Worst President of US

Franklin Roosevelt was the worst

-He made marijuana illegal
-Detained and seized property and assets from Japanese Americans and held them in jail camps
-Made a cowardly move to pack the supreme court with his loyalists
-policies that made the depression worse

And last but not least, he was the first and only president to get away with incest. Eleanor was a close cousin; so close that her birth name was also Roosevelt

 

They're all puppets, but yeah, Roosevelt's name comes to mind when considering the worst.

 

Shame on you for calling it incest! She married her father's fifth cousin -- that is not considered incest in any state or country any time in recorded history. Your comment is quite hateful and unfair.

 

^sunfighter is right on that one.

 

If the country turns against the Constitution, then it is our duty to wage literal war against it to defend the Constitution.

 

Thank you for setting the record straight.
If you go a few generations back, most of us are descended from folks in isolated rural areas who married kin folk. Not close cousins as a rule, but kin none-the-less. We used to call it "kissin' cousins" if you were not children of the same grandparents. Well, for that matter, you could legally marry a first cousin once removed (the son or daughter of your first cousin).

Double cousins was when your brother or sister married the brother or sister of your own wife/husband and the children that resulted from those unions were therefore "double cousins", almost as closely related as brother and sister.

Lot of times if a woman died in childbirth, her widower might marry her sister. If a man died in war or a work accident, his widow might marry her late husband's brother. I reckon the kids from both unions were double half siblings!

The Roosevelt union was distant in comparison.

 

because he hasn't broken any laws?
the clinton impeachment was a joke and should have been thrown out
we should have had bush impeached

i seriously just don't understand how people claim they are knowledged about politics and then say stupid shit like we should impeach obama...or that obama is even considered to be the WORST president ever...do you not realize who our last president was?


again - i will surely get negrepped/thumbed down for this, so i have to say it - I AM NOT AN OBAMA FANBOY, I am merely not such a radical, raving dummie that is so adamant about how BAD a PERSON obama must be.

 

I think we should elect a Republican president then throw him out four years later and elect a Democrat, then four years later.... They will each screw up things in their own way, but if we keep switching teams, there is only so much damage one party can do in four years.

 

If anything Woodrow Wilson is the worst for having signed the Federal Reserve into law

 

So you're saying that the constitution doesn't hold any laws?

And for the record, I didn't say that we should impeach Obama. Only that the things he has done are dramatically worse than what Clinton did.

And I really dot see how Obama is that much better than Bush. Maybe you could enlighten me? To me they are tied for the worst pres. However, that's not really fair because I don feel that I can judge any that I wast around for.

 

Okay, I'll bite, what's so terrible about the Fed?
It was created in the aftermath of the Great Panic of 1907.

 

Cousins are still family blood. He and elanor certainly pushed the limit on that one. Any closer and it could be inbreeding.

Its funny how many Roosevelt apologists you'll find on marijuana forums..

 

Wow, where to start..!

- the Fed finances corporations in secrecy and keep their actions hidden from the voting public.
- they print an endless supply of money out of thin air and have been increasing our debt tenfold
- the fiat currency they created has no value except fed trust
- Ben bernanke refused to tell congress where the $14,000,000,000,000 in bailouts were sent to and which foreign banks received them
- they fabricate recessions in the economic cycle
- caused the housing bubble

And on and on and on


"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, after signing the Federal Reserve into existence

 

Clinton's intervention and chaos he caused with NATO in the former Yugoslavia and the bombing he did in the Balkans was justifiable for impeachment. If not that, then the bombing of Iraq to deter the media attention away from his sex scandal. It is a serious crime for an upper level employee to solicit sexual favors from lower level employees such as white house interns. Please Explain how none of those are impeachable offenses.

 

Because he had the legal authority to do so under under international law from numerous UN mandate. Here, here's some history
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995_NATO_bombing_campaign_in_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina#Background

And he didn't need to bomb Iraq to distract from the sex scandal. Some Republicans are still mad Clinton wasn't impeached, but he wasn't impeached because a few sane Republicans realized it'd be suicide for their party. No one cared Clinton had an affair at the office. Clinton actually had his highest approval ratings of either term during the entire scandal

In fact his approval rating went up as the scandal started to break. Apparently people like a president who they know is getting blowjobs. Just like no one gives a shit Roosevelt married a distant cousin. Hell Einstein married a closer cousin.

Also that Wilson quote is another example much like the Hitler quote about gun control that goes around of ShitThatDidn'tHappen.txt. The actual quote doesn't involve the first two sentences and the Federal Reserve doesn't come up at all in the book that is from. In fact the book from the Wilson library lists the original quote from a 1912 speech, i.e. before the Federal Reserve even existed and Wilson was even president.

 

The plan for the Federal Reserve was hatched in 1910. It was signed into being in 1913.

Wilson was talking about the central banks in the speech you're referring to. As you know, there had already been a few attempts by the banksters to create a central bank in the U.S.

 

You don't have to be an apologist to know that marrying a fifth cousin is not something to judge a presidency by.

 

The FED didn't exist yet. He can't be talking in present/past tense about something that would happen in the future. He much like TR were talking about monied interest in politics.

 

That may be, but FDR apologists on a pot forum is like a Hitler apologist on a Jew forum.

 

Lol I'm sure we have all of those and more here. This place is whack yo
