I really think it is important with Bush, Palin and others that it is important for conservatives to defend them even when they find them less than perfect. Liberals are epistemologically poisoning our society. They control what is “true”
Until we are willing to ‘get in their faces’ about our preference for limited government and genuine patriotism we will find ourselves victimized by the 1/3 of the public that simply follows a mediated lead.
I knew what you meant because I think I understand where your heart is on these matters.
I have always admired that about you.
Bill Clinton’s legacy didn’t last too long.
Johnson? Heck, Lincoln destroyed and overthrew the Constitution. Hussein and Baines were his legitimate children.
Thank you very much :)
Got my own ranking, starting from the worst”
Abraham Lincoln; for tearing the country apart, and being responsible for the deaths of more men than were killed in all other U.S. wars put together.
Next worst: nobody else even comes close/
Yes, but he was a Miami Ohio grad.
Nope. That was William Henry Harrison.
Which tells you how stupid are the so called Historians who made this rating.
You are right but still the rating is idiotic.
Who really gives two craps about this? Such exercises can only be classified as mental masturbation by people who have nothing more important to do with their time.
Some vastly underrated:
James K. Polk, Grover Cleveland, Calvin Coolidge
All better than JFK in my opinion
That is all it ever was. Johnson, Wilson, and Roosevelt; three of the biggest socialists of the past century are all near the top.
#4: Many outstanding accomplishments, marred by his metamorphosis into a Bull-Progressive-RINO-Moose.
#5: Lost China, failed to prosecute Soviet spies in his Administration, didn't win in Korea, fired MacArthur.
Yeah, the libs still love them.
LBJ, a one-term failure, ahead of Reagan, Polk, Jackson and Monroe?! This list is a scam.
If they did this one month after Harry Truman left office, he’d be dead last.
Yes he has. But where do we start?
He's decimated the ranks of a Republican Party that should have been poised to bury the Donkeys after their decisive 2004 victory; He betrayed the GOP's platform of "smaller government and fiscal responsibility"; He left the Mexican border W-I-D-E open, enabling an Illegal Invasion to swarm the United States of America; He had border patrol agents arrested for defending that border from drug-dealers...
Dubya campaigned for RINO Senator Arlen Specter in 2004 instead of conservative Pat Toomey; He admitted the "evidence" and reasons for the Iraq War and ousting Saddam Hussein were BS; He lied to the American public during his campaign, maintaining that "America was NOT about "Nation Building," when it became so...
Instead of VETOing CRA, he approved this sham $440 billion mortgage giveaway to deadbeats back in 2002; He supported the $700 billion bail-out of Wall St....
Worst of all, Dubya Bush's dopey, ill-advised NWO/Gobalist-First policies ushered in the Marxist, Racist, punk-@ss Rat, Barry Soetoro-0bama and Democrat blitzkrieg of BOTH Houses, leaving the GOP impotent to stop ANY liberal "Hope" and "Change" the Democrats have ever fantasized about...And an America that may never recover.
In short George W. Bush was the RINO-of-RINOs, a fake conservative, and disaster for conservatives and America.
George W. Bush??:
WORST.
PRESIDENT.
EVER.
That would STILL rate him light years ahead of George W. Trainwreck.
