Debbie Gamblin of the Clarion-Ledger offers her suggestion of what the author of the Declaration of Independence would think of the current state of America and the Crusade Against Islamist Terror.
As to the liberal columnist wondering what forefathers like Thomas Jefferson would think of America today, they would be horrified to think that nine unelected men and women have savaged our Constitution and distressed that the rhetoric being used by the terrorists and the Democrats in this country are virtually the same.Finally, they would be proud that America has a strong leader in President George W. Bush who does not govern by polls, but by principles and conviction much like those on which America was founded.

Comments on What Would Jefferson Think?
Thomas Jefferson would not even know what to make of George Bush. A man as ignorant as Bush in Jefferson's time would not have been smart enough to be hired as a servant.

He'd be thrilled to know that we can enter into wars over personal vendettas. He'd be crazy about allowing ourselves to be governed by extreme interpretations of our great Christian religion (which despite the life he lived, we all know he was actually a good Christian somewhere underneath his diest exterior).
God Bless the USA.

Y'know, it'd be scary if you had some sense of history at ALL, Mr. "GOP." How exactly has Bush "stifled dissent"? Answer: he hasn't. (Remember a thing called the Alien and Sedition Acts from TJ's time?)
Personal vendetta? Only via ultra-extreme lefty loon sites.
Bush's America isn't a FRACTION as religious as TJ's time. In TJ's time STATE churches still existed! Now, it's anathema, and even against the law, to friggin' show a nativity scene on public ground. TJ would freak if he saw THAT.
