Jacksonianism

The topic of Jacksonianism came up today. Steven Den Beste has the best description of what it is to be a Jacksonian.
The whole point of Jacksonianism is "You leave me alone and I'll leave you alone. You play fair with me and I'll play fair with you. But if you fuck with me, I'll kill you."
There is a good bit more at Steven's site and it is worth reading but the above quote gets to the heart of the matter. The antitheses is the Wilsonian who wants a world government and we have seen for the last hundred years or so just how well that works... Posted by DaveH at June 24, 2006 8:50 PM
