It's common knowledge/ safe to assume...all phrases that reveal a lazy, gossip-driven perspective. Of course many don't know or care enough to wonder where this "general knowledge" comes from..usually the Chinese telephone brand of "news"!
Another form of ignorance/brainwashing/prejudice leads people to believe that when someone quotes the Holy Founding Fathers they must be doing so truthfully. Well, it apparently is no truer than their claims that the Left is responsible for all the ills of the world.
one example in this article is the numerously referenced sayings of Jefferson from The Federalist...swallowed whole by those who never read it nor paid attention in history class. The phony founding fathers quotes from the conservatives go unquestioned by a dumbed down public...something Jefferson did warn against, along with corporations and bankers.
