I think it's important to honor the service to one's country, in whatever form it may take, regardless of background or credo.

"It's just incredible that he would die on July 4th, the same day of the Declaration of Independence and the same day that Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died, and he certainly is a patriot in the mold of those great men," said former North Carolina GOP Rep. Bill Cobey.

I think Jefferson would have hated that SOB.

I think Jefferson would have hated that SOB.

I think Jesus would have hated him...I think his mother probably hated him.
