Who Was Our Manliest President? (Article and Poll to FREEP!)
Asylum ^ | 02/15/10 | Jeremy Taylor

Posted on 02/15/2010 2:11:56 PM PST by Recovering_Democrat

In many countries, President's Day is celebrated by throwing all living Presidents into a giant pit and rewarding the first one to emerge with the coveted title of "Greatest President Ever."

Actually, that's completely made up, but it would be kinda cool.

Anyway, in lieu of being able to offer a Commander in Chief death match, we would like to celebrate this holiday Monday by allowing you to exercise your democratic right to vote on which of our Presidents was the biggest badass.

Right now, the PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICAN Teddy Roosevelt is winning. I didn't feel like doing a "write in", so I voted for Andrew Jackson, perhaps the last Democrat president who had a pair.

Regardless, let's get John McLame's favorite President OUT OF THE RUNNING.

Indeed. Jackson was a butt kicker. You have to laud a president who nearly clubs his would-be assassin to death and has to be pulled from him by his aides :-)

ABSOLUTELY. For anyone familiar with the lives and times of our presidents, it's no contest.

Gotta be George Washington. The man was in danger more times than any other President.

Washington, Jackson, a coin toss. Both defiantly fit into the “American Bad Ass” category.

The category is for “manliest” President, not the President with the best policies.

Teddy Roosevelt led troops into battle. He hunted. He boxed when he was younger and later, as President, had mattresses put into the White House basement and had some Japanese instructors train Jujitsu with him. Pretty masculine guy.

When Andrew Jackson was inaugurated he threw open the White House and half-drunken crowds to to tramp through it and “visit” for a few days

Cannot agree as to Jackson. A great general, no doubt. An inspiration to the common man, yes.

But a real man has to be able to control his temper. A real man controls the manner in which he chooses to use violence, and does not let violence control him and succumb to emotions.
