the ultra right wingers he had to pacify and keep in the party ... They were slimey then and are slimey now.

Examples? How did he pacify them? By building the Interstates? By appointing Warren as Chief Justice? By endorsing Brown v Board of Ed and by backing up the decision with federal troops? No, according to you, he caved into those meanies by inserting "Under God" in the Pledge. Absolutely amazing how Ike capitulated. Good grief.

Ike didn't capitulate. he tossed them some lagniappe. Every president does it for party political reasons. That does not make it less odious. They didn't have enough power to force a capitulation on any major issue.
