== Conservative? ==
Yeah, should we really call Thomas Jefferson a Conservative? Last I checked, he supported the Jacobin terrors of the French Revolution, even AFTER their horrific acts came to light, and last I checked, the Jacobins were practically the founders of the Left-wing. Not to mention his calls for permanent revolution and his supporting slavery by practice and even to some extent in beliefs (he basically said there cannot be any freed African Americans in America, they either be slaves or shipped back to Africa, which was something George Washington was against). I only recall a few instances of people calling for permanent revolution, and they were figures who were decidedly left-wing and not conservative by any stretch (I'm thinking of Vladimir Lenin and Che Guevara). I'm not sure I should list Jefferson as a conservative at all. Even the Jeffersonian Republicans article noted they have more in common with the modern liberals than true conservatives.
