But my point is that liberals should stop being intellectually-dishonest and admit their dislike of Jackson is based on his economic policies, not his Indian policy.

We can dislike him for both, Mr. Strawman.

Yes it's history and the social norms were different in his era. As humans it is important to improve on the progression of society but also important to recognize that our founders and forefathers lived in different times. Culture is a huge part of how one's political and ideological development evolves. He was extremely aggressive but served our country well.

Attila the Hun was a successfull man of his times too. Let's put him on the bill somewhere!

George Washington owned slaves should he be on the $1 bill then?

what is your opinion on this matter?

Sounds like a "who the f*** cares?" kind of post.

This is like when atheists bitch about "In God We Trust" being on the dollar bill.  I frankly could care less what the money was in trust to, just as long as it gets me my damn Kellans.

But hey that's just me.

People who worry about what's on dollar bills need to see a psychiatrist.
