Ali A. Rizvi Pakistani-Canadian writer, physician and musician The ambassador answered us that [their right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise. The above passage is not a reference to a declaration by al Qaeda or some Iranian fatwa. They are the words of Thomas Jefferson, then the U.S. ambassador to France, reporting to Secretary of State John Jay a conversation he'd had with Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, Tripoli's envoy to London, in 1786 -- more than two and a quarter centuries ago. That is before al Qaeda and the Taliban, before the creation of Israel or the Arab-Israeli conflict, before Khomeini, before Saudi Arabia, before drones, before most Americans even knew wh ...

Dear Mr. President: As a former lecturer in constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School, you know that the federal government, including the Office of the President, does not enjoy limitless powers. As President, your powers are limited to those conferred either by the Constitution or federal statutes. Supreme Court Associate Justice Hugo Black elaborated in Reid v. Covert, 354 U.S. 1 (1957): “The United States is entirely a creature of the Constitution. Its power and authority have no other source. It can only act in accordance with all the limitations imposed by the Constitution.” One of your illustrious predecessors, Thomas Jefferson, instructed in the Kentucky Resolution of 1798: “In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.” As regards the Alien Act’s empowering the President to deport any alien he unilaterally decreed was “dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States,” ...

Perhaps the most famous quote from Thomas Jefferson is that oft-repeated one from his first inaugural address, delivered on March 4, 1801: "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations — entangling alliances with none." Let us break down this famous quote by Thomas Jefferson with other quotes spoken by Thomas Jefferson: Peace "I hope France, England and Spain will all see it their interest to let us make bread for them in peace, and to give us a good price for it." "Peace is our most important interest, and a recovery from debt." "Peace with all nations, and the right which that gives us with respect to all nations, are our object." "We ask for peace and justice from all nations." "We love and we value peace; we know its blessings from experience." "The happiness of mankind is best promoted by the useful pursuits of peace." "The state of peace is that which most improves the manners and morals, the prosperity and happiness of mankind." "Our desire is to pursue ourselves the path of peace as t ...

Now that Benghazi appears to be destroying the political career of Hillary Clinton and taking air out of the Clinton dynasty, we are beginning to hear rumblings once again about a third Obama term. Liberals unabashedly throw this prospect out every couple years. They try to get traction on the effort to repeal the Twenty-second Amendment limiting the president to two terms. Democrats pine for the days of FDR and his interminable presidency. If not for a cerebral hemorrhage, Roosevelt would have served an unprecedented fourth term. Republican nominee Thomas Dewey announced support of an amendment in 1944 limiting future presidents to two terms. The Twenty-second Amendment was passed in 1947 and ratified by the states in 1951. George Washington did not seek a third term – he saw term limitation as a bulwark against monarchy – and Thomas Jefferson railed against the prospect of life-long presidents. In 1807 he wrote, “if some termination to the services of the chief Magistrate be not fixed by the Const ...

Thomas Jefferson, Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, and Jose Rizal, were polyglots and polymaths [super geniuses] who revered reason and believed in God. Aristotle, whose ideas & achievements continue to carry the world, & Thomas Aquinas, who ended the Middle Ages & ushered in the Renaissance, were reason-giants who believed in God. Galileo, a glorious man of science who was satan-ed by the church believed in God. Paine believed in God and loathed the bible. John Locke, George Washington, James Madison, Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, & Charles Darwin were deists.

"I am neither bitter nor cynical but I do wish there was less immaturity in political thinking," says Franklin D. Roosevelt. And the accompanying quote is from Thomas Jefferson, who have always argued for the virtues of limited government. The idea is to give government enough powers to govern and no more so that they cannot create mischief. Is this applicable to Malaysia? Look around and then comment.

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

“Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can.” ~ Samuel Adams “Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty.” ~ John Adams “No power on earth has a right to take our property from us without our consent.” ~ John Jay “As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.” ~ James Madison "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 "Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death." ~ James Madis ...

THOMAS JEFFERSON FIRST FOUGHT MUSLIM TERRORISTS By Attorney Jonathan Emord, Author of "The Rise of Tyranny" and, "Global Censorship of Health Information" (DH) In March 1785 Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met with Tripoli’s Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja. They asked the Ambassador why his nation waged war on American shipping. In a response that could have been given by Osama bin Laden, the Ambassador stated: “It was written in the Qur'an that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet [Mohammed] were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave, and that every Muslim who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise . . .” In 1800, the U.S. paid the terrorists’ ransom, amounting to 20% of the U.S. government’s purse for that year. Thomas Jefferson was an outspoken critic of the payments and persuaded George Washington that it would be better to build an American Navy and Marine Corps than to suffer this humiliation. Following his 1801 in ...

