When you get down to it, if I have to name the nation's most Corrupt Administration off the top of my head, I'd say Andrew Jackson.

Agreed! When Jackson forced the Cherokee living in the Carolinas, and northern Georgia, west on the Trail Of Tears he was sued in the USSC. When the Justices ruled against him Jackson said he was the commander in chief and if they wanted to stop him then they'd have to get their own army.

Mr. "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it!" Jackson.

Yeap! That's what he said.

Abraham Lincoln, yo. Writ of habeus what now?

The Justices ruled against him too. It may be ironic, in that he was a slave owner, but Thomas Jefferson was against slavery and may of tried to do the most for liberty. In early drafts of the DOI, Declaration of Independence Jefferson wrote everybody including slaves and women had the same rights. However because some who believed in slavery eventually signed the DIO this was taken out.

What the hell did 9/11 change? There has always been a threat from this group or that group. The threat has always been relatively small, but the groups do what they do to instill fear that however small the risk, it could happen to you. That's why they're called "terrorists". The only difference is that the attack on 9/11 claimed more lives than those before it or since. There is no moral or ethical difference in the world today from that on 10 September, and there should be no difference in the judgements and responses of a rational, objective person.

What happened on 9/11 only claimed more lives than any other terrorist act? The US killed far more American Indians than died in the WTC. Four thousand Cherokee died when Andrew Jackson broke a treaty and forced them to march from the Carolinas and northern Georgia on the Trail of Tears. More recent then? How about the thousands of Chileans who were killed and the tens of thjousands who "disappeared" when Pres Ford and Kissinger supported Gen. Penochet and his coup against the democratically elected president of Chile? Do you know that September 11 has another meaning to Chileans? That's when the military launched it's attack on the civilian government. And what about the approximately 200,000 who were killed after Ford and Kissinger supported Indonesia's invasion of East Timor in 1975? Falcon

We certainly are a nation divided.

I was trying to think of a counter joke, when I found this on Google...

There always is a couple links to the original links I was looking for when I ended up finding that...
heh...

However, the person referred to by the OP who rejected that request is Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh, Sr.- his uncle .

Appears to be Rush Limbaugh's Uncle or Cousin! (looks like this Stephen is the cousin)

Algore lost. Dubya won. Deal with it.

Hey, anyone wanna see if we can get The Hermitage (Andrew Jackson's home) turned over to the Cherokee? That rat-bastard single-handedly created the Trail of Tears, and violated his oath of office (to uphold the Constitution) in doing so. From a website on the Trail of Tears.

The Cherokees successfully challenged Georgia in the U.S. Supreme Court. President Jackson, when hearing of the Court's decision, reportedly said, "[Chief Justice] John Marshall has made his decision; let him enforce it now if he can."
