What Jefferson was actually advocating, was a brain transplant every few years for illiterates that tried to misquote him 230 years later.

Are you referring to this remark? "% "I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical." -- Thomas Jefferson, Letter to James Madison, January 30, 1787" Found at tuxedo.org Haven't checked the politics of the site but that's not too important for me since I remember this quote from my grade school days(NYC liberal public school).

Here are some more quotes from the same source. % The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Abigail Adams, 1787 % [W]hat country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that [the] people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms...The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Col. William S. Smith, 1787