The AP test is bound to ask questions regarding political parties, here is a list of the most important parties and their time frame. - 1790-1828 - Federalist Party - Led by Alexander Hamilton the Federalist party was in favor of a Strong Central Government, high taxes, approved of the National bank of the United States, held a loose intrepretation of the consititution, supported Britain in foreign affairs, and business orientated. Some important members of the Federalist party were George Washington, John Adams, Alexander Hamiliton, and John Marshall. The Federalists were popular among eastern seaboard merchants, but unfortunately nowhere else. After the election of Thomas Jefferson the Federalist party died into obscurity. - Democratic Republicans (Also known as the Anti-federalists or Jeffersonian Democrats) - Led by Thomas Jefferson the Democratic Republican party was in favor of states' rights, strict interpretation of the constitution, supported the French in foreign affairs, disapproved the nati ...

THE TANTRUM ! THE TANTRUM ! PICTURE WORTH TEN THOUSAND WORD ! My, My, what have we here? The tantrum!! Picture worth ten thousand words - "The little boy" did not get his way - this wasn't in the news, but it sure can be visualized. "Poor baby" did not get his way and had a "tantrum." Bet you won't see this on network TV: Obama leaving a meeting with Congressional leaders after Cantor told the president "Republicans would not vote for his proposed tax hikes." *** displays his true class and respect for the office." Just goes to show once again, that there is no fix,or excuse, for stupidity and ingrained ignorance.Obama picked up his toys and stormed out of the meeting, kicking the door open! There, my friends is the leader of our country. aren't you proud? "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." Thomas Jefferson

Over two hundred years ago, Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet that would light the fire that forged our nation. He called it “Common Sense.” Passed from hand to hand, patriot to patriot, it was a call to action for those Americans who believed their government had to change. It spelled out the values of a new republic. And King George III—who had forgotten his own people in favor of special interests—was replaced by a government of, by and for the people. America was born. Like those early patriots, we face a growing threat to our liberty and justice in America today. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison spoke of the fear that economic power would one day seize political power. That fear is now being realized—under the Bush administration, pharmaceutical companies draft our Medicare laws. Oil executives sit in the Vice President’s office and write energy bills. A majority of the reconstruction contracts in Iraq goes to corporations headed by campaign contributors to the president.

Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802: The original text reads: ..."... I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State." Jefferson reflected his frequent speaking theme that the government is not to interfere with religion.

On the eve of the Iraq invasion, while in concert in London for the 2003 Top of the World Tour, Natalie Maines commented that the Dixie Chicks were "...ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas." Negative public reaction in the United States to this comment resulted in boycotts by country music radio stations and death threats. For me she is and always will be a hero. While most Americans were ignorant to the truth, this woman used her platform to protest a war that was based on a lie. In the face of blind patrisom she stuck her neck out for our country. Thomas Jefferson said it well, "the greatest form of patriotism is dissent!" Please show Natalie how much we appreciate her sacrifice on our nations behalf and buy her new album, "Mother" :) ~jh.

"At no time in history has the United States had such a high percentage of theocratic members of Congress—those who expressly endorse religious bias in law. Just as ominously, especially for those who share the values and views of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, at no other time have religious fundamentalists effectively had veto power over one of the country's two major political parties. As Sean Faircloth argues in this deeply sobering yet highly engaging book, this has led to the crumbling of the country's most cherished founding principle—the wall of separation between church and state. While much of the public debate in the United States over church-state issues has focused on the construction of nativity scenes in town squares and the addition of "under God" to the Pledge, Faircloth, a former politician and current Director of Strategy & Policy for the U.S. branch of the Richard Dawkins Foundation, moves beyond the symbolism to explore the many ways federal and state legal codes privilege re ...

"We are the law-abiding, God-fearing members of the NRA. We are Americans and we will be clear. We will stand. We'll march if we have to. We'll stand because we must. But we will not be moved. Our right to keep and bear arms will not be infringed. We will follow the footsteps of Jesus Christ, we will follow the footsteps of Frederick Douglas, Winston Churchill, Thomas Paine, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, [David] Ben-Gurion, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Gandhi, Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King. Hear me now. Hear me now. We shall overcome." - Glenn Beck at the 2013 National Rifle Association Convention

All I can say, is I trust Thomas Jefferson, not Barrack Obama!

