Best President

[Scrapmo]

I didnt see a Rosevelt or Wilson up there? What gives? /sarc

 

[TaftFan]

Where are MVB and Tyler?

 

[dillo]

He was a bad ass. Also the first president to face an assassination attempt. The assailants gun cocked and Jackson beat him with his cane.

Jackson tends to drop far on historical list because of the trail of tears episode, however

The assassin actually had 2 guns misfire back to back

Andrew Jacksons parrot had to be removed from his funeral because of it swearing repeatedly in the church

I drop him because of the nullification crisis as well.

Why is McKinley lower than Reagan

or JFK for that matter

I just love the story of the assassination and a tall Jackson beating him with a cane. He was getting off a ferry or something with his crew. Bad ass.

Andrew Jackson was something else. I don't know how much to attribute to legend or truth but as tales go he took a ball to the chest and leveled the man he dueled.

My favorite president and truth be told he is insulted on the fiat twenty.

Trail of tears was despicable though.

Reminds me of me. Actually paid the national debt. (I know....) I don't like a lot about his presidency but I still salute him.

I'm a special sort of asshole.

 

[kcchiefs6465]

And him drinking and smoking and beating his wanted to be assassin makes me like him more.

Lead ball in his chest, a man to his dying day.

Trail of Tears was despicable.

*would have been a much easier choice if Ron Paul were on that list*

No silly, the champion against slavery, JQ Adams.


I don't appreciate you referring to the Shawnee as savages. I also don't think the Oneida (who were on our side) would take kindly either, as by implication all of the tribes at that time were savages.

and keep in mind, I take Ayn Rand's approach to this issue.

Ayn Rand was a true savage. Her philosophy is essentially Satanism minus the magic and ritual. She looked down her nose at other people, while her own heart was as black as coal.

Savages aren't people; they're savages.

Thank you for my reprieve .

Wilson makes my top four worst easily.

 

[oyarde]

Well , most of the good ones are on the list , Coolidge, Cleveland and the last guy who spent less than what came in , ( Ike) . I may have to take Coolidge as a more modern example of what the Fed role of govt ought to be closer to ........

Your list confuses the hell out of me. Buchanan was our worst President and he's not even in your bottom 5! Dwight Eisenhower should be higher.

Ayn Rand was a true savage. Her philosophy is essentially Satanism minus the magic and ritual. She looked down her nose at other people, while her own heart was as black as coal.

On behalf of Ayn Rand and Satanism, what rock did you just come out from under? Seriously? Satanism?

Go read what Ayn Rand wrote and then learn about Satanism. Satanists are good people.

I only have two options.

1.) Jefferson Davis - First President of my occupied homeland

2.) Ron Paul - The man I currently recognize as MY President.

I see neither so I did not vote.

Jefferson Davis? Isn't his modern-day ideological descendants people like Rick Santorum?

He was not perfect and would not be like Ron but he did a fine job with very little to work with and I have studied his life extensively and have a great admiration for him.
