		<description><![CDATA[I find much of my writing about politics distracting.  I do it because it&#8217;s necessary.  I can&#8217;t stand by and do nothing while a feral democracy destroys my country, so I have been writing in this blog mostly about political issues.  But I need to spend a little more time getting back to what this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter once to Thomas B.

		<description><![CDATA[In 1798 and 1799 Thomas Jefferson had conversations with Dr Joseph Priestly and Dr Benjamin Rush on the topic of the Christian faith.  Jefferson was questioned about his own religious beliefs.  Jefferson put off his response until about four years later when he was serving as President.  He wrote a short outline entitled &#8220;Syllabus of [...]]]></description>

Neither of us belongs to a religious organization, so he won&#8217;t pick up values at church.
