Overheard on Thomas Jefferson's Cellphone:



Thomas Jefferson

“I've heard this bullshit for the last time! 'Oh, the Founding Fathers were such saints of virtue and high-moral standing.' For fuck's sake! We were a bunch of rich white men, most of whom owned slaves! Most of us did not go to church, let alone believe in some high and mighty creator of the universe! ‘All men were created equal, indeed.’ Yes, except for slaves and women and anything else that came along that wasn’t white and didn’t have a penis. The Founding Fathers had no women, no Jews, no Muslims, no poor people, no non-land owners, no people of color … we were nothing but a group of privileged men with some good ideas, many of which we refused to follow ourselves! Now, if that isn’t government, I don’t know what is. Stop attempting to make us out to be more than we really were!”

Thomas Jefferson, third president and founding father
