Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

You are in a small minority, liberals don't think he was so bad either.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

If they need a republican president to look up toward they have : Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Dwight Eisenhower, i think its weird they choose to identify with reagan over them
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

It is because liberals like him as well that he is able to be considered so good. Plus, it is better to use the most recent presidents because we can't really talk about Abe Lincoln when the big technology of the time was railroads.You guys should be talking about how great Clinton was. Too bad he had the intern problem, otherwise you could talk about him a lot. We should treat Clinton like Reagan and talk about him a lot because the economy was good then.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

I disagree, i may be a liberal but clinton did nothing to improve our economy, he is OUR reagan in many ways, except we don't worship him
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

And this is why you deserve to lose. Maybe you guys should worship a successful president.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

No, worship is unhealthy, no one is perfect, i like FDR a lot but i don't believe he was the most perfect human being ever, talk to a conservative about reagan they talk about him like he was some perfect human who did no wrong. If you even say a comment negative about him they jump at you with overall insults as if it is something blasphemous, i know there are liberals out there who may do this also, but there not as many.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

That's why people think that Reagan was a better president than Clinton. It is too bad that the Democrats don't have cheerleaders.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Reagan did a few good things, but overall he was no different than any of the other cold war era presidents before him, his influence in my opinion did more negative than good.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Other than FDR, who had more positive than negative? I have a hard time believing you are correct since liberals are quick to attack Bush, but don't say anything about Reagan.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Rather your a conservative or liberal, bush was an idiot, so is Obama, we have had no true liberals in office since JFK
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

You didn't make any sense. I just want to know which presidents you think were good.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

George washington , Thomas Jefferson, Abe lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, JFK
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

Truman? So you don't like Reagan because he supported anti-communist rebels who eventually turned genocidal, but you do like the guy who ordered an atomic bomb be dropped on a city full of civilians?
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Im not saying any if these men were perfect, btw he only did that because it was the only way to end the war quickly, had we invaded main land japan, it would have resulted in far more american soldiers and japanese civilians losing lives
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

Assad used chemical weapons to try and end his war quickly. Killing civilians is wrong no matter how you look at it.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

He didn't evidence says its the rebels, get your facts straight and quit watching fox news
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Obama is the one who was telling us it was Assad, why would Fox News report that it was him?
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Again, i dont like obama, im only a registered democrat, i think they are just as bad as republicans
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

I am not sure what that has to do with Fox News, but ok.Why don't you like Obama?
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Hes done nothing but pander to these right wing nutjobs, and he has done nothing to stop these wars started by bush overseas, in fact hese expanded them, he wont take a stand on anything, conservatives are the ones who should love him, not liberals
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

Hes done nothing but pander to these right wing nutjobsThat doesn't sound like Obama at all, I think you are confused. I hope you are not against him compromising with the right to get stuff done. Even then I don't see him pandering at all, he has a terrible liberal agenda.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

Well... thanks for the advice, but I don't watch Fox News very often. I watch CNN just as often, which isn't very much. I just know when to give credit where credit is due. You're assuming that I'm a conservative, aren't you? lol
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Somewhat, you seem like a very intelligent guy, and youve made some good points, but if you look deeper into reagan youll find hes sno superman
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

Trust me, you haven't looked deeper into Reagan... unless there is some sort of astonishing information you obtained straight from inside sources. Democrats hate the fact that the Republicans had what was clearly a good president. They want to diminish his image in an attempt to say "Look! When was the last time the Republicans had a good, honest president in office?". That's politics buddy! They don't play fair. I believe that the reason we keep having shitty presidents, is because we keep electing career politicians.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

That i agree with you, but nethertheless, i believe Roosevelt was superior to Reagan in may ways
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

That's your opinion. I'd say they were about equal and the deciding factor for each individual is based on their values and which president represented them more.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

Uhhh... wait, the evidence doesn't say it was the rebels. Where'd you hear that... from Assad? lol
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

What evidence says he has? Where did you get that from, Obama?
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

It seems pretty obvious. I don't support attacking them, but Assad's regime has been killing Syrian civilians left and right for a couple of years now. He even bombed a children's hospital. On top of all that, Assad had a shit-load of chemical weapons that he agreed to hand over to the UN.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

I havent seen enough evidence to convince me either way, and thats all beside the point
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

Yeah, well... I lean more towards the theory that Assad was behind the attacks... but I don't completely discount the possibility that it was the rebels.I could share with you a video of what has been going on in Syria if you want... I have to warn you though, it's pretty gruesome.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Fair enough, post me a link, i dont like Assad either so you know, i also dont like murder of civilians.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

Here's part one. That's all I watched. It's over 20 minutes long by the way.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Btw, many of those rebels were already genocidal, ever heard of Jonas Savimbi?
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

Yeah, he was the leader of the UNITA. He was supported by more than just Reagan, because they wanted him to win the war against the MPLA, who was supported by the Soviet Union.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

