Via Steve Benen, here's President Bush quoting Thomas Jefferson at Monticello:
On the 50th anniversary of America’s independence, Thomas Jefferson passed away. But before leaving this world, he explained that the principles of the Declaration of Independence were universal. In one of the final letters of his life, he wrote, ‘May it be to the world, what I believe it will be — to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all — the Signal of arousing men to burst the chains, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government.’”
But the president left out a line. Here's the actual Jefferson quote:
“May it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government.”
"Monkish ignorance and superstition persuading them to bind themselves." Sounds like #3 was perfectly warning us against #43. No wonder the president left that part out.
