I don't understand how you can put Hoover at 3rd when he contributed to the Great Depression.

It only became "THE GREAT DEPRESSION" under FDR.

Lincoln = tyrant

Recently, Reagan and JFK. Wish I could say Bobby Kennedy too, but he got shot before making it to office. Lincoln sort of makes this list too, although he was not my favorite president, he was still a decent if flawed man. Sucks to have integrity. God help us.

Matthew 10:16 I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

Lincoln? come on -- he's the greatest tyrant of all the presidents, even greater than Bush as far as we can tell right now. no true freedom lover would even think about Lincoln for this category. only those that believe the propagenda of the MSM/PTB

Maybe this presentation by Lawrence Reed (president of FEE) on Cleveland will help you out.

President Ronald Paul of texas.

 

[paulpwns]

Haha yep, did more research.... Jackson was a man of the people, brought the national debt down to zero, and stood up to the national bank.

Unless those people were the hundreds of thousands of natives that he slaughtered.

 

[Kevin_Kennedy]

William Henry Harrison probably did the least amount of damage, so I'll go with him.

Same here.

 

[specsaregood]

I'm going to have to go with the only president to ever pay off the national debt. What he did with the indians was shitty, but I'll still give him the edge with the no debt aspect.

 

[BarryDonegan]

calvin fricken coolidge.

 

[RedStripe]

William Henry Harrison, no question.

 

[ClayTrainor]

Well i'im still learning lots about the founding fathers, and am fairly new to the material but so far Washington is my favorite president, although Jefferson and Franklin are my favorite founding fathers

 

[werdd]

Unless those people were the hundreds of thousands of natives that he slaughtered.

That is how they marginalize jackson in history. They forget why he killed the national bank.

Im sort of a trail of tears revisionist for this reason.

Coming from somebody with significant indian ancestory

Not my favorite, but Van Buren doesn't get enought credit. He stood up to the central banks hardcore. He was president during the paninc of 1837. Hard time to be president, but, as far as I know, remained true to economic liberty. Called for a treasury that was not connected to state institutions, followed in the footsteps of Jackson. In fact he was one of Jackson's closest advisors, I believe.

I know he had his faults, but they all do. As I said, he's not my fav, but he does deserve some credit for his opposition to the the banks and big-government.

My greatest respect goes to: Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Coolidge, and Kennedy (in that order).

My greatest respect goes to: Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Coolidge, and Kennedy (in that order).

+1, don't forget Harrison.

 

[ClayTrainor]

I mean this with all sincerity, Ron Paul would be best president in history.


I believe he understands the constitution as well, or better than some of our founders, like Hamilton for example.

 

[nbruno322]

Favorite: Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson (both shut down central banks in the US)

Worst: Woodrow Wilson who gave us:
-The Federal Reserve System
-The Federal Income Tax
- The notion that it was a duty to "spread democracy"
-The seeds of globalism in American policy
-Unnecessary US entry into WWI


Though Lincoln, FDR, the Bushes, and Clinton sure give him a run for the worst.

Washington is number 1.

I don't know how some of you even mention Lincoln. Lincoln is #1 on my worst Presidents list.

Lets see what good old Honest Abe did. My buddy wrote a note on facebook about this very subject. He came up with the following list.

· Instigated the South to secede by having economic policies that would benefit the North and the expense of the South

· After the South seceded, he refused to remove troops from Union forts in the South, which started the Civil War

· Killed more Americans than any other President

· Waged all out war on civilians, praising Sherman for his ruthless rampage through the South in which whole towns were destroyed including ever man, woman (those that weren’t raped that is), and child

· He raised tariffs, which were paid for primarily by the South, and used the money to give corporate welfare to the North

· He created a central bank to print money to pay for his war on the South, which caused inflation to rise, and hurt the economy

· He started a national draft for the first time in history, which led to riots and the imprisonment of thousands of war resisters and pacifists

· He ended even the concept of the “government by consent” by using force to make the South be ruled by the North

· Imprisoned and deported political opponents including a Congressman

· Was a racist, and did not free a single slave during his time in office

· Essentially used the army to secure the 1964 election, which he would’ve otherwise lost

· Has caused the public schooling system in this country to attempt to justify his murder, destruction, and mayhem ultimately contributing to a nationwide lack of respect for human life

· Had several thousand blacks deported

Since you did not specify that it had to be a United States President than I am going to go with Jefferson Davis.
