Hugorfonics Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Who was a better person, who was a better president? First Democrat or first Republican? Old Hickory or The Great Emancipator? One doubled the size of the union, the other preserved it. The racist or the tyrant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigima Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Well, Lincoln fought a war to preserve the union and end slavery as an American practice. On the other hand, Jackson beat the shit out of a would-be assassin with a walking stick, which is probably the best Presidential anecdote.

DanteGabriel Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I prefer the guy who defeated the Slavelords' Rebellion to the guy who perpetrated an illegal genocide against Native Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Well Lincoln is a top 5 US President, probably top 3 really, and Jackson is bottom 10. So this isn't really much of a competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lummel Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Michael Jackson was the first Democrat? That would explain a lot, but judging by the other comments his childhood was plainly even more troubled than I had imagined. Small wonder he turned out so crazy in the end.

Whitestripe Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I have no idea but I was recently in the park and a mom called "Jackson! Lincoln! It's time to go!" I wondered what her other children might be named. Carter? Madison? Fillmore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered what her other children might be named. Carter? Madison? Fillmore? Probably not Fillmore, but Carter, Kennedy, Reagan, McKinley, and Truman have all had upswings as given names in the USA recently. Plus Nixon is, believe it or not, popular for boys born in Utah.

DanteGabriel Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Lincoln was a warmongering dictator? That's going to need some backing up. Of course, he used federal force to infringe upon people's rights to own other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I guess that's only true if the people being killed are American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word for that is "leader". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
