Revisionist History

 Texas rewrites American history and removes Thomas Jefferson from the list of writers who inspired revolution and replaced him with religious leaders.

Thomas set the standard himself, though. He rewrote the New Testament, afterall. I suppose there is precedent for revision.

I wonder if ol’ Thomas has turned in his grave yet? And to think, just last month they were invoking the name of Jefferson to support their wingnuttery. He did write the Declaration of Independence, didn’t he? I don’t know – we will have to see the final draft of the new American History

Public domain Facsimile of Declaration of Independence

I thought a facsimile appropriate under the circumstances.
