FDR is tenth..... not too bad.
BUT LINCOLN IN SECOND?
The man who instituted martial law to force the south to unsecede from the union...
The man who forced the union back together, in the meanwhile earning TONS more power for central government.
The man who "freed" the slaves, when in actuality what he did was make EVERYONE a slave.
This man was rated second best american......

                                                                                Well people might laugh but that is ok but just going by that list I would put Old Ben number 1, Oprah number 2 and Elvis number 3 and MLK number 4 and that would be it.. None of the presidents would be on that list as far as I am concerened.                     FDR would be number one on my list as the worst American, with Lincoln and Wilson probally tieing for number 2 with one of the presidents being on the list of worst 45( or what ever the number is now) and no other person being on that list.                                                                              The Top ten best American number one that is easy My Dad and Mom tie for that spot, Lysander Spooner number 2, the Founders and main activist for the Free State Project( now that could change) plus Clay Conrad who is director of the Fully Informed Jury Association, plus Craig Bolton an Arizona Attorney with a PHD in Economics and taught at one of the Universitys, and who has been active in free market activism since the Goldwater years, would probally be in that top 10. expand that to the top 20 and I would probally include Mises, Hayek, Karl Hess, and Ayn Rand, if Rand, Mises and Hayek were American citizens.                                                                              I would put George Washington Carver above Martin Luther King on an expaneded Greatest American List but MLK would be on that list. |

Yea, Reagan was pure evil. One of his first act in office was breaking an airline worker's strike. He expanded military spending to unprecedented levels, and has probably the worst record of covert paramilitary operations of any president in history. |

After thinking it over I probally wrote off the top of my head about all of the presidents being the worst Americans. Using the standard on who contributed to the most deaths of Americans and Msery I would probally include a few Stalinist over some of the presidents. |

Now that you mention it, that's why he's my number one... anybody Green hates has to be great. Esp. the union busting, that was fantastic, no more socialist thugs holding the people hostage. Saving the people of Nicaragua from the commies, saving Afghanistan from the commies, saving eastern europe from the commies, destroying the USSR. I would say the only black marks on his record for me are that he let Nancy see that astrologer and that he let Sarah Brady cart Jim 'the body' Brady everywhere as a rolling anti-gun exhibit. |

Actually, Green, would hate to admit this, but much of that deregulation and union busting etc. was started by Carter.
I've read Rothbard's essay's about Reagon. And I've decided that I agree with them.
Reagon's reign was about nothing more then realizing that parasites need a healthy host to live on, so some marginal tax cuts were introduced "(very marginal. The increases in deficite spending and inflation more then made up for them.) and moderate deregulation.
And frankly, his interference abroad wasn't great either.
Pope John Paul II had more to do with the Berlin Wall coming down then Reagon. I know Reagon likes to take credit. But communism failed on it's own -- because it's an unworkable system.
Of those top 5, I'd but Mr Franklin top too.
I think Grover Cleveland should be somewhere on that list. In my mind he's actually the best president this country ever had.
In fact, I'd say he's the only politician that should be on that list. The great entraprenures, like Carnagie, Rockefeller, THe guy behind SpaceShip One. The Inventors, the Investors, etc.
Those are the great americans.
I do like Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine too though.
