Thomas Jefferson Hates the Red States

Yep, it's true TJ is shrill and hates god and red state people

"History, I believe," Thomas Jefferson wrote, "furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes."

This quote from a generally interesting article on Salon

The article also shows that Kennedy hated God and the Red States, too,

"I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute; where no Catholic prelate would tell the President -- should he be Catholic -- how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote; where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference ... where no public official either requests or accept instructions on public policy from the Pope or ... any other ecclesiastical source; where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials."

Who knew that one of our "great" Presidents and a founding father could be so out of touch with the common man to speak this way?

It's sad, really.
