Post a CommentThat quote gets attributed to a lot of people. Thomas Jefferson never said that.
How true! Praying for your husband and you.
I agree.
The government is sooooo capable of helping/screwing things up. We have to be careful of the power we give them. Take care of your husband and yourself.
Yep!
That's a cracker of a quote! So very true. As cathiesbloggs said 'Scary.' XXX Love and still praying for you and your hubby, Linda
And there you have it, robritt. Jefferson, Hamilton, Adams, etc., all knew what big, centralized government was capable of -- experiencing it firsthand. Many tend to mentally deny the existence of Jefferson, et. al., previous to their roles as founders, but those gentlemen grew up, were educated, and worked under, with, around, and/or within the British government prior to their days as framers of our republic. Most governments, including our own, fit Jefferson's definition of "big enough" these days...
I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. My hubby is not doing well, especially after his recent surgery for cancer on that arm again., besides his mind is not working right since the last stroke and it take almost constant care to look after him. I will continue to post these quote as time permits but hope you all understand. Thank you all for your friendship and understanding. Hugs Robritt
