Here are some classic quotes and videos from across the land. Figured it was a good time to revisit a few.
Had Al Gore been born in 1800 Andrew Jackson would be considered nothing short of a "Digital Dickweed". Unfortunately he's just a dead wood now.
“Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.”ANDREW JACKSON, SPEAKING TO INTERNATIONAL BANKERS IN 1832.
