I am an socialist libertarian.

Precisely what I was thinking.

Socialism is 180 degrees out of phase with Libertarians. Both Socially
and economically.

Nixon wins that metric, but Reagan had his share.

However, if you use that metric, the best president in modern times was
GW Bush, with zero convictions from the Cabinet or key staff.

So far the economic distraction has served to stall any prosecutorial
activity against the former criminal regime of the Bushco gang.

Without reason to think otherwise, I suspect the reason has more to do
with a lack of actionable evidence. Criminal courts still run on a
beyond-reasonable-doubt standard, and it is highly unlikely that
anything related to the decisioning around the Iraqi invasion would meet
that standard.

I'm guessing you dislike that fact.

I doubt anyone is thrilled by Bush's residue, except maybe the heavily
moneyed sorts that are able to finesse those bailout ransoms the
taxpayers are being hit with.

I've a feeling that someday, the criminal regime of the Obamaco gang will
provide much fodder for discussion here!

Before I start laying plywood on top of my old house attic roof rafters,
(so I can stash a lot of my old things up there) I done deeeeeecided I
will lay some new fiberglass insulation up there.My old house was built
in 1947 and whatever kind of insulation that is up there, (I don't think
it is fiberglass) it has packed wayyyy down.

Talk about Dusty up there in that attic, hooooooo weee! I bought a
respirator mask thingy at the Lowe's store, (about thirty sompin
dollars) I am going to strap it on when I climb my ladder, going up
there.

As a libertarian socialist I, by definition, am an NP.

At least Reagan could speak English. *And his tenure was a disaster,
BTW. *You are still paying off his blunders and plunders.

He was indeed a disaster for anyone who believes that larger government
represents some sort of solution to the ills of man.

Interesting as to what "The Scholars Think";
and what "the ordinary people's opinion" was
of these US Presidents.

Real scholars do not use Wikipedia.

You obviously don't remember Iran Contra. Herbert Pappy Bush never gets
any mess on himself. Too bad about Bill Casey.

"...Greenspan, 82, acknowledged under questioning that he had made a
“mistake” in believing that banks, operating in their own self-interest,
would do what was necessary to protect their shareholders and
institutions. Greenspan called that “a flaw in the model ... that
defines how the world works.”...

Wrong, Bucko.

....In almost every case, the socialist movement has been divided along
authoritarian, and libertarian lines. The anarchists on the libertarian
side, and the Jacobins, Marxists, Leninists, Stalinists, and reformist
state-socialists on the authoritarian side. (And liberals more or less
split down the middle.)...
