Ronald Reagan he was those one that had I the rich leadership of this country pegged. We still sit on our asses and let them rob us on a daily basis. As long as the worst president or should I say king Oboma is in power the crime continue s. We obay the law or they are very quick to sent us the invitation to attend their crooked courts, to rob us even more. Ronald got it right and made a difference now just in the USA but the world. So let's v**e for the next Harverd failure to leads even deeper into failure

The best president is a matter of both history and opinion, a numerical ranking list is mostly the latter. The most corrupt president can be measured easily by the number of administration members convicted of felonies, and the winner is Ronald Reagan with 21 as dirty as Nixon was only 8 of his accomplices went to prison he is number 2 on the list of scumbag presidents.

Could be Reagan didn't protect his scoundrels. Grant was probably the worst for that.

Best U.S. Presidents Ever. br br 1. Ronald Reagan... (show quote)
The best president ever??? William Henry Harrison.
He started no new wars. He had no scandals. No mistresses. No misguided treaties. He did the least damage of any American president.
Of course, he was only in office for one month. He went to his own inaugural without a coat, in Winter, caught pneumonia and died.
Many of believe he should be honored with his own national day and everyone should get off from work and school, to celebrate his birthday...

This is a good point, Ronald Reagan was loyal to no one but himself.

Perhaps it is a good thing he died, before he had a chance to do to us what he did to the Shawnees. "Screw unto others......"

Yeah, he was a creep; another charming "Virginia planter" and land stealer. He liked to pretend he was an abolitionist. He took his s***es with him from Virginia to Indiana. He had them converted from s***es to "indentured servants", to "comply" with local law.

You changed your mind very quickly. Harrison's actions regarding his s***es were by no means unique. It was a fairly common practice. Harrison was responsible for enacting the indenture legislation in about 1803. It was repealed in 1809. There was very similar legislation in Illinois. I am not sure about Ohio. Regarding your comment about his being a Virginian, I have included a link of documentation of the oh so righteous New Englanders and Northerners who were up to their ears in the s***e trade.

Actually I didn't change my mind. My "praise" of W.H. Harrison was sarcasm.
I am very aware that there was s***ery in the north and that s***e ships sailed out of New England. Two wrongs don't make a right. S***ers from the north were every bit the moral cretins as the " genteel planters" from the south

I stand corrected. You must remember, also, that people have to be judged by the prevailing beliefs and accepted behaviors of the time. What they did was not, generally, considered wrong. S***ery was an accepted fact of life. More than 90% of the s***es brought from Africa to the Western Hemisphere went to the Carribean, and Latin America. I have yet to hear any castigation of Spain and Portugal, or, for that matter, the Dutch, who owned many of the s***e ships. Or of the Africans who ens***ed other b****s to be sold to the white s***e traders. Or of the countless hordes of s***es of every age, sex and color in Asia. It was a fact of life, far more prevalent in the Southern Hemisphere, and the Eastern, than it ever was in North America. There were a fair amount of white s***es who also were euphemistically called "indentured servants." This was an everyday thing, accepted in most places as normal. People of a time must be judged by their adherence to the acceptable codes of conduct of that time.

Many Americans don't want to believe the t***h about so many of our founders. Viewing things through the lens of the times is a cop-out. S***ery was fast becoming unacceptable in the late 18th century. The British, in 1774, enacted the first of their abolitionist laws that was destined to end s***ery. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, plus many others could see that their genteel way of life, with its "free" labor and "free" sexual favors was about to end.
Rather than letting their gravy train come to an end, they duped their non-slaving owners to fight the British to maintain the planters "freedom" to own and breed s***es like cattle. Too many Americans would rather cling to their Disneyfied dumb-downed version of American history, rather than face the grim t***hs of this nation's founding.
If you believe the "revolution" was about tea, I've got some ocean front property in Arizona, that I would be happy to sell you.

The Revolution had little or nothing to do with tea. Your sense of history is pure parochialism, seen through the narrow prism of Liberal left coast Californian ideology. You insist that judging someone by the standards of their time is a cop out, yet you judge everyone by your standards. Given your wistful postings of how wonderful the UK is, you would have undoubtedly been a Tory.
