i'd place him just outside the foundational POTUS's: Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, FDR. |
|
Date: May 1st, 2015 8:27 PM Author: snowy irradiated stage The problem with Polk is that he was pretty much the idiot savant of POTUS. He crushed on manifest destiny and arguably on economic policy. Little else. Plus, the acquisition of so much territory was a medium-term disaster for the Republic, bringing the slave question to a boiling point. Historians fellate Polk for setting an agenda and sticking to it, but that strength conceals the weaknesses of his limited imagination and vision.
Contrast that Teddy Roosevelt, who actually deserves to be in your pantheon ahead of Jefferson, Jackson, and FDR. The Great White Fleet basically doomed the British Empire, probably the most significant factor in assuring American world power after Union victory in the Civil War. |

Date: May 1st, 2015 9:09 PM Author: Slimy hyperventilating resort alpha idiot savant? he came in promising to be a one-term, four-goal POTUS, did all four goals, and retired. the territory he acquired was massive.

He also had no effective policy on niggers. |

There's literally no way to tell that the "good" things they did were any better than what others would have done, or if the bad things aren't actually preventing something worse.
For all we know Gerald Ford passed some obscure legislation that stopped the biggest great depression ever from happening. |
|
Date: May 1st, 2015 9:05 PM Author: snowy irradiated stage Don't walk into this battle of the titans sporting a model of causality drawn straight from Back to the Future, faggot. Depressions are not caused or prevented by one random bit of legislation, but by repeated, incremental, and concurrent actions that coincide to produce great events. A king is history's slave, so obviously even the actions of great men cannot be directly compared like the stats for some niggerball draft. The comparative judgment seeks instead to know what virtues the historical moment displayed in each of these men, which are worthy of praise or emulation, and which exceeds the other. Not some fucking fruitless inquiry like which POTUS would have single-handedly prevented your great-grandparents from inflicting three generations of imbeciles on the world.
Peace and love in Jesus Christ. |
