Unless you already read an article on this then take a guess

Probably also depends on the value of a slave... sad but true.

LBJ was up there near the top but not in the top two

My guess would be Jefferson or Washington... just based on Monticello and Mount Vernon respectively. I think Jefferson owned a plantation as well.

The article I read showed their peak value

Which was not what they necessarily were worth at debt. Some had bad fortunes in later life

I know that Jefferson had big time debt problems by the time he died.

do you ever have the ability to comment without making it a political issue?

I only put this in politics because it had to do with presidents. There was no other agenda.

Had there been I would have made notice of some of the particulars.

I'm guessing it has more to do with the fact that you "joke" the same way that you attack people on a regular basis. Perhaps you should consider "joking" without making things personal in the process.

Just a suggestion.

Why is it even joking is an attack to a right winger? Hell, I've always known that simply disagreeing with a righty is considered an attack.

You righties are soooooo sensitive. :turninggay2:

You completely ignored what I said... par for the course. I'm telling you that your "joking" comes off exactly like your attacks do. So its difficult to tell the difference.

And you ignored what I said that simply disagreeing with a conservobot is considered an attack.

Oh and FYI - I consider "conservobot" a term of endearment. I love you guys. You guys make it interesting. How boring would it be if everybody actually made sense and voted for their own best interests?

drop the crap

this was not meant to be anything more than what the original post stated

plenty other threads to comment in if you want to do that

 

[Johnfromokc]

Threads drift. Get over it.
