That quoting Jefferson makes your point more valid than someone else's?
It's not the respect you have for these men that's the question, but the habit of using them to justify one's position.
It's akin to quoting the Bible to make a point. All countries have great leaders, but not all people constantly refer to their utterances as gospel, as validation for a particular point of view.
If I have an opinion and you disagree, and quote Hamilton to support your disagreement, why does that make you "right" and me "wrong"?
