He died too soon
whoa whoa whoa why are you shitting on Polk big guy
Just being a contrarian
"Omgf!!! You didn't mention Polk literally the best president evar!!! 54 40 or fite!!!"
t. bugman historian
Polk's not a bad president but a lot of pretentious folks overrate him for the sake of showing off their basic knowledge of American history
Oh ok I was wondering if there was something I was missing because my liberal teacher said he Polk was his favorite president
skeptical of everything that fella says
Washington is my favorite president
followed by Lincoln
Washington and TR are my favorite
JFK and Teddy Roosevelt get honorable mentions
haven't given it thought in a while though
My ancestor was a Stone Mason for this, St. John the Baptist Church in NYC. He died from complications from breathing in the dust
beautiful church
Contrast the churches and cathedrals our ancestors built one thousand years ago with the degenerate/nihilistic ones of the modern world.
I like Polk specifically because he set out to achieve a specific set of attainable goals and achieved them

>settles border at 49th parallel
>Polk "achieved" his goals
Well you have to examine what 54'40 or fight meant. It meant resolving a border conflict with the British, but making it clear that he was looking to make a deal that was favorable to America and wasn't willing to get fleeced on it. In the end I think setting a clear border on the 49th parallel is an amazing achievement. Its like Trump style negotiation. Set a favorable boundary to the negotiation so you walk away with what you want. @Deleted User
Think of how Trump said Mexico would pay for the wall. What he conveyed with that message is that the wall was not just a physical barrier, but a message to the rest of the world that America will no longer tolerate unfavorable trade deals. Mexico will not physically pay for the wall, but they will stop taking advantage of us because of the message the wall sends and how Trump plans to use that message
Fair enough
i have a soft spot for jimmy carter
nice guy
christian
family man
but weak and incompetent president
Beat cancer multiple times
Yeah I have nothing personal against Jimmy Carter
His failure also caused a psuedo awakening of conservatives and shattered the far left Democrat hegemony
Not saying Reagan was perfect, but its undeniable Reagan was a massive step in the right direction
Naturally the Bush's ruined it.
Bush did too much CIA shit during Reagan's presidency
and Reagan unleashed the Mexican hordes on California
ruined his own state
Fuckin BASED
the shitting on reagan meme in the AR has gone entirely too far.