Compared to all of our Presidents, nobody can really say that FDR was a bad president... but the Reagan hate is entirely unnecessary as well. The majority of the negative comments that liberals make regarding him are usually based off of conspiracy theories. Look at the known facts and base your opinion off of that. What it comes down to, is that you don't like him because of the (R) that was next to his name. The letter doesn't matter! That's why we keep electing shitty presidents. Be proud that your nation had presidents as respected as FDR and Reagan. We need more like them.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Im sorry but reagan did these things:1. Support the mujahideen in afghanistan, whom would later form the very same terrorist groups that attacked us on 9/11 and that we are fighting now2. Said we wouldn't negotiate with terrorists in the iranian hostage crisis but secretly gave them weapons 3. Ignored global warming and scrapped many environmental efforts ( such as the solar pannels on the white house that Jimmy Carter invested in)4. Supported apartheid in south africa5. Called black women "welfare queens"6. Supported violent anti-communist rebels across the globe whom are responsible for the murder, rape, and genocide of many innocents7. Gave breaks to big buisnesses who abused thier workers rights8. Called HIV "Gods punishment to the gays"9. Voted against making Martin Luther King Day a holiday, calling him a communist10. Overspent on our military for his failed and unnessesary "star wars project"I cannot respect any man who does this to my country
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

1. Support the mujahideen in afghanistan, whom would later form the very same terrorist groups that attacked us on 9/11 and that we are fighting nowI thought I already made it clear that Reagan could not see into the future. 2. Said we wouldn't negotiate with terrorists in the iranian hostage crisis but secretly gave them weapons Did Reagan bring his backpack full of guns and set up a booth for the Iranians? The CIA was negotiating for the release of the hostages. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm not sure why you're bringing Iran up anyways. Has that come back to bite us in the ass yet? We have tension with them, but we aren't at war with them. In fact, Kerry is meeting with them for peace talks sometime in the next few weeks.3. Ignored global warming and scrapped many environmental efforts ( such as the solar pannels on the white house that Jimmy Carter invested in)I hate to break it to you, but neither Democrat or Republicans are too concerned about global warming. They say that they're "green" in an attempt to win votes.4. Supported apartheid in south AfricaBut the Anti-Apartheid act was passed regardless and it's main enforcer was George H.W Bush.5. Called black women "welfare queens"Never heard that one lol, but if we're pointing out silly things like that... then I'll just point out that FDR was a coke-head.6. Supported violent anti-communist rebels across the globe whom are responsible for the murder, rape, and genocide of many innocentsHe obviously didn't support the murder and rape, but rather the anti-communism part. Like I said before, he couldn't predict the future.7. Gave breaks to big buisnesses who abused thier workers rightsThis is just starting to sound like typical liberal bias.8. Called HIV "Gods punishment to the gays"Never heard that one either, but I'm not sure what that has to do with his record.9. Voted against making Martin Luther King Day a holiday, calling him a communistBut MLK Day became a holiday regardless... so, what is your point? Personally, I definitely do believe MLK deserves recognition... but I'm not entirely sure if he deserves a holiday either.10. Overspent on our military for his failed and unnessesary "star wars project"Not sure if I'd call it a failure considering it still exists today as the "Missile Defense Agency".
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

List me some of the positives he did? Just give me some so i can debunk them
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

Debunk them? You hardly got any of the negatives right!
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Reagan wasnt a good president, he isn't even worthy of putting in our history books, he's an embarrassment, FDR was a man truly worthy of respect
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

You have a slanted view. Here are some conservative arguments.FDR led us through a depressionWe would have gotten through the depression anyway and all of the government spending actually slowed down the process.FDR fought the forces of Nazi Germany and Imperial JapanFDR apparently also let them become a big enough power that it became a World War.FDRs New Deal kept the poor from starvingFDRs New Deal led to a government culture of spend spend spend to fix the problem and has led to the current financial collapse.I am not saying that I believe that, I am saying that if you view it from a different perspective you can find a negative way to portray it.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Im willing to own up to those, FDR wasn't perfect, he did some things i don't approve of, but what I'm trying to point out is that he contributed more positively to our history than Reagan, btw FDR tried to enter the war earlier to stop the germans and japanese but congress wouldn't let him. These conservatives worship Reagan like a God
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

These conservatives worship Reagan like a GodI think this is a slight exaggeration, but it is still not so bad if you are right. Reagan is actually a reasonable president to look up to. He didn't blindly go conservative and he didn't even follow Reagonomics. The fact that conservatives actually like Reagan is a sign that there is still hope for them. Imagine if they thought Bush was the greatest.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

You've made a good point my friend, I'm just trying to understand the mind of a conservative
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

You should see the isolationist policies that he backed before the US joined WWII. By refusing to sell the British empire ships, he almost cost them, and the entire world dearly.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

He secretly supplied the British with volunteer Fighter pilots from the US to help fight the Germans before the US even entered the war
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Roosevelt's new deal reshaped American economics for about a century, he regulated businesses, passed the National Industrial Recovery Act and guided America out of the great depression. Reagan had sold weapons to Iran and increased out debt.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

