Wilson by a hundred miles. Reagan shouldn't be on this list.
The deficit? The War on Drugs? Social collectivism? Foreign interventionism on a scale greater than Vietnam? How utterly libertarian!
Why isn't Abe Lincoln who obliterated habeus corpus on this list or John Adams who passed the draconian Alien and Sedition Act? Adams even had his VP speak out against him via the 1798 Kentucky Resolution. Or Clinton for his regular foreign interventions
Because its completely constitutional for the congress to suspend habeus corpus in the case of rebellion. Authoritarian? Yes, but if its constitutional its automatically considered not authoritarian in the political discourse of the United States.
