Thomas Jefferson wasn't the author of the Declaration of Independence. That's as far as I needed to go. Thomas Payne had more to do with it than he did.

"Church bells rang out over Philadelphia on July 4, 1776....signalling that the Declaration of Independence was approved and officially adopted by the Continental Congress.

A month earlier Congress had appointed a Committee of Five to draft a statement to the world presenting the colonies' case for independence. The committee consisted of John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Robert R. Livingston of New York and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia. The committee assigned Jefferson the task of writing the original document. After minor alterations were subsequently made by Franklin and Adams, the document was submitted to Congress."

"Due to similarities with Thomas Paine's Common Sense, there are some scholars who believe Thomas Paine actually penned the first draft of the Declaration of Independence, providing the style and key phrases to Thomas Jefferson. His ideas are further embodied in the U. S. Constitution, although he did not help to write that document. His principles keyed on the fundamental rights of man and the need for subservience of government. These two common sense concepts provided a broad foundation for a democratic yet representative constitutional approach to resolving disputes and managing an independent country. They encourage common sense in government. "

Yes, it is offensive. It is offensive to those of us that know the difference between tyranny, repression, genocide, torture and those that think that, just because they had trouble controlling their bed wetting as children, we are oblidged to hear their silly rants about things that 99% of the world try to do anything in their power to have.

Yes, it is offensive. It is offensive because it trivializes and marginalizes the whole race of mankind that was almost exterminated by a tyrant of another day just as the tyrant of Baghdad tried to do on his own scale.

Yes, you are right, it is offensive to some. I hope it is offensive to all.
