Twitshit de la Dweeb went down to Monticello for the Fourth. He made on of those unfortunate things that people call speeches. The usual inarticulate and whiny stuff, I'm sure with the gamut of facial expressions and idiocy. And then he read a quote from Jefferson, obviously found and bowdlerized by his speakifiying minions...This is what Jefferson wrote:
May it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government. (AXE Emphasis)
Guess which part his monkeys with the typewriters decided to leave out? I mean, of course, his semi-intelligently designed speechifying typist type guys...
I think that Bush would make Jefferson think fondly of Adams, and Cheney would make him fall madly in love with Aaron Burr. Is Bush himself capable of constructing a sentence in such a Ciceronian fashion? No. Devolution lives anew...Of course, Jefferson was drawing inspiration from Locke, Hume and the Enlightenment, and inspired at times by people like Thomas Paine. Bush, I suspect, is getting his faked inspiration from B- students from Regis University who didn't have the grades to get into their law or divinity schools...with an assist from whomever Cheney wants him to think like. Grover Norquist. Milton Friedman. Ayn Rand...
