This kind of thinking was Jefferson's downfall, IMO. One gets the sense sometimes that he was a CJ or bentway, tossing around rather dumb concepts to see what rouses peoples' interests. Most of the world thought representative government was a "dumb concept" at the time. Most everything that has been successful was once considered a "dumb concept".

Another Thomas that explains today's liberal socialist communist progressives... Message 25363308 Norman Mattoon Thomas (November 20, 1884 – December 19, 1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America. The Socialist Party candidate for President of the US, Norman Thomas, said this in a 1944 speech: "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism," they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform."
