Pic related.
A rich man who wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty and believed everyone at the very least deserved an opportunity to succeed in life.
The GOP turned in him. He could have fixed the Republican party a century ago.
>>61898639
*turned on him
He was once shot in the chest during a speech.
He finished the speech.
JFK literally saved the world.
Eisenhower is the only good president we've had in the last 100 years.
>>61898350
Jefferson
Not a president but for a modern political figure Kissinger knew the shit
Thomas Jefferson.
>>61898368
Your banter is growing weak captain kangaroo.

JAY EFF KAY
BLOWN AWAY
WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE TO SAY
>>61898350
Lincoln is the only American I will ever respect.
>>61898679
No, common men saved the world. His wisdom is what set that path.
>>61898695
Also the last commendable Republican president ever elected.
>>61898729
>freed the slaves
No, he really didn't.
Northern abolitionists were already doing it long before him. Read a book you shit. He was more concerned with the separation of the states than he ever was with freeing slaves. It was the political platform of the time. Like immigration or foreign war.
>>61898548
>another keneddy was also prez, correct?
no
>>61898720
This guy was an amazing president.
He charged San Juan hill like a boss and fucked up some Spaniards. He lead that charge. He would have served as president longer if people weren't afraid of great men.
>>61898350
I don't like the government.
Tie between Teddy and Andrew Jackson.
Polk is also up there.
>>61898870
I'm half native american and I don't even give a fuck about the "trail of tears."
I've got a bone to pick with black people because they're still hurtbutt about shit that they didn't see happen. Nor did any of the people they grew up knowing.
>muh culture
So what? Have an eskimo pie and fuck off.
Hoover was based as all living fuck
>>61898755
Did I say anything about slavery? No I didn't.
I admire his rags to riches story and his leadership in retaining the Union.
>>61898935
Sorry, I thought you were on some nonsense about his speech at Gettysburg.
It was a purely political rant. People tend to forget how horribly fucked up the civil war was.
Eisenhower seems pretty inoffensive.
L.B.J. and Teddy Roosevelt were bad-asses.
>>61898935
Oh and, the Union was retained by basically burning all the crops in the south, driving them out of their houses and ruining their lives.
Sure, plantation owners didn't have slaves anymore but the average joe basically got fucked. Who had no slaves because he could barely afford to eat.
>>61898989
What was bad-ass about LBJ?
>>61899016
based Sherman
To make an omelette, you gotta crack a few eggs
>>61899036
He was a monster but he got things done.
Under his conditions at the time, I can't say I wouldn't have done the same.
>>61899017
8' tall Texan who pissed in public, survived off cigarettes and steak and cucked the Democratic Party into supporting Civil Rights.
Vietnam a shit, though.
>>61899016
The south got off easy.
In another nation they could have easily all been genocided for their treasonous behavior.
>>61898548
>5. Another Keneddy was also a prez, correct?
He ran for president but was shot and died. He was also bretty good at speeches.

>>61899100
>Vietnam a shit, though.
Its funny if kennedy survived civil rights would probably be way far off from what they would be now because Johnson was so intimidating, but no vietnam war.
>>61898350
We need him more than ever.
>>61899161
Hell any of the old presidents would kick the shit out of the bankers for getting out of line.
>>61899152
>civil rights
Idk why black activism went so shit after civil rights movement.
>>61899177
My guess
People turned to violence when they felt peaceful protesting wasn't working anymore.
Then people started profiting off putting them in prison.
