Opinion of Lyndon B. Johnson

[IceSpear]

Other than Nam, one of America's best Presidents.

One of the best Presidents in US history, no matter what the haters say.

That he was responsible for the deaths of millions of civilians and soldiers on both sides?  That somehow is trivial enough to label those who use it as a reason to vote "HP" as "haters?" 

The number of lives he destroyed far outnumbered the (vast) good that he did domestically.  It doesn't even come close.

His domestic policy has saved more lives (and will continue to in the future) than Vietnam destroyed.

I believe that black people should have equal rights and olds/poors should have medical care. I know that's a controversial set of opinions these days, but they are the reason why I vote FF.

All presidents are HP becuz war criminal

That's a pretty damn big thing to disregard (not to mention many other issues with the Johnson presidency).

So is FDR's internment of Japanese Americans, Lincoln's racism, most of the founding fathers supporting slavery...

"These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again."

Yawn.

Again, if this is what makes LBJ a HP, then why is every single president preceding him not a HP?

[IceSpear]

What disgusting results. Half the forum is literally just fine with killing millions of people, so long as they get health care out of it when they turn 65.

Why is FDR sending American citizens to concentration camps solely because of their race (and killing thousands in the process) any different? I have yet to see any FDR FF/LBJ HP voters address this.
