Wretchard at the Belmont Club, as he so often does, speaks directly to the point. He posts from Samizdata who quotes from a Thomas Jefferson rough draft of the Declaration of Independence. Don't miss Samizdata's post. And Wretchard comments:

Reading these words today, one is struck by their sheer audacity. The plotters, as they might well have been called, staked everything on the outcome of the enterprise. A noose awaited the losers. This is in stark contrast to the equivocating, weasely behavior of modern leaders who would, if it were possible, have their cake and eat it too.