>>61898836
>>61898720
So many reasons:
>was a sick boy but forced himself to be athletic and outdoorsy to get over it, so he became a boxer, hunter, rower, etc. but was still nerdy and fascinated by nature
>read several books everyday
>was a prolific writer of various subjects and books that ended up being critical in their fields
>came from a wealthy and patrician family but his bro dad taught him to look out for the common man
>when he became state senator he would mingle with the plebs and see their abhorrent working and living conditions and work to change them and told other senators to fuck off when they tried their usual corruption unless they wanted a beating
>his wife and his mom, both of whom he loved dearly died on the same day in the same house but he didn't let it destroy him
>told corporations to suck it
>is the sole reason America has so many amazing natural wonders that are unspoiled
>whether you like it or not he jump started America's entrance on to the world stage in the Spanish American war, the building of the Great White Fleet, brokering peace between Russia and Japan, and ordering the building of the Panama Canal
>got shot near the heart and proceeded to give a 90 minute speech anyway before receiving aid
>stories like this:
>thieves steal his boat and go up an icy river
>TR spends a couple days building a new boat and follows them in the 0 F/-18 C cold while reading Tolstoy in his free time and then arrests them
>marches them three hundred odd miles through ankle deep mud to hand them over to the sheriff
>http://www.nps.gov/thro/learn/historyculture/roosevelt-pursues-boat-thieves.htm
>explored the amazon
I'm sure there's a ton I'm forgetting.
>>61898935
>not admiring his based wrestling skills too
Thank you Based Abraham Lincoln.
>>61899146
His brother gave some great speeches, too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwFvJog2dMw
>>61899313
>>61899146
that were nice. post some more nice speeches. why don't politicians give great speeches anymore?
>>61899383
Because politicians don't have to care anymore.
>>61899383
The people are less intelligent and nobody likes being talked down to. For fucks sake, the mathematics my grandmother was taking in grade school was more advanced than some of the shit people were doing in high school.
>ctrl+f nixon
>0 (zero) results
>>61899383
It was mentioned before in the thread, but Teddy got shot in the chest, then delivered a 90 minute speech.
Also not a president, but I really loved MLK's line:
>The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.
>>61899487
Nixon gets a pretty bad rap.
He saw the drug problem and opened methadone clinics.
He was also the president that pulled out of vietnam.
He would have won reelection if he wasn't so paranoid.
>>61899492
Martin Luther King should have been the first black president. Not this jerkoff shit that we have now.
>>61899562
Hell yeah.
And unfortunately if Donald doesn't push more in polls we're going to have shillary as the first woman "president"
>>61899562
Shit he was too good for politics
>>61899536
He was a man that wanted justice for the people.
He ordered an investigation that if successful, would have made the world a lot different and better place than it is now. The Democrats are sneaky shits that should all be hung by the thumb. I'm saying this as an independent.
>>61899616
>I'm saying this as an independent.
And I echo it as a former democrat.
>>61899606
MLK preached unity and justice. Modern Democrats like Obama are only creating a further separation of the races.
>>61899667
Well it seems like the party is crumbling, just not fast enough unfortunately.
>>61899487
He is the most underrated president. Funny that he is the one who did so huge on medicare and healthcare system. Its funny how he, a GOP, did it better than Dem president
>>61899667
With all BLM and othet identity politics plaguing Dem and American liberals are disguisting. I am saying this as a nonwhite
>>61899851
It was Republicans that believed in the American idea, and what could be possible.
People forget that it was democrats that supported slavery. It's them again, who are trying to bring it back in satin-laden slipper ideas.
>>61899432
>>61899383
Not a president, but I really liked this one:
>O, do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pay for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle. But you shall be a miracle.
>>61898350
Guy was completely insane and almost triggered WW3.
You're lucky you had Lee Harvey Oswald.
And while I'm at it: FDR is the greatest President ever. Cliche or not, it's the damn truth.
>>61899616
>>61899634
>He ordered an investigation that if successful.would have made the world a lot different and better place than it is now.
What's that?
Lincoln seems like a cool guy, based on that film.
>>61900970
Yeah he was best vampire hunter.
>>61898548
>Another Keneddy was also a prez, correct?
Bobby Kennedy was going to be pres but got killed
>>61899146
Too bad Teddy was a traitor though.
>>61898350
You can't get more AMERICA than Taft.
>>61898350
The correct answer is Teddy Roosevelt.
>>61899487
>prolonged the Vietnam War for 7 (SEVEN) years so he could be President
there's a special place in hell for him