Roosevelt was behind the Manhattan Project, which basically led to the Cold War. Now we have threats of Nuclear warfare across the globe that could literally lead to the destruction of all civilization. All of this can be traced back to a decision that FDR made during his presidency.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Without the Manhattan Project we could still be fighting the second world war!
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

Maybe... but I'm sure there could have been alternatives, rather than dropping an atomic bomb and killing a bunch of civilians. Hell, they could have probably dropped it on a different location. I think that they knew that killing civilians would have a greater impact than killing military.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

The Japanese were not going to give up, at all it was one of their policies us traumatizing them with the atom bomb was the only genuine way to send the message telling them we want them to surrender.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

I think Reagan may have been the worst president we ever had, he is at least in the top 3.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

While FDR was by no means perfect, he certainly did more than any other President in the history of the United States has done, to relieve the plight of the most vulnerable in society and ensure stability in the economy. People often argue that the New Deal did not restore economic growth and vitality -- and they'd be right. However, the problem here was not that he was prescribing the wrong medicine, it was that he wasn't prescribing enough of it. In fact, like Obama today, he perhaps carried out a fatal mistake, in cutting back the role of the government in 1937, instead seeking a balanced budget to calm misguided inflationary fears. It was only after WW2, with huge stimulus spending, that America bounced back.Nonetheless, when one looks at Glass-Steagal, the alphabet agencies, the efforts he made both to mitigate the instabilities of finance capital, and to ensure there were jobs and a relief for the long-term unemployed.Reagan, on the other hand, began a process which has come to cripple the US economy. From deregulation to deunionisation, banks and businesses were allowed to operate as if they were bandits in the Wild West; meanwhile, worker's protections were all but stripped away, the false theory of monetarism became the dominant philosophy in how to run the economy, and -- lest we forget -- Reagan was a war criminal. Many of the social ills we face today come from the sort of society and worldview Reagan and his proponents promoted, that remain to this day.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Ronald Reagan even admitted that FDR was a wonderful President.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

He was a better Politician and abuser of power.In the end, this is all a president has to be to be deemed successful. ;)FDR didn't really do anything remarkable and although the 'remarkable' things RR did perhaps had negative aftermaths, he actually bothered to do something and really put his neck out there for USA.Better attitude, more assertiveness and extreme efficiency make RR the superior President. Corrupt or not, he is superior.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

In that case hitler was the best leader of Germany cause he had more assertiveness and really stuck his neck out for Germany and bothered to do something, see how your logic doesn't make sense?
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

Would you argue otherwise? ;)
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Yes, it doesn't matter how assertive a leader is, it matters on how much of a positive impact that leader has
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

As an anarcho-socialist, how can any leader have a positive impact according to you?
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

I believe that a leader who puts the people first is admirable, and i think that should serve as society's model.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

So because you want communism, this defines any capitalist politician as a weaker president?
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

No, i want a system where the community contols everything, where personal liberties are respected (as long as it doesnt harm another individual) , i want no government, no corporations, no hierarchy of leadership, just a community run society with a heavily regulated market. Reagan was pro-corporation, pro-government, anti-people
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

then how the hell can you rate one leader above another if their very existence goes against everything you stand for?
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Im an atheist whom looks up to historical people like martin luther king, he may have been religous but his principles were similar to mine. So just because i believe a certain principle doesnt mean i cant model aspects of it from others
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

That's nice, you think black people should have the same civil rights as white people. This is something that Ronald Reagan never denied.FDR, however, was against this. He subtly hinted this very many times.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Yes he did, reagan said if a white man doesnt want to serve a black man in a resaraunt, he has the right to, he also voted against every civil rights act he came across and opposed affirmitive actionFDR denounced Lynchings in the south (which were very common at the time) as "organized murder", he provided many relief programs to minorities, and was very supportive of his wifes attempts to encourage desegregation in the military
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

FDR wasn't much of a civil rights activist. A lot of the laws he signed promoted racial segregation.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

100% agree to this. Wish I had mentioned this myself.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

He did way more to help minorities than reagan did, name me a few things that reagan did for blacks
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

Reagan never said such bullcrap. Even if he happened to say it against my knowledge that doesn't mean that a black man isn't entitled to refuse serving a white man or even one of their own race (and a white to a white). This just means that you can't go to prison for it. that's all. If anything, that's very liberal to allow different opinions despite offence, that's true freedom.RR didn't exist when lynching were common. Unfair comparison.
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: FDR

Nope, Reagan did exist when lynchings were common and began heavily endorsing Barry Goldwater when he took an pro segregation stance, and he did say that stuff, do your research, and i believe no one, despite skin color, should be denied a public service even if the server doesnt want to, every human being has that right, if you believed that your taking the "seperate but equal" stance
Debate: Who was a better President? Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan
Side: RR

No he fucking didn't. Lynchings had entirely stopped and were completely outlawed when RR was in power.RR never denied any black individual public services what the fuck are you talking about?
