Thank you Neil for your keen observation of the planning, handling,
scheming, by certain authors to convey these lies to the public. We know
things originate from high on top of Mr. Jefferson's "little mountain."
We know where certain authors go to "gather their brand of research" and
we know WHY and by whom the agenda is perpetuated. Thanks again for your
insight and I would encourage all readers to closely observe what this
book and others of it's category are TRYING to portray......it's not in
the best interest of our nation's history to "badmouth TJ" IF you have
NO proof. This book and the earlier one will be used in our classrooms
and it will persuade unknown students to accept it as fact.........do
you want your children and future generations to be "spoon fed" this
inaccurate material?

Herbert Barger and all,

You are not alone in combatting the nonsensical political correctness
and 
historical revisionism bs, that seems to be a never ending effort by
some at 
this list.  We understand the 'twisting' of facts, documents, etc. and 
outright false claims by the likes of Gordon-Reed and Ellis to mention
only 
two.  We understand how others of this group chime in and head-nod in an

attempt to persuade unknowing readers.  We do indeed understand this is
an 
organized effort.  There is plenty of well documented evidence to
document 
your claims, much of it on-line, so there will be more to come if this 
nonsense doesn't stop.  Thanks for your efforts, Herb.

Neil McDonald
