ITS TELLLING THE TRUTH! IT MAKES US WANT TO FIGHT. -- Kayleena, AZ
Fighting & especially war feeds the Beast. The Super Rich laugh at & love Jackson & his wars & Lincoln & his war. They Feed ON it! Bank or no bank the Big Money Rules. The Fed is a dog & pony show. Politics is a dog & pony show. Lincoln was assasinated for one reason - he issued debt-free US Notes. Kennedy was assassinated for reissuing them. War is a dog & pony show, all controlled by Big Money & nothing else. All our beliefs trained into us in church & school are for the purpose of WAR between each other & between states & nations. You want the Truth? You can't handle the Truth! You can only handle pretty lies!! You are fat, lazy & stupid!! Too weak to do anything but snivel. Big Money likes you that way. Women rule. Men are pregnant. Fuggeddabaddit!!! -- Loser, Milheim, Pa. 1

I'm not quite sure how to rate this. I can put definitions to the quote where 5 stars would not be enough while on the other hand, a thumb's down doesn't do it justice either. Context would help. Jackson was one of those love or hate him kind of people — except for rare exceptions, he was not the greatest advocate of rights or liberty. -- Mike, Norwalk 1
