Don’t even have to read to rule in favor of silent Cal.

Coolidge was right about so many things. No wonder the public school commies bury his memory.

Upon taking office, Ronald Reagan found three presidential busts in the oval office. He removed FDR’s and replaced it with a bust of his favorite president, Calvin Coolidge.

Ironically, Coolidge was once the mayor of Northampton Massachusetts, possibly the bluest city in America. Give me Coolidge any day and keep (the Roosevelts, the both of them) and their clones and admirers away from office

[iowamark]

Are we talking about John Calvin again? Religion has just taken over FR!

[Sans-Culotte]

Unfortunately, the article ended up endorsing Ron Paul as Cal’s standard bearer.

Keep Cool With Coolidge

I used to be a big teddy fan, but he started a lot of stuff that didn't blow up until well after he was out of office. And it was his third party run that got us Wilson. And that is a sin that can never be forgiven.

Not even close- Coolidge.

Do the day's work. If it be to protect the rights of the weak, whoever objects, do it. If it be to help a powerful corporation better to serve the people, whatever the opposition, do that. Expect to be called a stand-patter, but don't be a stand-patter. Expect to be called a demagogue, but don't be a demagogue. Don't hesitate to be as revolutionary as science. Don't hesitate to be as reactionary as the multiplication table. Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong. Don't hurry to legislate. Give administration a chance to catch up with legislation.

Have Faith in Massachusetts as delivered by Calvin Coolidge to the Massachusetts State Senate, 1914.

Calvin ended a pretty nasty recession almost overnight by having the government NOT do a damn thing.

Silent Cal was awesome.

Lady: “I bet I can make you say more than two words.”

Coolidge: “You lose.”

TR was a follower of the British method of political executives: the executive can do anything not specifically prohibited by law. The German method of political executives: the executive can only do what is specifically provided for by law.

President and Mrs. Coolidge were each being given a tour of a modern poultry farm. Upon seeing the egg-laying facility the First Lady asked her guide, "How many times a day does the rooster perform his duty?" The guide answered, "Oh, I would have to say several dozen times a day." To which Mrs. Coolidge replied, "Tell that to the President."

Upon being told of the exchange between his wife and her guide, Mr. Coolidge asked, "Same hen?" The guide told him "Oh no, Mr. President. He performs his duty with a different hen each time." With a sly grin the President responded, "Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge."

I really think America peaked in the late 19teens to middle twenties. We’ve been costing and declining ever since.

[CapnJack]

My vote is for Calvin!

T.R. was the first obamao-lite...He's the one that applied the first marxist cut of the thousand cuts that followed...
