Worse than Buchanan and Andrew Johnson? That's quite a feat

@jaroonn We know you libs can masturbate.
This is a porn site. Make a porno.

@raphjd The preeminent association of experts in the field of political science (I'm guessing that you are not a member).
Maybe they are leftists, and that's why they ranked those rabid communists Lincoln, Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower and Reagan so high. lol
-
Anyone who rates Clinton, Biden, and Obama that high are total idiots.
"Preeminent" according to who?

Scholars, experts, professionals. All those people that you don't read. It's ok; they use a lot of facts and big words.
Typical right-winger.
-
Yeah, and Antifa claims they are anti-fascists.

"Libs like libs! Libs say libs are great!" - @jaroonn you define Jilted Bottom.
This is a porn site. At least turn your self-petting into video.

@jaroonn Yeah, they polled 100 people in Washington DC. What a shock.
By the way, what was so great about Lincoln? The number of soldiers who died between 1861 and 1865, generally estimated at 620,000, is approximately equal to the total of American fatalities in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Spanish American War, World War I, World War II, and the Korean War, combined.
Also, Lincoln's wife was totally nuts (Lincoln sometimes had to forcibly drag her home because she was making a spectacle of herself in public).
Lincoln hated black people. As an attorney - he referred to black people as "niggers". Lincoln wanted to stop the farmers in the south from importing black people (note that Lincoln had no problem with people bringing in slaves from Ireland/Europe or China). Lincoln was working on sending all the black people back to Africa - which is how Liberia was created.
Lincoln sure was no pal to native American Indians.Lincoln is known to have slept with men (hopefully they were cute and had huge cocks).

@lololulu19 Lincoln led efforts that kept Union together & ended slavery. Trump often invokes Lincoln.
True, Lincoln was slow to end slavery - North floundered & lost, until he finally did E.P.
True, many of Lincoln's efforts were unconstitutional.
For myself, I don't see him as perfectly good - or perfectly bad.

They should do one for VP's as well. I'd love to see where they put Kamala.

@Rapsey-0 You know already. at #1. becuz "diversity is our strength"
-
@blablarg18 Just imagine what struggle session it must've been for them to resist putting Obama as #1
-
The level of discourse at your trailer park roundtables is truly inspiring. lol
-
@jaroonn More of "Libs like libs! Libs say libs are great!"
This is a porn site. At least turn your self-petting into video.

@jaroonn I wish I could say the same about your contribution to it. Unfortunately slinging an insult by implying that only people who live in trailer parks hold these views is neither inspiring nor discourse.
If your point is that you are more intelligent, civilized or sophisticated than us this seems like a strange way to demonstrate it.
-
@blablarg18 I forgot about Lincoln's illegal and unconstitutional stunt with martial law.
Also.. if you have ever seen the movie "Gangs of New York", if shows how when Lincoln was running for president, gangs would blatantly beat people to death for supporting Lincoln's opponent.
-
@Rapsey-0 You feel that my being insulting and making generalizations is unworthy of the normal tenor of discourse on this esteemed forum?
Interesting....

Not at all @jaroonn. I'm just a little surprised to see an uptown citizen stoop to the trailer park level of behavior they claim us to be at. Some would call that hypocrisy.
Sparring aside... I know this corner of GT is dominated by a few conservative-leaning people, but I would honestly love to have people with opposing views chime in. Echo chambers suck and I bet you could offer some really interesting perspectives. So if you ever see me saying something you think is dumb and you feel like telling me why... I'd be delighted. Maybe I'll walk away with something I hadn't thought of before.
