The Greatest President in 100 Years

[Bfgrn]

Wilson is the asshole who put us under Banker Control. Is that why you listed him?

Laid the groundwork for the US to become a modern democracy and world power

- Federal Income tax
- Federal Reserve system
- Federal Trade Commission
- Child Labor Laws
- 8 hour day/ 40 hr workweek
- Led us in WWI and proposed the League of Nations
- Nobel Prize winner

Wilson ran for President saying he would do everything he could to keep the US out of the War. Then he did a 180 almost immediately after he was elected.

Immediately regretted having signed the Federal Reserve Act:

I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.
~ Woodrow Wilson

Algore and Obama are proof that the Nobel Peace Prize is a sham.

Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan

Misattributed

I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world: no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.

• Attributed in Shadow Kings (2005) by Mark Hill, p. 91; This and similar remarks are presented on the internet and elsewhere as an expression of regret for creating the Federal Reserve. The quotation appears to be fabricated from out-of-context remarks Wilson made on separate occasions and two leading sentences that have no clear source:

• I can tell you categorically that this is not a statement of regret for having created the Federal Reserve. Wilson never had any regrets for having done that. It was an accomplishment in which he took great pride. - John M. Cooper, professor of history and author of several books on Wilson

 

[NoNukes]

A great underappreciated actor

Bedtime for Bonzo is a classic. That role clinched the Presidency for him.

 

[NoNukes]

Treason is noble compared to what your side stands for.

 

[NoNukes]

Reagan was as good a President as he was an actor.

 

[rightwinger]

As time goes by, the accomplishments and impact of the Reagan Presidency are fading. The lasting impact of his decisions have had a negative affect on our society

- Fall of Communism: The attempt to paint Reagan as the reason for the fall of the USSR is discredited. The USSR was a house of cards even before Reagan became president. Where Reagan deserves credit is for tactfully accepting the fall and not trying to exploit the crumbling USSR. Doing so could have led to a war from Soviet hardliners

- The Economy: Reagan was able to reverse an economy in recession. His main tools were government debt and growing the defense industry. His steep tax cuts were ill-advised and led to an escalating debt problem. His tax and regulatory changes led to a stagnation of the middle class and redistribution of wealth upward. This will be Reagans legacy

 

[PoliticalChic]

Treason is noble compared to what your side stands for.

Your posts are becoming more and more outlandish.

I'm beginning to fear for your health.

Or....you may not understand the term 'treason.'

Let me help:

trea·son
/ˈtrēzən/
Noun
The crime of betraying one's country, esp. by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.
The action of betraying someone or something.
Synonyms
treachery - betrayal - perfidy - disloyalty - sellout

Republicans Can't Accept the Truth About Reagan, a US Traitor
republicans Can't Accept the Truth About reagan, a US Traitor - YouTube

How Reaganomics Destroyed The Middle Class...And Maybe America - YouTube

One can always tell what Leftists are most sensitive about in their makeup.....they accuse other of the iniquity.

It's true...isn't it.

The Left reeks of treason.

And that's why they pretend that the Republicans are the 'Red States'....when the history of the Left is clearly associated with Reds.

why did the republicans choose the color red?

I'm always glad to help you to understand:

Remember when the 'red states' were Democrat, 'cause, well, Democrats/Liberals were so closely identified with communists, reds, socialists....

Then the control of the media really paid off for your Lefties....and now the obfuscation is complete.


1. "It's beginning to look like a suburban swimming pool,'' the television anchor David Brinkley noted on election night 1980, as hundreds of Republican-blue light bulbs illuminated NBC's studio map, signaling a landslide victory for Ronald Regan over the Democratic incumbent Jimmy Carter. Other staffers, Time magazine wrote, called it ''Lake Reagan.''

Mr. Carter's bulbs were red."

Man, I bet that really scared you guys....the thought that folks might know the reality....


2. "The choice of colors in this divide is counter-intuitive to many international observers, as throughout the world, red is commonly the designated color for parties representing labor, socialist, and/or liberal interests [5] [6], which in the United States would be more closely correlated with the Democratic Party. Similarly, blue is used in these countries to depict conservative parties which in the case of the United States would be a color more suitable for the Republicans. For example, in Canada party colors are deeply ingrained and historic and have been unchanged during the Twentieth Century. Red states and blue states - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



3. How did CNN get away with changing the party affiliation colors Democrats blue and Republicans red?
'I have a video tape of the 1988 election returns of CNN showing democrats as red (as they always had been) and republicans blue Then in 1992 they reversed it and evryone just blindly followed it and now its accepted as having always been that way!!!' 37 Critical Items

1. "In spite of all the evidence that points to the free market as the most efficient system, we continue down a road that is bearing out the prophecy of De Tocqueville, ...if we weren't constantly on guard, we would find ourselves covered by a network of regulations controlling every activity. [Tocqueville] said if that came to pass we would one day find ourselves a nation of timid animals with government the shepherd.

