“Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error.” (Andrew Jackson)
Counting down the seconds before Lib pits you for this.
Yeah, I thought about that … but decided what the hell…
“I am 20 times better than Washington, 10 times better than Jefferson, 4 times better than Lincoln, and twice as good as Hamilton”.
Andrew Jackson
DAMN! This always happens. I guess I’m gonna have to buy HAPPY BELATED ANDREW JACKSON BIRTHDAY cards again.
That I did not shoot Henry Clay and hang John Calhoun…
Possibly apocryphal story of Jackson’s deathbed words when asked his greatest regrets- sometimes it’s hang Clay and shoot Calhoun.
Y’all come on by the house later…- Jackson at his inaugural, and they did.
OUCH! MANIFEST FUCKING DESTINY ON A STOLEN INDIAN GRAVEYARD ON A STICK THAT HURT!- Jackson’s comment upon being shot in a duel (according to my Ouija board)
Trivia: Jackson was one of three presidents to be born after the death of his father. Who were the other two?
I’m glad for this thread. It reminds me that it’s my dad’s birthday today.
Interesting family fact: my dad was born on Jackson’s birthday, his mom was born on Jefferson’s birthday, my mom was born on Lincoln’s birthday, and I was born on Washington’s birthday.
Odd that he would compare himself to Lincoln, seeing as how he died in 1845…
Can we add fortune telling to his long list of accomplishments?
He was referring to Roy Lincoln, a guy who went to his gym (“Lawg Bodies: Since 1792”) and could only bench press 50 pounds to Jackson’s 200.
And here I am hoping that Liberal makes the grand gesture of rage, and sends me every piece of paper he has with Andy Jackson’s picture on it.
I was born on FRANKLIN PIERCE’s birthday. So your whole family can suck it.
Oh, yeah, he’s the guy on the seven-dollar bill, right?
I graduated from Franklin Pierce High School. Our school motto was “Oh well”.
