Who are the idiots who voted for Reagan? You need to justify that. Seriously. What did he do again? Except make conservativism cool.

Like, were George Washington or FDR not American enough for you?

fdr was a commie lover. Plus he stole everyone's property and money, gold, etc. I am amazed how people think he was a good president. He wasn't. As for the best President, that may very well be John Hancock when he took over in 1776, even tho it was only a year. It helped him set up many of the things our Nation was founded on. Do a little research, and you will find what I mean. Next to Hancock, I would say George Washington.

I love John Hancock. I've always felt he should be named America's first president. I mean of course I love GW too, who doesn't.

I feel that too much credit is given to Reagan. It just seems too disingenuous.

as for FDR, communism wasn't as much a problem as Nazism. Just because he was socially liberal doesn't make him a communist. And just because he didn't go to war with Stalin doesn't make him a communist. His New Deal paved the way out of the Great Depression. He galvinized the country to arms in the 40s.

His cousin, Teddy was another great president.

Abraham Lincoln is the best in my opinion, followed by George Washington, Theordore Roosevelt, and Franklin Roosevelt.

Grover Cleveland. The last president who was known for honesty, was pro-Constitution, anti-imperialist, and not a power-luster.
