I publish this to celebrate the beauty and vitality of freedom and in homage to the wisdom of Herbert Hoover as we near the end of the 58th anniversary of his death in 1964.
That’s actually the only time I ever heard of him, outside of having to memorize them all in class.
Hoover was the original big government RINO. Hoover was to Calvin Coolidge as George Bush was to Ronald Reagan.
Yep
As Pence will NOT be to Trump.
I attended one of the very few schools in this nation named for him. Hebert Hoover Jr High.
“Hoover was the original big government RINO. Hoover was to Calvin Coolidge as George Bush was to Ronald Reagan.”
Both Bushes?
Or one more than the other? (I thought Bush 1 was OK.)

We'll just have to agree to disagree on our opinions of Bush I. In fact I was referring to Bush I because he made it his mission to undo all of Reagan's policies. He got rid of Reagan's miraculous tax cuts and raised taxes, creating a recession. He began the globalist foreign policy that every President ever since has embraced. He founded what I call the Bush wing of the GOP, others refer to as the RINOs and established his family's control over the party, to the ruin of the nation.
Likewise Calvin Coolidge was a strict Laissez-faire small government conservative who oversaw a giant period of prosperity. His VP Hoover took over with visions of establishing plans to run the government like a big machine, a great engineering marvel where he could pull all the right levers and control everything like he would be the Great and Powerful Oz. When the economy started to get soft he jumped in to try pulling this lever and that, every one making things worse until what should have been a short term panic turned into a ten year depression and destroyed the GOP in the public's mind for 20 years. Ironically Roosevelt continued and expanded on Hoover's big government policies, which no doubt further extended the depression.
