Who was the most authoritarian U.S. President?

[Franzl]

Dubya of course.

You know....just because the Left hates him, doesn't make it true necessarily. I can't recall Dubya putting political opponents in jail, for example.

It seems obvious that Wilson wins this prize easily.

Obamaisdabest is insulting actual political opponents there. But I suppose he considers terrorists to be "political opponents" when a Republican is president...

Don't put words in my mouth, I don't agree with you either. Suspected terrorists are being held there. We have no idea how many of them are really dangerous.

That said, none of the people being held there were: a.) American citizens, b.) non-American citizens captured within the United States, c.) in any way under American judicial jurisdiction when they were captured.

It's really nothing like what Wilson did....and it's just dumb to equate the two.
