Silent Cal is now one of my top 5 great presidents in American history. Its no wonder the left wants to keep him hidden.

They'd like to have us believe that Hoover was president during the entire 1920's and that life sucked.

Yep. You cannot believe how many people are just flat-out convinced that Hoover was POTUS for the whole of the 20’s.

These same people are also convinced that Hoover was a free marketeer, too. The look at me as tho I’m a martian when I tell them of Hoover’s wage controls and extraction of promises from corporations to not lay anyone off.

To be fair tho, many people on our end of the spectrum are ignorant of how many of the farm subsidy programs they blame on FDR actually started under Hoover.
