Words spoken by thomas jefferson, who said a little rebellion now and then is a good thing. Our country is in peril. Our deficit is at a record amount. Our economy, the economic recovery is stagnant. Our place in the world is weakened. So i have a simple solution. It is time for a little rebellion on the battlefield of ideas.
