Catfish,

If you're so happy we're over there you can sign up for the service in what? 5 years when you turn 18, and then you can spread your intelligence of the whole situation to them.

Seriously though man, this forum isn't about grammar and proper spelling but wow, reading your posts is like reading something my cousin in 3rd grade writes. Add to the fact that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but yours must be heavily influenced by outside sources. I'm convinced you were brainwashed by aliens. Conservative, Republican, Bush supprting aliens.

I'd however say that Truman's job in Viet Nam was worse, even as people relate the middle east to Viet Nam. It's good presidents have people like McNamara to share some of the blame. Maybe we can play Rumsfeld and Condoleeza Rice for "mission accomplishments" in the middle east. Who knows?

I don't know, when you claim that Lincoln restricted personal *freedom*s worse then anyone else, it tends to raise my eyebrows

Because freeing people from oppressive slavery is retarding their personal freedoms to a point at which you want to cry?

Who are you talking to here?

"Reagan? Care to enlighten all of us on why you choose him as the worse?"

I didn't.

I consider him the worst of recent times (meaning the last 25 years or so). My dislike of Reagan is based on his domestic policy and especially his economic policy. There have been quite a few presidents who were worse than Reagan, just not as recently.

As I said above, I feel the worst ever is Buchanan.

All of our recent presidents have been pretty poor. I consider Reagan the worst of the recent bunch--but only barely so. We're caught in another period of extremely weak/poor presidents, much like the early/mid 1800's. A couple centuries from now, names like Clinton or Bush won't have any more signifigance than names like Tyler or Fillmore have today.

The best president we've ever had is Washington.

Truman's job in Viet Nam? I believe you're thinking of Lyndon Johnson, not Truman. When Truman was president, McNamara was still working for the Ford Motor Company.

Sorry about that, typo, meant Johnson. Damn i might be turning into Catfish...

It was a sarcastic comment about Lincoln taking away rights.

I wonder if even Lincoln could have stopped the South from leaving the Union.

Gentlemen, I'm a little dissapointed that you guys are lacking in the history department.

While Lincoln was freeing the slaves, he committed the biggest personal rights violation out of all the presidents.

He suspended Habeus Corpus. That means that you no longer have a right to a speedy trial, nor do you have to be charged with anything to be held.

What Bush is doing to the islamofascists isn't nearly as bad. Bush is charging them with crimes, but also milking for information and taking his sweet time to push the charges through.

Lincoln would gather US citizens (on both sides) and hold them with no intention of ever charging them, just because he felt like it.

Oh, and FDR gathered up Americans of Japanese descent and did the same thing.

I'd ask how Reagan was worse than Carter, but probably a waste of time:O
