Best President

[Alex Libman]

Whoever voted JFK (who was never even elected president) must have obtained 100% of their knowledge from government schools...

Not sure what you mean never elected. Regardless, those who believe he was against "the bankers" are mislead.

If anyone should request exposition/discussion of my placements, I will happily oblige.

I don't see obama on the list. Did you forget him or leave him off on purpose? I did not vote in the poll. I think serious flaws could be found in each of their presidencies. Some more than others, which is why i understand the ranking. I would like to see a poll for the worst. wilson & fdr are good choices, but there are so many bad ones. Threads like this are moments i wish some of the banned and missing were here. You all know Travylr would have something to say.

JFK was eliminated by the one world government. SO was RFK. And there's a reason they never bothered to off EMK.

So he's the greatest president because he got offed for standing up to TPTB. Ok. I retract my derision.

No, James Madiosn is the greatest president. JFK is the greatest since Andrew Jackson. JFK ended the federal drug war with hundreds of pardons.

OMG. Harrison is obviously the best. He died before he could do any damage.

Harrison never pardoned anyone. JFK pardoned hundreds of people in the federal war on drugs and made the Narcotics Act of 1956 inoperable.

List of people pardoned or granted clemency by the President of the United States

William Henry Harrison

President William Henry Harrison was one of only two presidents who gave no pardons. This was due to his death shortly after taking office.

John F. Kennedy

Democratic President John F. Kennedy pardoned, commuted or rescinded the convictions of 575 people during his term.[12] Among them are:

First-time offenders convicted of crimes under the Narcotics Control Act of 1956 – pardoned all, in effect overturning much of the law passed by Congress.

So? Tons of prezzies pardoned more than that.

FFS, Harrison died after only a month.

JFK was shot after less than 3 years. Most pardons come at the end of a term. Just imagine how many pardons JFK could have done had he had his full 8 years? And then RFK, who was the real force behind the pardons, would have continued for another 8 years. The war on drugs would have been eliminated.

Now you know why he was killed.

 

[green73]

Now you know why he was killed.

He was killed because he wanted peace.

 

[green73]

He was still a horrible statist.

 

[Galileo Galilei]

He was killed because he wanted peace.

That's another reason, he wanted peace in Vietnam, he wanted peace in the Drug War.

I thought I'd bring up the drug war pardons because no one seems to know about them.

 

[green73]

He once infamously said that all businessmen are sons of bitches.

That's the reason.

eta:
That and being general refusinik to the CIA/MIC. Maybe it included drugs. Not read up on that bit.

JFK also cuts taxes on businessmen.

What you do is more important than what you say.
