roy , shame on you . how nasty ! how many times have you been confused in your statements or replies , with wrong names etc. ? LOL...did you also know Jackson was a Democrat ...lololol ...but you knew that already right ? :XD: :XD:
Just above your post you can find where I beat you to it about Jackson being a Democrat. Oh well, we can't always be winners, can we?
Andrew Jackson was the commander at New Orleans, also, according to the song about that one. Right?

I find it interesting that the Seminoles down here in Florida , wont carry $20 dollar bills in their wallet because of Jackson's image on them .
He mounted numerous campaigns in Florida to wipe them out but never succeeded , The Seminoles remain the only undefeated native American tribe
What Seminoles do you associate with. Many of those I knew while living in Fl weren't affluent enough to have a $20 dollar bill. Those that were didn't care whose picture was on it.

So Jackson never defeated them. I guess he must have run pretty fast when he went after them. Huh?
my my old roy , you certainly are no student of history for all your years . Jackson was no match for the Seminoles on their turf- the swamplands and everglades . They outwitted him at every turn . The old bastard went to his grave frustrated over his failure to wipe them out . In fact he couldn't even catch the escaped slaves that found refuge with the Seminoles .
btw Americans referred to him as King Andrew :mrgreen:

No you didn't old roy , now tell me true , you thought I was talking about Jesse Jackson ,and everyone knows he was never president .
And yes , there was a song about Jackson :
" In 1814 we took a little trip along with Col.Jackson down the mighty Mississip ..." we took a little bacon 'n we took a little beans 'n we met the Bloody British in the town of New Orleans "
{ They kicked the the ass of the British at new Orleans .}
lol...."well they ran through the briars and they ran through the bristles and they ran through the places where the rabbits couldn't go ......LOLOLOLOLOLOL :thumbup:
" they ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch'm ,down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico "
Knew that song when I was 6 years old , mom bought me a racoon-tail hat and a plastic musket ..lolol...I was ready to go :lol: :lol:

I don't know what part of Florida you visited , but the Seminoles have been running bingo halls, selling tax free cigs and running casinos down here for years . The Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood and the Coconut Creek Casino are owned by the Seminoles , they have their own police force and a lot of Seminoles and Micasukees are driving Lamborghini's . LOLOL...GO SEMINOLES!!! In addition they got plenty of land ...LOLOLOL...Old Hickory's probably turning in his grave .
btw old gringo , you did know that there are several tribes here in Florida . This is where many native American Tribes from all over the country were MARCHED TO , on their "new reservation " in what was then a very inhospitable , hot steamy, snake and gator infested Florida .
But you knew that right ? And you were sure you were talking to a Seminole eh ? :roll:

Give me one reason why this Dictator in the whitehouse hasn't been impeached. Congress. Congress has a bunch of pansies who are scared of Obama. He has by-pass Congress on many issues and they let him go. Some of the things he has done to the Constitution and sticking his nose up to Congress and there laws, should be impeachable. This is a bad socialist in the Whitehouse. He is not only a socialist, he is a liar, a racist, a President who is trying to take down the white class of this country. He is not an American, and he and Eric Holder, and the race hustler's, Jessie and jailbird Sharpton, and the black pathers are stirring up the races in America. We have come a long way with race relations, and now the first black president and his minions and two race hustler's from the past are stirring up trouble. Obama is dividing the country, and the left wing media is up his butt.If the media and news programs were doing their jobs, this dictator would have been impeached a long time ago. Eric Holder should have been fired a long ago or indicted and put in jail. Another racist like Obama. Obama has done nothing for this country except try to take it down. He thinks he is a King and do what he wants, but this is a Democrocy and he should be impeached for things he has done. America wake up, this guy is taking your money, doesn't care about the economy, jobs, People losing there homes and jobs.This is how socialists think. So you dummies on the left keep voting for these Democrats and it will wake you up one day when it is too late. I know you don't know any better, but you will. Your paychecks will be smaller and your hrs cut at work. But Obama can do no wrong. What a bunch of bleeding heart liberals. Remember this. LIBERALISM IS A MENTL DISORDER
Give me one reason why this Dictator in the whiteh... (

So is standing on a street corner yelling at traffic. A lot of moderate conservatives and liberals are decent fair minded patriotic americans who do not deserve these abusive labels. Try to make your point without descending into the hostility gutter my friend.

I know, and a third of them were snowbirds from damnyankee land during the winter.
There were actually 12.9 million to 15.9 million in Fl between 1950 and 1960.

I did not know that . I know many of the guys I worked with and served with from the mid 60's to 70's , got trained in refrigeration and a/c so they could go make a life in Fla. and that they did , of those who I know .
The snowbirds still come and go , and I expect that will continue as long as there are cold winters up north .

Yep, and many go to AZ in the winter, which I much prefer. I no longer go there as I no longer have any relatives residing there. They have all passed on to the happy hunting grounds. I am stuck here in Mexifornia with my offspring and their hippies in training. :lol:
