Eisenhower -- lost to history
JFK -- low taxes, strong national defense. Would be a Republican today.
Nixon -- had the grace to step down. Did not authorize or know about Watergate break-in.
Ford -- RINO who tripped alot.
Carter -- Worst President until You Know Who.
Reagan -- Pride returns to America. Economic boom. Enemies given beat down. Made left look like fools.
Bush 41 -- almost won Iraq War, then didn't. Wimp taxocrats rolled over. "No new taxes." Crucified by pre-internet media/entertainment complex. Now heralded by liberals as he is harmless.
Bill Clinton -- convicted felon. Genuinely cares as shown by million-dollar speaking engagements and cheating on wife. Also, forced himself on women and if they didn't comply, had them fired. I thought liberals protected and cared about the "little guy". Filth only cared about his Little Guy.
Bush 43-- RINO aka "halfservative" who rubber-stamped all spending but still a cause célèbre of liberal apoplexy to this day
Obama -- You Know Who. Clueless, corupt community organizer fools the fools: funny movie premise, not funny in reality.

>> ^quantumushroom:

Oh yeah, these idiots. Thanks for Filth Clinton, wimp!



Eisenhower -- loses a lot of points for authorizing Operation Ajax and other foreign policy blunders.
JFK -- loses major points for that bay of pigs fiasco and Vietnam.
Nixon -- the biggest psychopathic douchebag ever to get himself elected to the presidency.
Ford -- well, at least he appointed John Paul Stevens.
Carter -- At least he had sensible foreign policy, rolling back imperialism. Stagflation was triggered by high oil prices which were caused by OPEC.
Reagan -- ignorant bigot who tripled the debt.
Bill Clinton -- was the best president we've had since Truman. Genuinely cares about helping people as evidenced by what he's done after the presidency, unlike all the recent republican presidents.
George Bush -- Worst president since Andrew Johnson.
Obama -- Pretty lame so far. Keeps trying to play nice and compromise with republicans while they spit in his face and make increasingly extreme demands. Caved in on almost all his campaign promises without even putting up a fight. He should turn the tables -- threaten to veto funds going to the the state/district of any republican who threatens to filibuster good legislation.

the other one http://www.videosift.com/video/Eisenhowers-Farewell-Address-to-the-American-People stays as it is, as they are different enough videos to merit their own sift.

Is walking a big deal for soldiers now? BTW I can definitely see the Taleban rocking these


Not so much walking at 35 mph. But yes, just about anyone who had strategic backwoods travel plans could benefit from this. This reminds me, for no good reason, of one of my favorite quotes: “In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.” - Eisenhower

i hate the term history buff...

it makes it sound negative to actually want to know what has gone on before our time, to give us more insight as to where we are and where we are going

those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it as the saying goes

yeah, Regan was the "golden age" to alot of conservatives... funny though because alot of what he accomplished wasn't really conservative

but i'd say the downfall of both parties is closer to the era after JFK than Regan, though bankers were corrupting the system since Eisenhower

>> ^ajkido:

I wonder what motivation the cops have to do this. Do they actually take direct orders from politicians (who I could see having some motivation)?


Policing has changed into a multi billion dollar business. Some police agencies have taken it upon themselves to claim bigger paces of the government pie by creating situations. It is a combination of misguided idealism and self satisfaction. You could quickly summarize it as part of the Eisenhower military industrial complex. It is a feed back loop.

>> ^Tymbrwulf:

Holy shit that music overlay is annoying.


Wow...ya. I've heard that Eisenhower speech a million times, but I had to play the vid just to see what would make someone comment. my god...so awful.

That's a great speech by Eisenhower.

Dwight Eisenhower warned of the military/industrial complex nearly 50 years ago, but nobody in government is going to cut spending and force thousands of workers out of their jobs to save the rest of us. It'll look bad when old people and teabaggers go to vote.

Enjoy your fireworks show when another country has something we want.