It all comes down to this basic premise: if you lose your economic freedom, you lose your political freedom and in fact all freedom. Freedom is something that cannot be passed on genetically. It is never more than one generation away from extinction. Every generation has to learn how to protect and defend it. Once freedom is gone, it's gone for a long, long time. Already, too many of us, particularly those in business and industry, have chosen to switch rather than fight."
Ronald Reagan, 1978
Hillsdale College - Imprimis Issue



2. "The liberal press called upon Reagan to remove the tactical nuclear arsenal from Europe. Europeans fell easy prey to the false theory that a nuclear war between the Warsaw Pact and NATO in Europe would remain inside the continent. Freeze supporters here in the U.S. clamored that the strategic arsenal based inside America was more than enough to stop any attack in Germany.

The Hollywood establishment labeled Reagan a reckless "cowboy" who would press the nuclear button at the drop of a hat. The wide liberal criticism openly insulted Reagan as a senile fool who could carry the world into global nuclear war.

Reagan did not give in. Instead of caving to the political pressure, Reagan went against the polls, against the liberal media and against Hollywood's advice to disarm in the face of the Soviet threat. Reagan opted instead to match Moscow's firepower and up the ante. "

3."SO ON WHOM or what do we bestow the title of the "evil empire's" killer? Was it Mikhail Gorbachev himself who pulled down what Lenin and Stalin had built up? It is tempting to finger Gorbachev, but this would ascribe too much wisdom and foresight to a man who wanted merely to reform, but not to relinquish, the empire. At no point, however, did Gorbachev want to yield Moscow's pride of place as the number two superpower. And he was blissfully confident that the risks were tolerable: "There is no reason to fear the collapse or the end of socialism", Gorbachev assured Romanian leader Nicolae Ceausescu three weeks after the Berlin Wall had been breached and three weeks before the Romanian dictator was executed by his own people.

Reagan was made from far sterner stuff than was his Soviet counterpart. His genial grin and wise-cracking demeanor concealed a spine of steel when push came to shove. Yet at their next meeting in Reykjavik in 1986, where Gorbachev would not budge on the "Star Wars" question, Reagan was decisive and unforgiving. He recalls in An American Life how he stood up from the table to proclaim that the meeting was over. Then he turned to his Secretary of State: "Let's go, George. We're leaving." Like any good diplomat, Shultz was crushed by so much roughness, but Reagan was completely unfazed. Later on, he explained: "I went to Reykjavik determined that everything was negotiable except two things, our freedom and our future."

4. Ronald Reagan, though dismissed by Europeans as a second-rate actor and fondler of cue cards, possessed that magic faculty that separates run-of-the mill politicos from history-molding leaders. "I didn't understand", recalls Time's Joe Klein, "how truly monumental, and morally important, Reagan's anti-communism was until I visited the Soviet Union in 1987." He continues with a seemingly trivial vignette. Attending the Bolshoi Ballet, he was nudged by his minder: "'Ronald Reagan. Evil empire', he whispered with dramatic intensity and shot a glance toward his lap where he had hidden two enthusiastic thumbs up. 'Yes!'"

When an American president manages to pluck the soul strings of those who have been raised to fear and despise what he represents, he surely deserves the honorific 'great.'

Although historians are almost unanimously Lefties, you'll be disappointed to learn that the great Ronald Reagan has moved up on the list....even among the Left.

b. 'The late John Patrick Diggins, an unorthodox liberal who was a close friend of Arthur Schlesinger Jr.’s, argued in his 2007 book Ronald Reagan: Fate, Freedom, and the Making of History that Reagan deserves to be considered one of the four greatest American presidents, alongside Washington, Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt.'

Thank You Mr. President - 49 second video

Reagan and the press...

When President Reagan first took over the oval office, we would throw questions at President Reagan, and he would answer them.

Well, his three top aides were apoplectic. They didn’t know what was coming out of his mouth. They taught the president to say “this is not a press conference”, and they had him quite trained on that.

And one day we asked him what was happening, and he said to us: “I can’t answer that”. We said ‘why’?

“Because they won’t let me”, he pointed to Baker, Meese and Deaver standing behind, very grim.

“They won’t let me”…I said, ‘but you’re the President’…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The excuse cannot be used that Congress massively increased Reagan's budget proposals. On the contrary, there was never much difference between Reagan's and Congress's budgets, and despite propaganda to the contrary, Reagan never proposed a cut in the total budget."
Murray N. Rothbard - former Dean of the Austrian School, an economist, economic historian, and libertarian political philosopher

"The debt explosion has resulted not from big spending by the Democrats, but instead the Republican Party's embrace, about three decades ago, of the insidious doctrine that deficits don't matter if they result from tax cuts."
David Stockman - Director of the Office of Management and Budget for U.S. President Ronald Reagan.

So, your opinion is yours, and I'm sure your not alone notwithstanding the many surveys wherein the top five have always included FDR, TR and your favorite WW (of the last 100 years, of course.)

That aside, one of the great achievments of our remote and unkown ancestors was mesurement. Now measurement is only a form of description, but its advantage is it allows us to provide quantative descriptions in place of qualitive ones, as you have done.

Would you elaborate on the entire record of President Reagan which makes him the greatest of the last 100 years? Compare and contrast him to TR and FDR and make an argument that Reagan made history and not revised history made the legend of RR.

Reagan freed the Eastern Europeans from the horrific oppression of Soviet Communism, the very same countries FDR turned over control to one of history's 2 greatest mass murderers "Uncle" Joe Stalin

And if FDR's awful economic performance makes him "great", Reagan's economic performance makes him a God
