RockyMarcianofan00 11-03-2006, 10:02 PM Washington, Lincoln and FDR were clearly the top 3. I agree with this.... I like George Bush but I wouldn't call him the greatest president ever nor does he compare to the three Presidents above...

Mr. Ryan 12-03-2006, 11:10 AM Here's my list; George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Eisenhower, Both Roosevelts, Lincoln, JFK, Ronald Reagan in a way, Lyndon B. johnson, Bill Clinton and maybe Nixon. Johnson? Johnson was horrible, really. My favorite line from Jack Newfield was when he asked Nixon, "So, when did they let you out of the can?" Here's my list: Lincoln JFK FDR Eisenhower Truman Clinton Rudyo 12-03-2006, 11:19 AM Bush makes kids cry. <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/5109/zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzva3.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a> He also made that guy in the front cry. :owned: K-DOGG 12-03-2006, 11:22 AM Here's my list; George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Eisenhower, Both Roosevelts, Lincoln, JFK, Ronald Reagan in a way, Lyndon B. johnson, Bill Clinton and maybe Nixon. I honestly have to agree with that list; but you forgot Thomas Jefferson. The only two I'd have a real problem with are Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon; but as much as I'm not fond of either I have to give props to Johnson for advancing the Civil Rights movement and props to Nixon for opening the door to China. Welter_Skelter 12-03-2006, 11:26 AM The best US Presidents eh? well the Presidents of the United States of America were pretty cool..(figure it out) also Harrison Ford, Kevin Kline and Bill Pullman had decent and exciting terms.. K-DOGG 12-03-2006, 11:41 AM If I were to rank them: 1. Franklin D. Roosevelt 2. Thomas Jefferson 3. Teddy Roosevelt 4. Abraham Lincoln....seeing the country through a civil war guarantee's top-5 worthiness. 5. George Washington....might deserve higher ranking due to newness of nation. 6. Woodrow Wilson.....an underated visionary 7. Ronald Reagan......lousy with domestic econonic policy; but he had a mess to clean up, and foreign policies contributed to collapse of the Soviet Union. 8. Andrew Jackson....lousy policy concerning Native Americans..downright shameful, to be honest; but he did do more to give power to the common man and broke up the Federal Bank System, if I'm not mistaken, which resulted in a more stable economy. 9. John F. Kennedy....lousy in the sense of getting us involved in Vietnam; but did stand up to the Soviet Union and despite the Bay of Pigs, did stand fast and resolve the Cuban Missle Crisis. 10. Jame K. Polk.....did wrongfully invade Mexico; but also succesfully added to the geographic size of the country in doing so....could be bad, I suppose; but I'm looking at it in retrospect from a U.S. citizen's point of view.

Gotta love Wilson, good k bro. K-DOGG 12-03-2006, 11:51 AM Gotta love Wilson, good k bro. Yeah, damn shame the country didn't jump on board with his "League of Nations" idea....that and I really wish he'd stood up for Germany more at the signing of the Treaty of Versile (sp). If the allies had treated Germany less harshly, Hitler might never have rose to power and WWII could have been avoided. ...but, hindsight's always 20/20. Mr. Ryan 12-03-2006, 11:55 AM Yeah, damn shame the country didn't jump on board with his "League of Nations" idea....that and I really wish he'd stood up for Germany more at the signing of the Treaty of Versile (sp). If the allies had treated Germany less harshly, Hitler might never have rose to power and WWII could have been avoided. ...but, hindsight's always 20/20. The League of Nations is now manifest in the UN, and organizations with external parties is pointlessly ineffective. K-DOGG 12-03-2006, 11:59 AM The League of Nations is now manifest in the UN, and organizations with external parties is pointlessly ineffective. Well, technically, no. The UN is based upon the idea of the League of Nations; but the League collapsed because the U.S. never joined it. Mr. Ryan 12-03-2006, 12:00 PM Well, technically, no. The UN is based upon the idea of the League of Nations; but the League collapsed because the U.S. never joined it. In effect, the UN is the US's League of Nations? K-DOGG 12-03-2006, 12:05 PM In effect, the UN is the US's League of Nations? Honestly, I'd have to research for specific differences; but I don't believe any nation had "veto power" under the original League. I'm sure there were several other