Oh that soooo rocks! Go ahead, Goode, call Jefferson unpatriotic, I DARE you!
Style and wit, well done Mr. Ellison!
Jefferson wasn’t a Christian either so I suppose Goode will see this as an even worse slap in the face of god fearing Americans.
Man… you’d be suprised at some of the disdain that some of those on the extreme right have for Mr. Jefferson… I guess that that “wall of separation” thing is antithetical to their cause…
Checkmate!
That’s fantastic news!
“Dissent is the highest form of Patriotism” – Thomas Jefferson
An aside, I just found the Jefferson Bible online…hmmmmmmmm…y’all should check this out:

“Dissent is the highest form of Patriotismâ€? – Thomas Jefferson
Jefferson never said that, at least not that anyone can show. It was anarcho-pacifist Dorothy Hewitt Hutchinson who first said something quite like it in 1965, and ACLU president Nadine Strossen who has continually mis-attributed it to Jefferson since at least 1991.
I think it would be hilarious to ask Goode if he would swear in on the “Jefferson Bible.” I don’t think much of Ellison either, but every time Goode opens his mouth Ellison slices his tongue and pours a little lemon juice on it, and in the most entertaining fashion.
Well you learn something new everyday.
Tully,
I’ll settle for this confirmed quote.
Interesting post. I have made a twitter post about this. Others no doubt will like it like I did.
