    i find it hilarious how many put FDR in their top 5

    easily the worst president this country has ever had

    Sorry, every single historian on the planet disagrees with you. You probably read some silly Ayn Rand bullshit. The fact is, but for Roosevelt this nation may have fallen into third world status.

    that is not a fact, that is a hypothetical.

    here is a fact, government involvement in the free market hinders competition and stalls real economic growth.

    economics 101

    Take your silly theories to the politics board. Government has been involved in commerce since the Phoenicians.

    Economics IS politics. Political Science 101.

    There has never been a debate that FDR is one of the best 3 Presidents in history:

  • The new deal was pretty divisive. Good thing for him that world war 2 happened. Now he's cemented into the top 3 for pretty much good. He was elected for four terms so somebody liked him.

    pretty much sums up my thoughts on fdr

    All this proves is that any dumbass with a computer can write any bullshit he wants.

    No credible historian in this nation or abroad would ever...ever say anything but that FDR was one of the greatest Presidents in history.

  • Mr. Gipson you are one crazy bastard when it comes to politics, as are a lot people on this board. All your browns opinions are decent though. Guess I just need to stop reading political comments when I get on here

  • Gipper, you were kinda just asking for things to go this way when you threw that question in there.

    What I am is a person with a political science degree, a law degree, a background of both elective and appointed government offices, and over 30 years in private business, and over 20 years of being involved in community development programs.

    I am an person with immense experience in government, business, and history.

    I did not get my governmental/business/political/economics/historical qualifications by listening to a bunch of disc jockeys on talk radio. I got it from being there and doing it.

    No, my fault was in not realizing the potential for idiocy that some people are capable of. So, in that respect, maybe I did.

  • Political science and law degrees. Like I said, I just need to stay away from the political comments on the board

    There are 7 questions in this survey...half of them about football. I see that you didn't really bother to answer any of them...not even the one historical question you make your comments about. You can avoid political comments by answering all those questions.

    (Others didn't rank FDR in their top 5. I have no problem with that...but to say he was our worst president is just ignorant of history.)

  • You are correct Gip. My favorite presidents were Washington: he was the man. Jefferson: probably the smartest, and warned Americans over two hundered years ago the dangers of government. He was the Nostradamus of politicians. Lincoln: took a horrible situation and made the best of it. JFK: with all his faults, he took the world off the brink of nuclear annihilation. Ronald Reagan : all people, let alone presidents need those kind of balls

  • Last political comment I post on this board

  • How did I know your list would include Reagan?

    Lol. You were shocked, the only conservative on this board

    lol, god no. if you ever looked at the political board over here... i guess it's not so bad anymore, but a few months ago it was not much more than a Tea Party circlejerk.

    Now there are 6 other questions. Or are you a one trick pony. ( a movie by the way that I appeared in...as an extra)

  • Man it's all left that I've seen. But it's cool I'm not crazy to the right and most on here to the left aren't crazy. The ones that argue politics until they are blue in face are the ones that get me. Do we really think that we will change each others political opinion, or do anything but just talk shit to each other on a football chat board. Really. I just wanna talk to fellow browns fans about the browns. And I'm too hard headed not to throw my two cents in at times

  • dude, hop on over to the political board, then. i'm sure we'll butt heads, but the discussions can be interesting.

    And I wanna know who your favorite movie villain is....and what you think the new future monarch of England should be named....and what teams you wanna see in the Super Bowl etc.

    By the way, I Like Ike better than Reagan....despite my avatar.
