A Jeffersonian liberal or Jeffersonian conservative is diametrically opposed to the collectivist statists who use that term today.

The connection between money and big government have given us nothing but legalized corruption. Two cases in point: where I live, water is in huge demand due to gas drilling. So, some guy with connections to our Republican governor buys water from the state (he places pumps on highways to dry out creek bottoms - how'd you like to own land downstream?) at 3 cents a gallon. He resells it for 48 cents. Why was this guy picked (w/o bid)? Big connections.

Obama wants to loan $2 billion that we don't have to Petrobras, Brazil's main oil and gas company. He spoke about how much he wanted them to drill offshore. Guess what? A major stockholder in Petrobras is George Soros. And, Obama won't allow much drilling here. At the time of the BP spill, there were 32 deep rigs operating in the Gulf. Now there are five, and La. is losing lots of jobs.

Against deep water drilling here but donating money and encouraging it in Brazil.
