Silent Cal is now one of my top 5 great presidents in American history.
Its no wonder the left wants to keep him hidden. A 30% increase in America's per capita income. 4 massive income tax cuts in 6 years. Refusal to throw money at a massive flood....or any other tax eating hole. As governor, he broke the Boston police strike by firing them all.
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.
Calvin Coolidge, the antibama.
