And to answer Jimmy's question, it all started with the Wilson administration and the "progressives" of his time.

I just wished that we as Americans, like you have, could read the founders (in their own words) which is hard to find and may mean a trip to the Library of Congress (it can be done on line) as so many of our history books (those written after 1920) have been re-wrote to match the new history. May I suggest, A Patriot'd History of the United States, The Real George Washington, the Real Thomas Jefferson, and the Real Benjamin Franklin...Also Sacred Fire, all new books, to those who may be interested.

I feel it is safe to say that he would be horrified at what is going on now.

Not only was Jefferson an obviously intelligent man, but he seems to have been a bit of a prognosticator as well. It appears almost everything he had predicted has come to pass, and it doesn't look like it can be 'fixed!' Where ( and when ) did it all go wrong? Difficult to pinpoint sometimes. People ( and various historians ) have theories, and suggestions, but as always, it's closing the barn doors after the horses have escaped! What now . . . ?
