This is an incredible read! If only someone would speak like this today!
In high school.
I should mention these are excerpts here,,, I read the whole thing. I have been interested in President Wilson and what came after him. Knew nothing about Coolidge.
President Wilson was really, really bad. Funny how things repeat. He had the first community organizers,, 250,000 strong, based in 600 cities, working for the FBI, going around and beating people up. It was actually illegal to speak against the government through the sedition act.
But,, you know what,, we got through it, and good Republicans came and restored the nation.
History is really full of surprises.
God bless “Silent” Cal. He was the last great President.
Coolidge has a lot to offer conservatives. He was spot on as regards adherence to originalist philosophy and always steered towards “least gov’t is best gov’t”. Also, read up on his run as Governor of Mass.
In my college days, I knew an old guy who was a bit of a Wilsonian pinko. I used to get into great debates with him because I’m a huge Coolidge fan and he absolutely had Coolidge Derangement Syndrome.
