Great Presidents – where are they?
I have been thinking about our Presidents. It isn’t pretty.
The last 4 have been ….. at best mediocre – in my lifetime, only Ike strikes me as a true great – Reagan maybe, tho I am not sure how much was him and how much was his cabinet/advisors. I need to research him more, but I do know he at least espoused basic Adam Smith Economics – and it WORKED!
One man that I greatly respect, mentioned Nixon and his advancements in China. But holy cow – that was ALL Kissinger – Nixon just said ‘OK’ (as he did to many things – e.g. Watergate break-in).
JFK really did very little in his time (except Marilyn) – MAYBE would have been great in time, but the obvious ties to mafia, unions etc leaves me in doubt.
Before that you have to go a long way to find anyone that promoted the Constitution, free market, etc,.
It was not Lincoln. PLEASE don’t tell me about the Civil War and slavery – that was NOT what it was about – it was about the transfer of wealth from the South to the North – for GAWDS sake do some research. Slavery was the motivating factor to get the NORTH to fight – what the south Seceded for, was States Rights (remember we are a republic – NOT a Democracy).
After that – sheesh – I am lost.
I do know from research and study, that from Lincoln (at least) on we have been on a path of socialistic methods in our country, Obama is the pinnacle of that trend.
He IS at the high point of establishing socialistic/Marxist/communistic policies.
He said – “look at the people I surround myself with” – wow. At least 5 of his 36+ - ‘Special Advisors” are Tax cheats; one an avowed Communist; more then one is admitted socialist; one declares that the Gov’mt has the right to tell you haw many children to have (including mandatory sterilization and forced abortion); some admire people like Hugo Chavez, Che Guevara, Noriega, Castro, Lenin, and Marx.
Why on earth are people with these philosophies advising the President of the United States?
Please listen, I am NOT saying that Obama is bad and what was before is good – I am saying that this has been coming for over 100 years – he (Obama) is just the latest in the liars, cheats, and socialist reforming dip-sticks.
