This was when I first joined. Since listening/reading the work of the faculty on here I’ve realized I was dead wrong and wish I could take down this thread altogether but there doesn’t seem to be a way to do that.
bradleymarshall603ParticipantRead Thomas Sowell’s book “Vision of the Anointed,” or “Intellectuals and Society,” and you’ll get a perfect picture of what their motivations were. Or more specifically you could read the book done by Sigmund Freud that shows Wilson literally didn’t live in reality and din’t care about facts.
bradleymarshall603ParticipantI think you’re kind of missing the point with Washington. It’s not that he thinks he’s truly one of the worst Presidents, it’s that his allowance of the Great Evil called Hamilton to do as he pleased laid the groundwork for the truly bad Presidents to begin expanding executive power. You can even hear in a recent podcast Brion did with Tom Woods where he says Washington was one of the best Presidents we ever had, however it’s still important nonetheless to recognize what happened during his administration that lead to what we have today. He does the same thing with Madison in his annexing territory in a way that opened the door for Polk to start the Mexican American war. I’ve found that learning about history is often like seeing dominoes after they’ve already fallen; it’s about tracing what domino lead to the falling of each one.
Also he’s not going in order of which President is worst, he’s going in order of when they served because again it’s about tracing how each one lead to the problems of the next one.
