I was asked to quote Jefferson, not in support or negation of any point of political debate, but simply because I was asked to "quote a few bars." If there is any "slime," it is what you just did.

Nope. You cited Jefferson and in so doing, you suggested that he would align himself with your interpretations of the founder's intentions and against those of Seger's. I totally disagree with you on that basis.

Seger is right. The libs' secular humanistic rationales, of which you seem to be a true believer, are vastly different from Jefferson. And let's get real, Seger is also right in his assessment of your desire to change America into a vast wasteland of compromise based on 'light and transient causes.' I found it blissfully ironic that you chose to call up his reference to what Reagan would have termed "staying the course," or his advice to resist change based on social attitudes, which history proves often do morph into temporary stupidity. Jefferson understood clearly that the character of God does not change, nor does His admonitions or His law, and certainly not His coming Judgment.

That is the model of his advice, stay the course.
