I, for one, am entertained by the New, Politically Correct version of Rush Limbaugh. Much more entertaining as I never know what will come out of his mouth.
The Obama-Limbaugh Alliance Against Andrew Jackson is interesting. Professor Limbaugh has pointed out that the dastardly Jackson appointed Roger Taney as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in 1835, and is therefore responsible for the Dred Scott decision of 1857. Some doubters may argue that Jackson couldn’t predict a decision 21 years in the future, but that is just proof that they are closet Kluxers who burn crosses on the neighbor’s lawn.

LOL! I’m not sure I have the fortitude to accept that as entertaining. You are made of sterner stuff than I am, apparently!
Jackson challenged the bankers and powers that be in the banking system. He was also looked down on by all the elitists of his day because he was not in their club. He did have some warts, but they used different measuring rods then than we use today. It is so very easy to judge from a sense of self-righteousness, but imho that is a trap. I think we should certainly seek the lessons and see what might have been better... and then try to go forward DOING better! But that’s just me.
What concerns me most is the move by the left and power elite to gradually erase real American History - warts and all. We all NEED to know our past both the good and shining moments and especially the warts.
