re: Who are your 10 favorite Presidents of all time?

Reagan is the stupidest answer you can give the guy was the usual repubican controlled opposition pacifier in the mouth

No Obama in here yet, shocking

That’s a great president in my book. Can’t do much damage that way

How did Harrison make your list? He was only president for 30 days and died.

That was William Henry Harrison.

Benjamin was his grandson. One term between Cleveland administrations.

First off, great handle

Second, gonna steal your list but shake up the order:

1). Washington
2). Adams
3). Madison

Reasoning: All three men were needed to get the fledgling USA off the ground and running in a decently stable manner. If any of these men had been killed or otherwise succumbed to death, I am not sure we maintain the same legacy in our leaders. Without the leadership, Constitutional contributions, and political philosophy of the three of them, I doubt America is what it is as a whole today (shady swamp rats aside).

Madison has a legit case for the #2 spot for being a restless workhorse in the founding of our nation. Wrote the Bill of Rights, called the Second Continental Congress, outlined the 2nd Amendment as a way to prevent the need for a standing federal military force... The man was absolutely astounding as a politician/diplomat.

4). Jefferson
5). Jackson
6). Monroe

Reasoning: Jefferson was a major contributor to the Declaration, as you pointed out. Massive philosophical influence and guiding hand to the birth of our nation. Jackson, for all the reasons you listed as well as him being an absolute man's man, being strict with his policies and views while protecting the nation from internal and external dangers. Monroe for the Louisiana Purchase, Manifest Destiny policy, and the addition of Florida and Missouri while normalizing relations with France and working to upend Spanish colonization in the continental US as well as parts of Latin America and South America.

7). FDR
8). Teddy Roosevelt
9). JFK

Reasoning: FDR should be a no-brainer on this list. Three terms, led us through WWII, and built stronger relations with the French, British, and several other nations (frame-working the United Nations). Teddy for his commitment to world peace in the League of Nations, standing up to the "unholy alliance between businesses and politics (boy we could learn a thing or two from him), and his work to build up a nation of patriotic youth for the future. JFK is an easy one. Really don't have to go into detail there.

10). Eisenhower

Reasoning: Forced an end to segregation in schools, created NASA, implemented the Interstate Highway System for both interstate commerce and potential warfighting purposes. Condemned foreign nations for their unjust participations in invasions of nations such as Egypt by the Israelis and allied world powers, and engaged in diplomacy to see them withdraw from such invasions. Also successfully engaged in diplomacy with a tough cookie in Nikita Kruschev.



Could have a few others in there. I heavily favored American governmental philosophy in my list. Probably could move a few around, but this is a harder task than it seems.

You’re half right. And I was wrong. I was thinking about William Henry Harrison and typed Benjamin for some reason. William Henry Harrison was the 9th President and was only in office a few weeks before he died. Benjamin was his grandson and the 23rd President.

But, yes, I included him in my list. Remember, it’s a list of my favorite Presidents, not a list of who I’d rank as the best Presidents.

I’m a big fan and student of American history (dual undergrad degrees in English and History) and have always been particularly fascinated by and interested in the period from the Revolution through Westward Expansion and have enjoyed studying and reading about (among many others) the lives of people like George Washington, Robert Rogers, British General John Andre, Daniel Boone, Andrew Jackson, Lewis and Clark, William Weatherford (“Red Eagle”), Tecumseh, and William Henry Harrison who defeated Tecumseh’s confederacy.

1. Ronald Wilson Regan
2. Donald John Trump
3. Harry S. Truman
4. Richard Nixon
5. George Washington
6. Abraham Lincoln

They’re not mistakes if he keeps doing the same shite over and over and over it’s who he is

1. Washington - freed us from tyranny
2. JFK - tried to free us from tyranny
3. Trump - will free us from tyranny
4. Teddy - just an incredibly inspirational human being

And how many presidents have served in your lifetime?

Reagan - neutral
Bush Sr - warmongering globalist piece of shite
Clinton - better in hindsight
Bush Jr - warmongering globalist piece of shite
Obama - warmongering globalist piece of shite / Traitor
Trump - wonderful
Biden - warmongering globalist piece of shite / Traitor
Trump - transcendent
