No offense.
None taken. I happily accept that fact, well, I already knew it. This is why I hate the majority of my country.
Nixon did nothing that any other politicain was doing at the time other then that he got caught.....
Oh yes, all the politicians were planting bugs in there opponents rooms, and then assuming that their opponent was plotting to kill them....Sure, all the politicians of that era dug up dirt on their opponents, hells, its done today, but they did it legally.
Reagen turned the economy around ....
Then forgot he had the next day.
Licoln sent a bunch of people to war and was too worried about being popular to free the slaves and give them rights properly.
Lincoln did not send them to war. He tried everything to prevent the war from happening, and failed, because the south insisted on forming the Confederacy, and he retaliated the way any president would, he tried to bring them back. He didnt give a damn about his image. Countless times, people made fun of him, and he didnt do anything but reply wth wit. Example: One time a man called him a fool, and he replied along the lines of, "Well, then I must be a fool, because Mr.(name here) is always right." He gave the slaves proper rights. He made them American citizens and free men/women. And according to the Constitution, any free American Citizen, no matter his race, has the same rights as all others, a list of these rights can be found in the Constitution. The southerners were racist, however, and didnt offer jobs to blacks, and found loopholes in the voting system, hence the Grandfather clause, literacy tests, and tax fines. Dont blame Lincoln, who was dead at the time, for that.
Kennedy... did....well.... really.... he didn't do anything other then a bit of recognition of the civil rights issues which in actuallity Lyndon Johnson pushed forth....
Need I remind you that Lyndon Johnson also brought us into Vietnam, and escalated it numerous times. The only good thing that Nixon did was bring us out...
Did the nuclear (or "nuke-ler", as Bush says) bombing save lives? Of course they did! I hold the entire Island Hopping Campaign as evidence! The Japanese fought to the last man, for every inch of ground.
Iwo Jima Casualties:
Japanese soldiers: 20,000
US: 6,821 marines + 900 sailors
Out of those, dead are:
US: 4,917
Japanese: ~18,000
Guadacanal:
US: 1,592 fatalities
Japanese: 25,000 lost
Two of the large battles, and the battle for Japan would have been a hundred times worse.

Actually yes they do. Politicians plant bugs all the time. Many have been known to use reasources from intel departments and now its even easier to do it.
So your blaming him for alsheimers? 🙄
You know nothing about Lincoln then.... :/ war was certain but he was sucha terrible commander and chief he put hs army in the hands of incompetent generals and cost the lives of countless soldiers.... his political ambitions revolved around perserving the Union and only proclaimed emancipation to cripple the Southern war effort..... you do realize he only freed the slaves in the south right? the north had to pass state legislature acts to proclaim slavery illegal on their own.
No... JFK sent our "advisors" to Vietnam and Eisenhower before him opened CIA operations there .... If the protest didn't eat us alive Nixon would have crushed the vietnamse in Cambodia....
If I remember rightly.... one of your VPs became president for one day on a technicality... the previous guy had gone, the new one refused to be sworn in on a sunday, so the VP became pres... for one day... he spent most of that day in bed, and only found out on the Monday that he had been pres the day before... can't remember his name, but he's my candidate for the best Pres....
