Okay, I get it.

But, Jackson was even more of a rebel.

I guess I better get with it and read “Original Intent” .. that might explain a lot of things.

To: Tupelo
I can remember handing a tribal member a$20 Bill and being asked to please give him something else.

Oh look, the normalizing absurd liberal bullsh#t brigade had shown up.

Well you know what? When I was a kid, my school banned the use of the name "Tupelo" because Elvis was born there and went on to destroy music with his sexualized hip movements. Teachers would wash out kids mouths for saying Tupelo.

No joke.

Andrew Jackson fought and hated central bankers. Of course, that would be who they want to remove.

Cant have some inquisitive kid look at a 20 and get on Google and learn some interesting things.

“Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the Eternal God, I will rout you out.”

I guess he didn’t ever hear about “too big to fail”.

Jackson did not oppose the Federal Reserve. That came along decades later. He opposed a central bank.

Quite the opposite. Hamilton was in favor of a strong federal government. He also had a very notorious affair with a married woman while he himself was married. Sounds like a Democrat to me.

Sheesh, a Liberal lambasting the father of the modern Democratic party? Is she being ironic on purpose or does she really not know?

Jackson and his wife Rachael are interred in an elaborate Greek style tomb at the Hermitage in Nashville. The tomb is protected by an iron fence. The Hermitage is a privately owned commercial operation subjected to security monitoring.

yes, but it’s because they are mentally still children. they never really grow out of the “if i can’t have my way i’m going to throw a temper tantrum” phase that’s familiar to parents with 3 year olds.

gimme a cookie or i’m going to stamp my feet and cry!

25 years later...

change the face on the currency to a lesbian transgendered communist or i’m going to go online and write a blog where i metaphorically stamp my feet and cry!

it’s the same behavior.

“Greenberg, writing for Politico Magazine last week, claims Jackson is “the president who made American democracy democratic.” As a lawyer who has studied the United States Constitution extensively, I find nothing democratic in a president who oversteps the constitutional bounds of his authority and defies another co-equal branch of government.”

Uh, I wonder if dear Mary would defend this administration?

it’s been a couple of years... wouldn’t be a bad time for people to go back and re-watch that John Adams miniseries again. to be reminded that our founding fathers were much smarter than the current crop of SJWs give them credit for.

The trip was long. And for an eleven-year-old, somewhat painful. Wedged in the backseat between my younger sisters and their respective mountains of Barbies, the eight hour drive felt like an insufferable eternity.

Leftist females control liberal women by talking to them like they're absolutely brain-damaged, drooling morons.

This article is a so over-the-top screaming lie and social manipulation for Hillary's campaign it's truly astounding, even for Cankles. You want to know what that bitch is going to do for the next year and a half? This kind of social oppression of women crap. She can't face the public, so she's going to create a firestorm of perceived female oppression by proxies, all for the votes of her zombie idiots.

Hillary is the end of the democratic process. She's taking all of its most demogogic aspects and driving them right over the cliff. Her arrogance and cynicism this time around are fantastically ugly, even for her. She's reached a Disney-level caracature of an evil old witch.

John Adams was a far greater President than most people realize. Near the top of my list.
