I think that at large Clinton helped this country. He was a financial wizard and I still agree with his views and financial choices for this country. His record of accomplishments is impressive. I think he was right on his budgetary choices.
I found that Clinton is part of the New World Order so I rescind my opinion of him as the best president of the last century. This group is responsible for too many travesties in our recent goverment.
I will update my choice from this list in the near future.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

I think at large Clinton destroyed this country. Weakened this country when it came to showing our nations strength! This weakness was the key ticket tyrants needed to build up their armies to once again strive for the one true goal of absolute power.

The one common thing I see among Democrat's and even some Republican's throughout the many decades is their role on national security. Keep a strong national security, but don't abuse it. Weaken the national security, and you lose it. By all means, use the national security as a threat by it's greatness in itself to protect freedom.

The only way for you guys to be right about your choices, is if we were in a world where freedom did not need to be defended. I'm sorry, but your choice of the best President in the 20th century are among the weakest.

Sorry to be so hard on ya, but it seems like everyone has ignored the history in the 20th century, and how it has changed under the many different administrations.

I still think my original post concerning the history of war and our economy must be reviewed here. Let me ask you this Ridin, Do you think our country is not going to suffer due to it's current National debt? I think this is the main issue here. The only reason our goverment hasn't failed financially is because our creditor can't take the house. It is like trying to sell the K mart of old as a well structured company.
Maybe I am now off topic, I don't know.

It's been almost a year since this thread has been voted/replied to. I say we "bump" it so the new users of 2006 can throw in their input.
