                             Guess the Dictator!

Another reason I'm not overly worried about this upcoming election [1] is
because we've been through this all before (and muddled through somehow):

> The Dictator XXXXXXX invaded XXXXXXXXX without the consent of Congress, as
> called for in the Constitution; declared martial law; blockaded XXXXXXXX
> ports without a declaration of war, as required by the Constitution;
> illegally suspended the writ of habeas corpus; imprisoned without trial
> thousands of XXXXXXXX anti-war protesters, including hundreds of newspaper
> editors and owners; censored all newspaper and telegraph communication; …
> ordered Federal troops to interfere with XXXXXXXX elections to assure
> XXXXXXXXXXX Party victories; deported XXXX Congressman XXXXXXX X.
> XXXXXXXXXXXX for opposing his domestic policies … on the floor of the House
> of Representatives; confiscated private property, including firearms, in
> violation of the Second Amendment; …
>

Now, the question I have for you is … which American President is this
talking about?

 1. Franklin Roosevelt
 2. Abraham Lincoln
 3. Lyndon Johnson
 4. Richard Nixon

Two from each party, all war time Presidents. Take your time, for I suspect
that most Americans will be surprised with the real answer [2], given how bad
history is actually taught here in the States.