. For some time now, a remark by Thomas Jefferson in an unlegislated and extrajudicial private letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802 containing the phrase "separation of Church and State" has been used as a battering ram by the Left in an attempt to remove all traces of religion, and lately any vestige of belief in an objective morality, from the American scene. I coldn't have said it any better.That is why I've posted this . Charlie

Newspapers always have been a backbone of our democracy. Thomas Jefferson once said that he’d prefer newspapers without government to a government without newspapers.

I like dreams of the future rather than the history of the past. – Thomas Jefferson -

Maybe one day, all Malaysians can achieve this same dream. Why We Honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Each year a fundamental question arises. Young people especially want to know, "Why do we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.? The following is a brief analysis which can be duplicated and shared with schools, churches, organizations and the media. Early in our country's history, almost all black people came here as slaves. Because people in the South felt they needed cheap labor in building the land and because black people in Africa knew how to farm land like that in the South, they were taken from their homes and forced to come to America. Upon arriving in this country, they were sold to whites as slaves without rights or freedoms. In 1776, the American Colonies declared their freedom from Great Britain. In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote that "all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and t ...

GOD DOES NOT NEED THE APPROVAL OR ENDORSEMENT OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, BUT THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS ALL THE HELP IT CAN GET. Thomas Jefferson said, Religion is a subject on which I have ever been most scrupulously reserved. I have considered it as a matter between every man and his Maker in which no other, and far less the public, had a right to intermeddle. Letter to Richard Rush (1813) and the First Amendment so conveys this to us. However, I believe it state that congress shall not make a law promoting any religion, meaning one over another. Expression of thought or sentiment within the government regarding religion cannot be regulated in the same manner. Each issue raised here represents Congressional Action at a particular time in our history, and the thinking of those times. We used them as part of tradition and asways of honoring those on whose shoulders we stand. Legislating separation of Religion (and I include atheists, Scientology, Wicca) and of Politics within the mind of individual is not possi .. ...

Monticello: Sat. 4 -27- 2013 "And our own dear Monticello, where has nature spread so rich a mantle under the eye? mountains, forests, rocks, rivers. With what majesty do we there ride above the storms! How sublime to look down into the workhouse of nature, to see her clouds, hail, snow, rain, thunder, all fabricated at our feet! And the glorious Sun, when rising as if out of a distant water, just gliding the tops of the mountains, and giving life to all nature!" - Thomas Jefferson to Maria Cosway 1786 October 12. While I was at Monticello I saw the three paintings of Locke, Newton and Bacon which are in this pictures story. I asked the guide if the paintings were original and from Jefferson's collection. He was not sure of the Newton or the Bacon painting but he said he was 100 percent sure that the Locke painting was original. So there I stood in the same room and in the same house where Jefferson, Adams and hamilton had dinner and looked upon these very same paintings and Hamilton who did not have a c ...

WHO REALLY OWNS THE FEDERAL RESERVE? Thomas Jefferson, declared, "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."  Did Jefferson have a crystal ball when he spoke these words? Has a private bank taken control over our nation's money supply?  The following is a conversation with Mr. Ron Supinski of the Public Information Department of the San Francisco, Federal Reserve Bank. This is an account of that conversation reconstructed to the best of my ability from notes taken during the conversation on October 8, 1992.

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." -- Thomas Jefferson

This all seems true to me. But what to do about it? The men of western Pennsylvania were armed and George Washington's forces still crushed the Whiskey Rebellion, so-called. And all they did was stop paying taxes, nothing violent. —Thomas Jefferson wrote concerning the Revolutionary War: "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion." It happened once, and regardless of the right and wrong of each side it didn't turn out too well for the losers. *headdesk*

Maurice Chandler Dr Joy Degruy cites 'cognitive dissonance' behind attitudes toward race: Dr Joy Degruy may be best known as the author of “Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome – America’s Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing,” but she also is a corporate trainer called in when institutions have discrimination issues. Read more here: talked about the “cognitive dissonance” America has used to reconcile its ideals of equality and justice with its treatment of ethnic minorities such as African-Americans and American Indians, and the lingering effects. In the beginning America justified slavery by categorizing blacks as less than human, Thomas Jefferson describing them as “dumb, cowardly and incapable of feeling grief,” the latter contention rationalizing treating them like livestock. The Rev. John Newton, who penned the hymn “Amazing Grace,” described slaves as “lesser creatures without human souls.” That attitude persisted beyond slavery’s end, with the Bronx Zoo in 1906 keeping in a mo ...
