Lincoln was undoubtedly the worst president in US history. The lasting damage he did to the country and the constitution are unparalleled.

No, that honor would go to President-for-Life FDR, who vastly expanded the size of the federal government, gave labor unions dictatorial power over the economy, prolonged the Great Depression to twelve years, outlawed gold ownership, allowed a third-rate military power to wipe out our Pacific Fleet, and made the world safe for Communism. But I suppose not too many 'Southern Sympathizers' will go for that, because it was the South's kneejerk votes that elected FDR to four terms.

As a Southern boy, I couldn't agree with you more about FDR. FDR ran against Hoover on the grounds that Hoover was a big spender and smaller government was needed. It was easy to be fooled once. After that I have no adequate explanation. Since FDR got over 80% of the electoral vote in every election, even if the South had been solid Republican country it would not have mattered.

We very nearly agree. At least we are applying the same criteria. Let's compromise; Lincoln was the worst 19th century president and FDR the worst 20th century president. Pray that the worst 21st century president is an honest Christian conservative!
