When we are finally rid of the Democrat party we will have removed tyranny as an institutionalized reality in our national life. Provided, of course, the Republicans do not assume the same mantle.
Please post all of this for those of us behind firewalls.
“Andrew Jackson was an unabashed enemy of American nationalism. “
That is supposed to be a joke, right?
The same General Jackson who defeated the British at New Orleans?
The same President Jackson who threatened to use military force against South Carolina when SC threatened to secede during the Nullification Crisis?
The same Andrew Jackson whose support assured the election of James K Polk, the most expansionist President since Tom Jefferson? Manifest Destiny ring a bell?
Jackson’s involvement with Burr’s schemes is known to have been innocent. He was asked for assistance by Burr but he wasn’t inside the conspiracy of Burr and Gen James Wilksinson, a man he detested.
for later
Interesting, perhaps, but I don’t think conservative Republicans will get much traction in the 2014 or 2016 elections by talking about the “scheming and treachery of Aaron Burr.”
