<p>Andrew Jackson ftw.</p>
<p>Muslim and proud</p>
<p>Andrew Jackson really was one of the worst presidents ever.</p>
<p>he would’ve had a holocaust with the indians if hitler’s holocaust occured before him</p>
<p>Don’t forget the part where he caused a constitutional crisis by ignoring the Supreme Court.</p>
<p>OMG now I know Yale is right for me. There are SO many libertarians!!!</p>
<p><3 RON PAUL!</p>
<p>Andrew Jackson is a beast.</p>
<p>^pleaseyale - i’m muslim tooo! Yale MSA, anyone?
I’m not too into politics though</p>
<p>Msa, of course if I get in.</p>
<p>Libertarians are so selfish.</p>
<p>I liked it better when Jackson was a judge.</p>
<p>Are you kidding Andy Jackson was an all around winner = D. Besides, John Marshall needed to be taught lessen for being a wise guy in the Worcester V. Georgia. Although, I will concede he might have screwed up a bit with the destruction of our National Bank…</p>
<p>@Stupefy </p>
<p>Four pages late again, but I live in Philly. All this KOP mall talk is funny to see on CC; I went there last weekend to see Precious. </p>
<p>Oh oh oh I’m ready for the politics talk - but has that fizzled out? I like the libertarian ideologies, but fall just left of center when it comes to considering real-life issues. </p>
<p>I love the maturity of the “obama sucks ass” comments haha</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Can’t tell if you’re serious or not. Seriously?! I hate the ■■■■■■■! Ever heard of the Trail of Tears? And yes, he did screw up on the whole National Bank thing. His Cabinet members could hardly stand him!</p>
<p>Every president has their flaws; their actions must be judged in perspective of time. After all, before the Native American Movement, Jackson was looked upon quite highly. </p>
<p>I’m not saying the Trail of Tears is justifiable. Putting that aside, he was one of the most straightforward and down to earth presidents who did whatever he wanted to do. “John Marshall has made his decision. Now let’s see him enforce it.” WHAT A BALLER! That + forcing his Cabinet members to accept Peggy Eaton made him beastly. I forgot most of my US History by now, but other ballers include: FDR, Teddy “Big Stick” Roosevelt, Reagan, and maybe Carter. And yes, I’m aware I’m not being politically correct.</p>
<p>
SAME! woooo :D</p>
<p>@pigs- you’re asian and you’re a populist? dude, that’s like a paradox. are you chinese? pshh chinese people come to america because communism (cough socialism) is disgusting</p>
<p>
advocating small government is selfish?
well I think it’s selfish to expect the government to use the hard-earned money of some citizens to pay for others (who may not be as hardworking)</p>
<p>If Yale’s attracting all these moderate democrats, then I know it’s where I want to be.</p>
<p>“well I think it’s selfish to expect the government to use the hard-earned money of some citizens to pay for others (who may not be as hardworking).”</p>
<p>My thinking is in line with the basic sentiment here, but do you agree that there needs to be a system in place for assessing the extent to which a person is “not hardworking” and the extent to which a person doesn’t have equal opportunities for social and economic mobility? I have some qualms with having a capitalist system through and through.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>True. I don’t consider ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to be down to earth, though. I consider it domineering. But admittedly there are many other presidents who’ve overstepped their bounds. </p>
<p>I’m fairly liberal, but wow! Look at all the libertarians.</p>
<p>I agree with percy in the sense that certain criteria should be used to categorize the ability of a person to earn money on his/her own. Although there are exceptions to the rule in extreme cases, I generally think that each member of the working class should not have to support other people - it is the money each indvidual has rightfully earned. </p>
<p>Wow, this thread is getting very political!</p>
