"The Crime of the Democrats: Andrew Jackson, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and the Destruction of the Founding Fathers' Dream" studies the activities of the opponents of the United States Constitution from its creation in 1787 through the presidencies of Barack Obama and Joseph Biden in the twenty-first century. The political history of the United States from 1788 is detailed by following the career of each president, Republican and Democrat, noting how the president is typically the leader of political activity in Washington and the dominant figure in the triumvirate of Congress, the presidency, and the courts. The careers of each president are outlined, and their accomplishments as president are rated based on four critical criteria. The presidents are then ranked according to their total scores using their performance based on these criteria.
The ranking of the presidents, based on these criteria, is then compared to other rankings by news organizations, colleges, historians, and political professionals. Public opinion surveys on the presidents are also evaluated. Any apparent bias in these surveys is noted and explained. Analysis is made of the trend in these rankings, over time, to raise or lower the ranking of particular presidents, by evaluating an average of mainstream rankings and comparing that average to the ranking developed here as well as to other non-mainstream evaluations. Particular prominent publicly available rankings are also compared directly to the ranking developed here and to a Libertarian ranking. The Libertarian ranking is also compared to this ranking. In addition to performance in specific areas of accomplishment, the presidents are compared from the standpoint of strength, their ability to stand up to opposition or criticism, and other personal qualities.
