"Nullification means insurrection and war; and the other states have a right to put it down." ― Andrew Jackson Topic(s): War More From Andrew Jackson "The people are the government, administering it by their agents; they are the government, the sovereign power." "Peace, above all things, is to be desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms." "The wisdom of man never yet contrived a system of taxation that would operate with perfect equality." More In War "The rule for effective governance is simple. It is one Ronald Reagan knew by heart. And one that he successfully employed with Social Security and the Cold War. When there is a problem, you fix it. That is the job you have been sent to do and you cannot wait for someone else to do it for you."― Chris Christie "The Berlin Wall wasn’t the only barrier to fall after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. Traditional barriers to the flow of money, trade, people and ideas also fell."― Fareed Zakaria "If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war, and not popularity seeking."― William Tecumseh Sherman
