      Andrew Johnson is definitely in the top 5 of worst presidents ever. He more or less single-handedly kneecapped any punitive action - via official government or culturally - against the confederacy, which was deeply, sorely needed. Instead, all that slaver shit was left to fester for over a century and a half.

    Which Bible — Catholic? Protestant? Mormon? Torah? Which part of the Bible — old or New Testament? Does Leviticus count? If so, then no more cotton polyester blends for you! Old Testament? No more bacon! Maybe abortion is legal again if your spouse cheats on you.(Numbers 5:11-31)
