Blake – How nice for one of Mr. Barton’s eloquent fans to join us. This post was not about John Jay. And Jefferson’s signature ended the slave trade. At least the importation of slaves; his own personal slave trade continued until he died. Do you deny that? That is what is at issue in this post.

You realize you guys are full of crap, right?
