If only we could resurrect those who founded this country, it would be fascinating to hear their reactions to the egregious degree our Constitution has been subverted.
The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th, 1776. This momentous document was authored by Thomas Jefferson.
Considering the 4th of July ranks amongst the top five holidays celebrated in the United States each year, it is startling how much liberty we have allowed our government to rob us of.
One can view the many quotes of Thomas Jefferson by logging on to any number of websites dedicated to him. What’s amazing is how timely his words remain after more than 200 years have passed.
Here are a few examples of Thomas Jefferson’s inspirational quotes that reveal what he might say about the federal government controlling what we are allowed to learn about foods and what nutrients we are allowed to ingest:
“Was the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now. “
“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.”
“Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.”
“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.”
“History, in general, only informs us of what bad government is.”
“I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion.”
“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”
“I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.”
“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”
“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.”
“It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.”
“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.”
“Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question.”
“Most bad government has grown out of too much government. “
