 Exactly..hello? 

Just as a note not to be considered a request for any particular change..

""A century ago, American progressives said they aspired to use Hamiltonian means to achieve Jeffersonian ends. They meant they would wield a strong federal government to promote equality.""This is known as socialism.

I'm a patriotic citizen, myself. I don't care much for left or right wing regimes. (The dictators, F.D.R. or George Dubya Bush)

If Jefferson or Tom Paine could see the insanity that goes on their names, by both the left and right wings of this country, they would be rolling in their graves. I read Thomas Jefferson's own writings and I read the writings of Thomas Paine. Can any of you say this?
