    he was most conservative of founders who created Republican party in 1792 to stand for very very limited govt

    Thomas Jefferson:
    That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves.


    "The path we have to pursue[when Jefferson was President ] is so quiet that we have nothing scarcely to propose to our Legislature."

    Liberal, as in classical liberal.

    Modern day liberals aren't liberal. They just call themselves that, while being anti-liberal.

    You guys consider the founders conservatives. Especially Jefferson. I'm pointing out that BOTH parties, including conservatives, grow the government.

    100% of support to shrink govt is in Republican party. They proposed 30 BBA's for example and all 30 were killed by Democrats. Nowdo you understand?

    I'm only a single person. No need to refer to me by the royal we.

    I don't consider Jefferson a conservative. He was an advocate of civil liberties under the rule of law, and emphasized economic freedoms found in economic liberalism which is also called free market capitalism. Totally opposite of the opponents of economic and person liberty characterized by the conservatives of his day.

    actually if Democrats killed 30 Balancd budget Amendmants you would say they expanded govt and Republicans opposed such expansion. They voted for BBA to oppose expansion. Got it now?

    once again, a president is not the govt. IF Jefferson expanded govt it was because there was not enough support to shrink it Please think about that over and over until it sinks in. THe concept is not impossible for a liberal to grasp
