My vote went to Harry S Truman. While he was a Democrat, that doesn't rule him out of my considerations. I liked his no BS way of taking care of business. :thumbup

 

He desegregated the military, which is cool. I'm not a civil rights activist, I sure as hell ain't no Al Sharpton, but I respect Truman for that.

subcouncious aversion, being a d-bag...whatever

 

Long Hoover Speech for Intelligent People:

 

Nonetheless, I did indeed vote for Hoover and for a VERY good reason. He 100% supports my morals and libertarian political/economic philosophy.

 

Hoover was a great man, a true rugged individual. He was a self-made quaker, who did charity work around the world and was smart enough to seel his gains in the stock market when he saw it was obviously too inflated.

 

He was a man of morals. He believed that the executive should not pursue agendas not in the best interest of the people, believed in efficiency, and worthwhile reform. The Hoover commission, headed by Hoover under truman would make our military and other departments more efficient. As president, he stuck to his guns and sound economic theory and his response to the depression was the RFC and the FDIC.

 

The FDIC never passed under Hoover even though he wanted it, because he believed in a sound stable economy where the gov't played a minimal role. The RFC and the FDIC would help build stability and trust in the nation's banks and economies. Doing anything more would be immoral.

 

Central to his and my philosophy is that an individual's merit should dictate how well someone does in life. This includes a minimal participation from gov't, who's own agenda is nothing more than self-perpetuation and it's very existence cost a nation's economy it's efficiency. However, gov't is needed for stability and support. Hoover stood for a gov't which provided for the people to the maximum extent without ridding people their right's of success via merit.

 

Before FDR came to power, the American people would never tolerate men putting guns to your head and taking the money YOU earned and handing it to someone else or inefficiently squandering it. My friends, socialism is the very act of putting a gun to your head, taking YOUR hard earned money, and handing it to someone else regardless of merit.

 

Hoover pressed for everything that was important. Charity, economic stability, the perfect amount of gov't that would not impede on our rights as individuals, and the maximum chance of economic recovery.

 

Here's a newsflash for many of you. The New Deal worsened the depression. All signs (and actual) economic recovery began well during Hoover's administration. The New Deal increased taxes, ruined the economy's efficieny, and in result made more unemployment and starvation than need be. Economic problems in 1935 forced the democratic party to buy votes in the 1936 election by making Social Security, and only World War II got us out of the second great depression caused by Roosevelt and his unsound tax policies of the late 30s.

 

Roosevelt would rob us of our rights as individuals and out ability to earn our achievement's through merit. We would lose our rights to the government and the government in turn grew into an inefficient monster, just growing larger and larger and taking more and more of our rights.

 

That's why ideologically, Hoover was the best president ever. He was a true well meaning guy, a good person, with the right policies, with the right stances, and had the NUTS to actually do what was right.

 

Theodore Roosevelt in reality was a Taft Light, but his image makes him appear far greater. FDR hurt this country and started the cycle of our rights evaporating. Hoover actually effectively ran the gov't to the ebst of his ability for economic recovery and morally, believing in merit, volunteerism, and basic inalienable rights.

Although he had his faults, such as the time before WWII when he tried to pack the Supreme Court, FDR led the nation through one of the toughest times in history, and helped to create the predecessors of many of the government programs that exist today. Time magazine also ranked him as the best president of the 20th century. Here are their rankings:

 

1. FDR

2. Teddy Roosevelt

3. Woodrow Wilson

4. Harry S. Truman

5. Dwight D. Eisenhower

6. Ronald Reagan

7. LBJ

8. JFK

9. George Bush Sr.

10. Bill Clinton

11. William H. Taft

12(tie)Gerald Ford

12(tie)Calvin Coolidge

14. Jimmy Carter

15. Richard Nixon

16. Warren Harding

17. Herbert Hoover

Time is a rather liberal publication however so those rankings are definitely not the end all be all.
