Why isn't Milliard Fillmore considered one of the greatest presidents ever?

[FreedomFighter]

Federal government had a surplus every year he was in office. So did Harding and Coolidge in the 20's but they're never considered one of the great presidents. But the war-mongers like Wilson and Truman are looked more highly upon by historians.

That`s interesting.It`s kind of like that most people have never heard of Marine Major General Smedley Butler either.

It makes me doubt everything I was taught about american history.

It wouldn't make sence for the puppet masters to bring to light the truth. WHY, its abosulte proof the Gov under proper exective supervison can be controlled.

YA, freebird, I'm a fan of this man also.
Marine Major General Smedley Butler, I'd love to see his history and remarks go public.

I can dream can't I??

actually, it makes me glad i didn't name my children smedley or millard or skeeter or some name people snicker when they hear.   if you want history to remember you drop the goober name.

but seriously thanks for the heads up about a little known president. i'm on it.  and freebird, are you serious? everything they taught us about american history was bogus.
