nonsense for today's conservatives to claim he would believe what a lot of their beliefs are, too. the terms don't mean the same today as the did then in either case.
What??so you think Jefferson didn't believe in freedom from government even though he in Madison founded the Republican Party to stand for exactly and precisely that belief?????

It was originally called the Republican Party but should not be confused with the GOP of today. Jefferson would spit on those like you!
