Now how to make below into constitution:

"No Representation Without Taxation"

"Voter Fraud Is Treason"

I dont necessarily think he was ahead of his time. I think this is just a battle that his been fought for hundreds (thousands?) of years.

Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.

...this one always hits my emotions hard. We've let too many freedoms slip.

"When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty."

This one got me. Shit, I don't want to rebel. I have a comfortable life and a family. Professional goals, hopes and dreams like everyone else.

But if I stand by and let tyranny reign while I have the capacity to fight it, will my children enjoy the same comforts we do?

I'm sure the founding fathers didn't want to have to rebel either. But they did.

It's our duty now.

I been thinking on those lines too, finally got something, close to retirement but how can we live with ourselves if we don’t stand up. We are all going to die someday and we will have to face all those who went before us, who never had what we had, paid the full price for what we enjoyed. Freedom is not free

Sorry, but immigration to a developing nation (the US in this case) from England is not the same as third worl immigration to the US today. Fuck off

So true that this has all happened before. I remember reading about many similar political and societal troubles back in Roman times. Also recall reading on .win about Lincoln dealing with large scale vote fraud.

Now you can vote by scrawling the name of the democrat candidate onto a greasy Arby’s wrapper and dropping it off at your local polling station.

The 4 for 5 deal was a solid Dem play for years.

It's in there already. The Constitution says it guarantees to each State a republican form of government. That means it guarantees both those things that you mention.

He was very much a man of his time. He is a product of the enlightenment age. Men who suffered the real consequences of tyranny and developed practical political solutions to safeguard us from it. If we lose this wisdom, our grandchildren will relearn it the hard way.

Our grandchildren won't learn anything but how to be serfs if we fail to do what's necessary.

Other great quotes show that Thomas Jefferson was very pro-White and would be outraged at the anti-White racism we see today.

First, Jefferson openly praised the physical traits of Whites. He wrote of their “flowing hair” and their “more elegant symmetry of form,” but emphasized the importance of color itself:

Are not the fine mixtures of red and white, the expressions of every passion by greater or less suffusions of colour in the one [whites], preferable to that eternal monotony, which reigns in the countenances, that immovable veil of black, which covers all the emotions of the other race?

TJ did not think Blacks were equal to Whites, noting that “in general, their existence appears to participate more of sensation than reflection.” He hoped slavery would be abolished some day, but stipulated that:

“when freed, he [the Negro] is to be removed beyond the reach of mixture.”

Jefferson also expected whites eventually to displace all of the Indians of the New World. The United States, he wrote, was to be

“the nest from which all America, North and South, is to be peopled,”

and the hemisphere was to be entirely European:

“...nor can we contemplate with satisfaction either blot or mixture [intermarriage] on that surface.”
