Theodore Roosevelt. This whole fucking country would be one coast to coast Wal Mart without what he did to preserve and protect the bountiful and beautiful land of this once great nation, and now sad & pathetic economic zone.
Not to mention his personal ethos IE "The Strenuous Life" and practicing "Muscular Christianity". Truly showed what an American Man was supposed to be, before the concept was pacified and turned into a commodity.

The Roosevelt family named was ruined by his rat kike cousin fdr. Theodore was one of the best presidents, and fdr was one of the absolute worst. Interesting dichotomy.
All true. Though I was focused on a summary of what he did while in the oval office, I hold him in such high regard because he was the epitome of a complete man- one who strove for excellence in every single undertaking big or small.
Also worth mentioning that he was a very sickly child who suffered from a variety of maladies that doctors told his parents would leave him bedridden for most of his likely very short life. But in typical Teddy fashion, he set out to make any who doubted him embarrassingly wrong.

Mostly his (and the other founders) personal letters to each other. Washington described more than once his dislike for the new strange and foreign propensities of the freemanons. He and others also invole the name of Christ all the time, pretty much disproving the whole fake and gay "muh founders were deists!" argument. The founders were at least as Christian as the nazis were anti-jewish.
A single individual as the head of a nations government cannot _possibly_ do "good." The best you can hope for is they don't totally shit themselves or destroy the founding arrangement.
This is the whole fucking reason we setup this country was to get away from this simple minded feudal mentality.
You were supposed to be primarily a citizen of your state and generally ignore and barely tolerate the federal institution that underpins the union. The asshole at the top of the chart was supposed to be the least meaningful person in the entire arrangement.
Its easier for Jews and foreign operatives to infilrate/buy off your politicians in a republic/'democracy'. Trump tried to pass a law and out of nowhere a 'federal' judge rebuked it.
Roman civilization reached its peak as an empire/dictatorship, but the republic definitely helped set the foundation for it to become a hegemon. Byzantine would put in proper apparatus in place to ensure less insane successors took to the throne.
Also at the start of United States, only white men could vote, under the constant threat of a slave revolt and indigenous tribe skirmishes. Once all other mediterrenean powers like Carthage and Macedonia were subjugated, the Roman Republic began to disintegrate.
> at the start of United States, only white men could vote
For President and Vice President. Again, states were always held in a higher status than the federal government, and many of them did allow more than just White men to vote in the elections they controlled. Which were more important as the State legislature had the authority to just assign (and RECALL) Senators to congress. We fucked that up with the 17th, badly.
> under the constant threat of a slave revolt and indigenous tribe skirmishes.
Hardly. The 3/5ths compromise is so incredibly misunderstood it blows my mind. It was meant to be a poison pill. It was a way for the north to get the south to sign into the union. They got to keep their slaves, they got some representation for them, but not enough to vouch safe them from the north, and hopefully enough to make the practice mostly unviable to continue.
The very next treaty the US signed into federal law was the Northwest Territories Treaty. It cleared all this up. No new states were ever allowed to have slaves. And any new state had just as much standing as the original 13.
Anyways.. point is.. there was zero "threat" of a slave revolt being a problem on any level other than the local plantation itself.
> powers like Carthage and Macedonia were subjugated, the Roman Republic began to disintegrate.
Those people had horses. They ran an entire empire using horses. I mean, history is illuminating, but to pretend it's a map that will magically repeat itself is absurd.

But my gdp!
Seriously, as I learn more about the world the more I hate gdp and economy voters and politicians. Yes strong economic growth matters. In the short term. If you think beyond the next quarter and focus on strong people, strong money and strong minds the economy will take care of itself in due time

To be a Reagan apologist for a moment: I genuinely think that most of his biggest mistakes were due to misguided naivety, not misguided morality. I think he thought he was settling those issues with impressive compromises.
"Okay, we'll put a stop to illegal immigration, but for the ones who are already here, we'll be generous and give them amnesty."
"Okay, you hate guns, we want to keep them, so we'll just agree to ban the most dangerous ones and that will be that."
He thought that these would be ways to end the debate, or be an olive branch for further compromise. But leftists aren't like that. A compromise isn't a compromise to them, it's a step on their way to absolute power. Nothing is ever enough. The next step is always just as desperately morally imperative as the last. They were never going to say "Okay, good deal, I guess we won't push it further". They were never going to say "You scratched out back so we'll scratch yours."
That was Reagan's mistake. He assumed a level of humanity in the left that was absent. So in the end, he really ended up cranking the ratchet a few big clicks to the left without getting anything in return.

Exactly. Just look at trump as the most recent example. They kept fucking him im the ass left and right throuout his whole term, and continue to do so, and yet he still doesn’t speak out against the true evil. He’s lucky if he has another 10 years here. At what point do you just throw your hands up and say fuck it and speak the obvious truth. I mean, they’ve tried to kill him multiple times already, and he still continues to bend the knee. It would be so refreshing if he got back in and just went scorched earth by going after all the kikes, and naming them left and right while riding off into the sunset as he slides down his sword into the afterlife, it would be so fucking refreshing, and he go down in history as an actual villain but for the good reason of exposing the Talmudic demons, and the games they play instead of just a villain who is looked at the same way but only because he was “uncouth, and mean”. What’s the saying, if you keep labeling me something no matter what I do, or don’t do, I might as well be/become the best damn version of what you keep accusing me of.
I’d like to think and believe that, but I just can’t considering he grew up and lived in Jew York all his life along with his father having to deal with them in “business”.
But he's also a boomer, and theyve been bombarded with pro-jew propaganda since birth, meaning they intrinsically trust the jew no matter how hard he stabs them in the back.
The job of the president is to implement laws that were handed to them.
The job of the legislature is to find compromise.
The retard failed because he was trying to do someone else's job rather than his own.
People bitch that the president takes time off and plays golf. Frankly, that's the best outcome you could possibly hope for, these activist name-making dipshits ruin everything.
The *only* reasons Reagan is idolized by boomers are a decent economy (at least from what ive heard) and the USSR collapsing under his watch. The thing is, he had nothing to do with the latter, communism always fails due to it being a parasitic system that inevitably kills the host (in reality, it moves on to a new one every time, with america being the next target after Russia was robbed).

Both sides want to start selling off the remnants of our preservations so that the hordes of migrants will have a place to live.
Bonus: the orange shabbos wants to also sell the land to foreign companies.

I really dislike these people.
Also worth mentioning that he was a very sickly child who suffered from a variety of maladies that doctors told his parents would leave him bedridden for most of his likely very short life. But in typical Teddy fashion, he set out to make any who doubted him embarrassingly wrong.
And succeeded in that beyond comparison.
