Ike also fought off everyone in congress and his own afonatratipn to maintain a balanced budget and conservative fiscal policy and refused to get us involved in the Suez. Most underrated president of the 20th century.

Too broad a category. Favorite president? Writer? Artist? Composer? Scientist? Explorer? How can you compare them?

Best President: George Washington.

Best President We Never Had: Ron Paul.

Best Singer: Meat Loaf.

Eisenhower, who led the US to victory in World War II, who had the balls as president to round up and physically, deport, illegal aliens. We need that courage today!

Although Eisenhower had it easier. The country was behind him. The media might criticize, but dare not demonize him.

If Eisenhower were president today, I doubt he could round up and deport illegals. The Deep State, Big Media, Big Tech, and Antifa/BLM storm troops, wouldn't allow it.

In years past I probably would have had a more thoughtful answer, but now I’m trending toward the sons of bitches. Rank them as you will.

Andrew Jackson

Coonskin cage match: whoever wins, Dan’l Boone or Davy Crockett (probably Dan’l, but both have had their resumes enhanced).

Boss Tweed

“Ben Franklin”

Some would call him “the first American”.

You’ll definitely enjoy this:

You loathe Harry Truman?

Why? He saved millions of lives by ending WWII as he did.

It’s interesting to see how some people say they admire someone from history, and then another Freeper comes in and says they detest that person.

I wish we could do polls here , and see the rank ordering of who Freepers admire.
