I find it interesting that the only reaction so far to Mr. Finkleman's initial statements about Jefferson and Senator Allen's remarks are about TJ's "problem" with slavery. Mr. Finkleman also made a very sweeping and preposterous statement that conservatives/Republicans are against religious freedom in the US today.
