Some More Evil Presidents to Cancel?

I wish to preface my post by expressing my vehement opposition to the destruction or removal any presidential statues, monuments, or portraits. My intention is to illustrate the foolish rhetoric, and hypocrisy behind this disturbing trend.

The four presidents I’ve chosen to “pick on”, were of course, democrats. Like all men, these presidents were imperfect human beings, and made many mistakes during their political careers. They also did some great things, but I’m not here to give them accolades. I’m here to make the argument as to how they were “evil” men, and should be wiped from our nation’s history.

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Supported the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII from March, 1942 until March, 1946.






Harry Truman
Authorized the use of atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing hundreds of thousands. There has long been a debate on the necessity of using these weapons of mass destruction as the Japanese were virtually defeated prior to the atomic attacks. The Japanese Imperial Navy and Air Force were all but destroyed. Their ability to wage war was nearing its end. A blockade of the Japanese mainland, and the continued conventional bombing of their infrastructure and military installations would have likely caused their capitulation by the end of September, 1945. Many believe that Truman’s decision to use atomic weapons on the Japanese had more to due with keeping the Soviet Union out of Japan, and as a demonstration of America’s might to Stalin.




John F. Kennedy
Supported efforts to overthrow Cuban, communist revolutionary, Fidel Castro, a favorite of leftists.



J.F.K also began the escalation of America’s involvement in the Vietnam conflict. During his presidency, he increased the previous administration’s one thousand military advisers to over sixteen thousand, some of whom began engaging in clandestine combat operations. During the height of America’s evolvement in Vietnam, over one million Vietnamese (north and south) perished, and let us not forget the fifty-eight thousand American’s including over seven thousand American blacks who also perished.




Lyndon Johnson
Greatly accelerated America’s military involvement in Vietnam by increasing the number of troops from sixteen thousand to over one half million before the end of his term.
