She starts off by misquoting Jefferson....not a good beginning. The actual quote (contained in a June 3, 1792 letter from Jefferson to British envoy George Hammond, published in Henry Augustine's "The Writings of Thomas Jefferson,") is as follows: "I told him that the idea of having no military posts on either side was new to me: that it had never been mentioned among the members of the executive: that therefore I could only speak for myself and say that, prima facie, it accorded well with two favorite ideas of mine, of leaving commerce free, and never keeping an unnecessary soldier; but when he spoke of having no military posts on either side, there might be difficulty in fixing the distance of the nearest posts." In context, he was writing about trade with Indians......not National Defense. Not surprised that she would manipulate the quote in this manner given what she does nightly on her TV show. I also like how she totally omitted the "free commerce" part....after all, Jefferson wrote of his "two favorite ideas". Given this inauspicious beginning, how can anyone believe anything in this book?
