Thomas Jefferson Talks

Republican Theocracy vs Thomas Jefferson on Religion, God, Government, Rights & Reason AOC News Musings

Reading again the words of Thomas Jefferson on God and government is enlightening, especially given the events of the past week. Refusing to deal with jobs and the economy, Washington Republicans focused on their top priority of making America a theocracy.

Today’s op ed in The Pilot, Southern Pines, NC sets the stage for Jefferson’s words:

Godly Female Submission

Malaysia Bans Distribution of ‘Obedient Wives Club’ Book AOC Sensual Rebel

  1. Piety – believed to be more religious and spiritual than men
  2. Purity – pure in heart, mind, and body
  3. Submission – held in “perpetual childhood” where men dictated all actions and decisions
  4. Domesticity – a division between work and home, encouraged by the Industrial Revolution; men went out in the world to earn a living, home became the woman’s domain where a wife created a “haven in a heartless world” for her husband and children.

Caleb Atwater, Esq. wrote: “Religion is exactly what a woman needs, for it gives her that dignity that best suits her dependence.” And Mrs. John Sanford… agreed thoroughly: “Religion is just what a woman needs. Without it she is ever restless and unhappy…”
