I'd like to consider myself a Jeffersonian Democrat.

This guy litteraly supports somewhome who identfies himself as a socialist...
Because you just read "Democrat" out of that whole thing and went straight to insults...
the Jeffersonian Democrat - defined
A Jeffersonian Democrat is a true federalist, believing in a limited government, republican in form, existing only for very specific and defined functions, and with checks and balances on all levels, particularly at the State level. The States themselves should be the ultimate check on the central government, as they stand for the rights of individuals against the central government, and should be the final arbiters of the Constitution. To the Jeffersonian Democrat, the States themselves are sovereign, and only delegate certain powers to the central government for the purpose of convenience and expediency. To the Jeffersonian Democrat, the First Amendment is there to protect religion from the influence of government, not the other way around. To the Jeffersonian Democrat, an armed populace and an active press are the best deterrents against tyranny.

"as being Godless/Communist/Socialist/Fascist/et al. "
Pretty easy to grasp. i.e. socialist is warranted when the person claims to be a socialist : )
