What Made America Great?

Quote from bugscoe:

Wake us up when a liberal isn't the person doing all the shooting.

Even Ichabod Crane won't wake up in time for that.

Quote from Scataphagos:

1. Constitutionally limited Federal Government.

2. An economy which was a "meritocracy".

America WAS great....

Who then are the "worst Presidents of all time"?

I offer, in chronological order... (do I have this chronology right?)

...

4. LBJ

5. Jimmy Carter

6. Odumbo.

Who really is the "worst of the Progressives"? Hard to say (I REALLY HATE Wilson and Odumbo, but difficult to quantify)...

===========
Dont forget in addition to constitutional limits;
traditional limits, like no supreme court building for many years,
they met part time-LOL
=============
Judeo-Christian foundation;
which did not include muslims/arabs...................................................

Not really a slam on muslims/arabs;
I like that Epyptian preacher Mike Youseff[spelling?]He is a Christian who studies the jewish-Christian Scriptures a lot Its a miracle he is still living, since he converted to Christianity

Many muslims do not believe the Koran;
which makes them likable/lovable rather easliy

Nixon
Little George Bush (And definitely the dumbest.)

Nixon got us out of Viet Nam. He's a good guy.

=========
PSr;
Saw an old political ad button;
President Nixon holding up the V for victory/2 fingers,
the punchline ''he kept our boys out -of Ireland!!''
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Quote from olias:
'liberals' and 'democrats' are on your side, buddy. They want to make sure your kids are educated and safe and all the rest. They just don't agree with you on how best to do that.

Feeding education is bankrupting this nation.

Quote from olias:
Your attitude and your rhetoric leads to things like the Arizona shooting.

Since prisons are mostly occupied by liberals, you need to worry about the liberals. You and the Muslims!

They sure are doing a pretty crappy job of it.

you're missing my point. We can disagree about the 'job they are doing' and 'what would be better' but I swear to God we're like a bunch of little kids...each of us pretending we have all the answers and anyone who disagrees is 'an idiot' or the 'enemy'.

How freakin hard is it to see just take a step back for a second....see a different perspective....and realize they are not the enemy or bad people (for the most part).

Don't you guys have friends and family that disagree politically? What, you can't hang out with them and treat them with respect because they they'd rather spend money on health care than education (for example)?

We can debate and fight tooth and nail, but at the end of the day we are on the same team. And the more we (you) continue to stoop to these childish levels the less productive those debates will be.

I think democrats are more concerned with their teachers unions than with education. Did you see how fast they got rid of the voucher system that parents praised because the unions were against it. So, don't tell me we all have the same end in mind.

Quote from pspr:

I'm sure the liberals here will have a much different list. I think history will put Obama near the top. We'll see what crap he comes up with in the next two years to move up or down the list.

Odumbo or W. Wilson would be my "worst #1", but it was a chronological list.
