History is Hard,especially for those doomed to repeat it.

I dunno. I feel I did a good job with a nice little synopsis.

No, Jackson learned his military strategy by reading Sun Tsu and Rommel.

Andrew Jackson, from his childhood, bore on his face the scar from a British officers saber. I believe he’d come to the defense of his older brother. He developed a lifelong hatred for the British. When the British returned to “their colonies” to wrap up the pesky matter of the course colonial ruffians revolt, they ran smack dab into a now grown up Andrew Jackson. If it hadn’t been for his stand at the Battle Of New Orleans (and his vow that no Brit “would spend a night on American soil”) we would probably still have slavery in this land. He was also a duelist. If the BLM folk would like to remove the statue to their new American African American American Museum in DC, I support the motion.

Whites, Western History & our culture are under attack. There is only one way to stop this but it remains to be seen if White Westerners still have it in them to protect our heritage and in fact protect us?

It has been obvious for some time that the current administration is corrupt top to bottom and is replete with criminals and traitors.

Take 'Em Down Nola releases plans to take down Andrew Jackson statue on Saturday

11:29 AM CDT Sep 23, 2016

NEW ORLEANS —
The city will appeal an order to stop the removal of four Confederate monuments around town next Wednesday, but before that hearing one group plans to make a major move in this on-going battle.

"We're sick and tired of it. The mayor has been too slow. Nine months is long enough," said Pastor Marie Galatas Ortiz, a protest organizer.

The group Take 'Em Down NOLA plans to throw ropes around the statue of Andrew Jackson and pull it down on Saturday.

When the group announced its intent, city officials responded asking them to cancel plans or face jail time.

"We don't support any law that would defend the maintenance of these white supremacy monuments. So that's a law that we're prepared to ignore. It's a law we're prepared to challenge in court," said Malcolm Suber, with Take 'Em Down NOLA.

The iconic Andrew Jackson statue is not one of the four monuments that the council voted to remove earlier this year. But the protest organizers say it's just as bad, and it needs to go too.

"He is not deserving of any public adoration. People around the country have already decided that he is not deserving to be on the 20 dollar bill any longer-- replacing him with Harriet Tubman. We think if people around the country recognize that, we certainly should recognize that right here in the city of New Orleans," said Suber.

The group plans to meet at 1 p.m. in Congo Square then march to Jackson Square where they plan to take down the statue.

“LOL, oh yes, that great Civil War villain, Andrew Jackson. Wasn’t he the guy who led the March to the Sea, burning Atlanta along the way? He was advised by the Roman Cicero, and his lieutenant, Hannibal, used his elephants to cross the Smokey Mountains.”

Not sure f he led the march to the sea. But we can always ask his second in command, Brian Williams.

The Justice Department’s Hillary Investigation Reeks Of Corruption

Hillary Clinton is above the law. She was never going to be indicted. And now we know none of her friends had to worry, either.

Obama supports the rioters, there is no other conclusion to make.

It is important to say this, for those who are uneducated. To we who pay attention, though, there is no greater and more obvious truth.

Much love bro. Hope all is well.

“How about the Joan of Arc equestrian statue?”

Eeeeek! Nooooooooo!
Of course, Joan was a woman who dressed like a man.
So she’s good.

If they want to protest Andrew Jackson they should abandon the Democratic Party of which he was a founder.

What’s missing here?

**************

Intelligence and the respect for the rule of law is what’s missing.

They just want to riot and destroy other people’s property.

She wasn’t Civil War but she once smacked a whore across her rear end with a sword. Don’t whore lives matter?

In the French Quarter, YES.

Cue House of the Rising Sun.

Oh, but they are after Washington, Jefferson, all the dead white men responsible for this country. You and I are eventually in the group to be targeted as well. You don’t even have to be dead or a former slave owner to be targeted.
