Intriguing idea, but why the last bit about Thomas Jefferson? One cannot know what he would have thought of Internet. And more importantly, it doesn't really matter at all.

It's really just "appeal to authority", which is a very common logical fallacy used in politics. Everyone has their opinion on the intent of the founding fathers and that is used to sway many political arguments.