differences; but it's been 15 years since I've studied history, so forgive me. :) Mr. Ryan 12-03-2006, 12:06 PM Honestly, I'd have to research for specific differences; but I don't believe any nation had "veto power" under the original League. I'm sure there were several other differences; but it's been 15 years since I've studied history, so forgive me. :) Yo, what song did Lacy enter to last night? eazy_mas 12-03-2006, 12:10 PM bush...hes the only president in the world still practice imperialism in these modern times. well all of them did but some made it publicly and some knew how to hide his stuff. for me most USA presdient have the agenda lead not by the people but busniess and big coporation. but if i had to choose one it going to be Nixion K-DOGG 12-03-2006, 12:13 PM Yo, what song did Lacy enter to last night? Didn't catch it, honestly. I had to get up real early this morning for work, so I was in bed pretty early. Mr. Ryan 12-03-2006, 12:15 PM Didn't catch it, honestly. I had to get up real early this morning for work, so I was in bed pretty early. ****ing ****, man! You look like Steve from Jerry Springer, BTW. K-DOGG 12-03-2006, 12:25 PM ****ing ****, man! You look like Steve from Jerry Springer, BTW. Yeah; but a friend of mine was supposed to tape it. Hopefully, I'll get to watch it when I get off work. BTW...can't believe you just admitted to watching Springer. ;) Mr. Ryan 12-03-2006, 12:36 PM Yeah; but a friend of mine was supposed to tape it. Hopefully, I'll get to watch it when I get off work. BTW...can't believe you just admitted to watching Springer. ;) So ****ing what, I'm not some borgeois maricon. BuddyChacon 12-03-2006, 12:48 PM Presidential scholars, both liberal and conservative, rank Richard Nixon near the bottom of the list because of the scandals, but most agree that he presents a special problem because his foreign policy and domestic policy successes stand in dramatic contradiction to the corruption of his top aides and Nixon himself. Political scientist Walter Dean Burnham noted the "dichotomous or schizoid profiles. On some very important dimensions both Wilson and L.B. Johnson were outright failures in my view; while on others they rank very high indeed. Similarly with Nixon." Historian Alan Brinkley said: "There are presidents who could be considered both failures and great or near great (for example, Wilson, Johnson, Nixon)." James MacGregor Burns observed of Nixon, "How can one evaluate such an idiosyncratic president, so brilliant and so morally lacking?"[21 Richard Nixon came from humble beginnings and was the true American Dream. He resented the silver spoon Types like the Kennedys and the Bush Families and was a very complex individual. Not the best but he is my favorite to read about. He was an overachiever who made it to the top. He never fit in with the elitist ilk and was hurt because of this. K-DOGG 12-03-2006, 12:49 PM So ****ing what, I'm not some borgeois maricon. "borgeois maricon"? :confused: What the hell is that?! Mr. Ryan 12-03-2006, 12:53 PM "borgeois maricon"? :confused: What the hell is that?! bourgeious is like french for rich, and a maricon is a homosexual in spanish. K-DOGG 12-03-2006, 01:10 PM bourgeious is like french for rich, and a maricon is a homosexual in spanish. Oh, well I'm glad to hear your not a rich homosexual...though, that would be better than being a poor homosexual. :D Mr. Ryan 12-03-2006, 01:13 PM Oh, well I'm glad to hear your not a rich homosexual...though, that would be better than being a poor homosexual. :D I know, then atleast I could dress nice :( eazy_mas 12-03-2006, 01:19 PM Nixion did many things like open door and conversation with the USSr and china as well as he stopped the vietam war and no one gave him credit for that. but another thing his team where not good and where working behind his back and making some discisions where he never took part. K-DOGG 12-04-2006, 02:05 PM I know, then atleast I could dress nice :( Dude, if that's you in your pix, you've got style. You ain't doin' so bad me thinks. K-DOGG 12-04-2006, 02:06 PM Nixion did many things like open door and conversation with the USSr and china as well as he stopped the vietam war and no one gave him credit for that. but another thing his team where not good and where working behind his back and making some discisions where he never took part. No, he took part. The only difference between Nixon and just about every other president is he got caught. Read BuddyChacon's post on Slick Dick...he's pretty spot-on. |
