Opinions are SUBJECTIVE. They can't be wrong.

They can't all be right.

Re: Your Opinion: The Worst United States President Ever

How is Nixon the worst President ever? Ill ask your reasoning. He wasnt a Democrat, he disliked the hippies and liberals who were ruining the country with their pot and acid music. He met the Beatles and Elvis and Willie Nelson but it is a known fact he preferred gospel music. He was forced into early retirement by liberals and the mainstream media. Sounds like an honorable guy to me. The FACT that he was exonerated and given a full pardon seems to be lost on you.

According to your way of thinking, the Axis won the war and now the world is under the Nazi and fascist dictatorship, ruled by the descendants of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

So, therefore when I say that it is my opinion that because homosexuals are pedophiles and sexual predators, they should all be pre-emptively castrated, you agree that my opinion cannot be wrong?

Finally, a liberal who makes sense!

Theoretically yes, and through our representative republic and popular sovereignty, if enough people shared your opinion, you could get all gay people castrated. Luckily, hardly anyone shares your opinion.

Which is exactly why most people will be condemned to an eternity in hellfire. God is a killer. Jesus will return as a warrior. Look at the Book of Revelations and you'll find out that Jesus is going to come back as a killer. And don't you forget that. God will kill a third of the population, a third of the earth. Then He'll start on the mockers like you. Oh, I can't WAIT!

James Buchanan, probably. He allowed the Civil War to break loose without even trying to prevent it.

FDR was one of the best presidents we've ever had, don't know why 50% votes for him. Along with Teddy, as well.

The best president would have to be Abraham Lincoln.

WRONG!

Roosevelt:

-Created big government dependence, the cause of our current economic crisis.

-His "New Deal" went on for nearly ten years and the economy did not improve a bit. Only after WWII did the economy improve.

-He waited way too long to get America involved in stopping the Axis forces. He was still trading with Germany until Pearl Harbor!

-He created internment camps for American citizens of Japanese ancestry.

-He refused to allow boatloads of Jews trying to escape Europe to enter America.

The best president would have to be Abraham Lincoln.

WRONG!

http://www.davidlouisedelman.com/current-events/abraham-lincoln/

• He appointed generals and war planners so ineffectual they make Donald Rumsfeld look like frickin’ Sun Tzu.
• When he did finally find generals worth a damn (Grant and Sherman), he let those generals engage in a bloody campaign that directly targeted Confederate civilians (Sherman’s March to the Sea).
• He suspended the writ of habeas corpus, which allowed him to arrest thousands of U.S. citizens (including plenty of journalists) and hold them without cause or trial. When a U.S. Circuit Court overturned Lincoln on this, he simply ignored their ruling.
• He won re-election in 1864 through a variety of questionable tactics, including having Union troops redeployed to states to pressure and intimidate voters.
• He never had a particularly high opinion of blacks, starting from indifference to the plight of slavery and eventually concluding that freed slaves should be shipped back to Africa.
• He fought for quite a while to preserve slavery in border states and only turned to emancipating slaves as a last-ditch strategy for weakening the Confederacy. (As for Lincoln’s views on the morality of the subject, keep in mind that he was not a Christian; in fact, Lincoln wrote a small book explicitly rejecting the veracity of the Bible.)
• He kept border states like Maryland loyal to the Union by first promising not to end slavery there, then by hauling away political leaders without trial.
• He responded to a Sioux Indian rebellion (sparked by refusal of the United States to abide by signed treaties) by not only sending troops out to stomp the insurrection, but by abolishing the Indian reservation there, canceling all treaties with the Sioux, and putting a $25 bounty on their scalps.

Re: Your Opinion: The Worst United States President Ever

WRONG!

RIGHT! See what I did there?

Roosevelt:

-Created big government dependence, the cause of our current economic crisis.

Because the Gold Standard didn't already have a big government dependence. It was even more unstable then our current market.

-His "New Deal" went on for nearly ten years and the economy did not improve a bit. Only after WWII did the economy improve.

The economy actually started to improve 3 years after he made the new deal, at the break of WWII, and was only prevented from working earlier due to a Recession.

-He waited way too long to get America involved in stopping the Axis forces. He was still trading with Germany until Pearl Harbor!

He had a policy of non-involvement, as did most presidents before him.

-He created internment camps for American citizens of Japanese ancestry.

War hysteria has a lot to do with this.

-He refused to allow boatloads of Jews trying to escape Europe to enter America.

You don't like Jews anyways.

WRONG!

RIGHT! Again lol.

He appointed generals and war planners so ineffectual they make Donald Rumsfeld look like frickin’ Sun Tzu.

This makes him a bad president?

When he did finally find generals worth a damn (Grant and Sherman), he let those generals engage in a bloody campaign that directly targeted Confederate civilians (Sherman’s March to the Sea).

They deserved it. They were told it was illegal if they attempted to leave the union, and they refused to listen.

He suspended the writ of habeas corpus, which allowed him to arrest thousands of U.S. citizens (including plenty of journalists) and hold them without cause or trial. When a U.S. Circuit Court overturned Lincoln on this, he simply ignored their ruling.

We needed a strong president, and that's what he was. He didn't have time for trial to be caught up in court, especially during wartime.

He won re-election in 1864 through a variety of questionable tactics, including having Union troops redeployed to states to pressure and intimidate voters.

Actually, the southern states couldn't vote during his reelection campaign, or until after reconstruction.

He never had a particularly high opinion of blacks, starting from indifference to the plight of slavery and eventually concluding that freed slaves should be shipped back to Africa.

No, he didn't. He wasn't necessarily a racist, but had connotations of such.. as did most people during that era.

He fought for quite a while to preserve slavery in border states and only turned to emancipating slaves as a last-ditch strategy for weakening the Confederacy. (As for Lincoln’s views on the morality of the subject, keep in mind that he was not a Christian; in fact, Lincoln wrote a small book explicitly rejecting the veracity of the Bible.)

During wartime, you have to make sacrifices. Had a border state left, the north and south could easily be split right now.

He kept border states like Maryland loyal to the Union by first promising not to end slavery there, then by hauling away political leaders without trial.

Your point?

He responded to a Sioux Indian rebellion (sparked by refusal of the United States to abide by signed treaties) by not only sending troops out to stomp the insurrection, but by abolishing the Indian reservation there, canceling all treaties with the Sioux, and putting a $25 bounty on their scalps.

I actually have a history book right beside me, "The American Pageant, Twelfth Edition".

If you read your Wikipedia page closer, you would notice Lincoln didn't support nor instate this $25 per scalp rule. Also, if you want to talk about Indians, maybe you should look a little back into your history at (although another one of our greatest presidents) Andrew Jackson, one of the first members of the GOP.

Well, perhaps you should try reading that history book instead of using it as a coaster, because Jackson was a Dumbocrap.
