Eisenhower rubber stamped FDR’s kicking the Constitution to the curb and give us instead a government that can do as it may because it says so.
As a general he was great.
But that misdeed alone makes him as bad as FDR as a POTUS.
And also worse than the general he disparages.
Again: the government as an ongoing concern in all it’s illegal abuses is NOT what he swore an oath to uphold and protect, but it is what he chose to honor over what he swore in vain to uphold and protect.
Reread my post please. Eisenhower was a great fan of General Lee and kept Lee's portrait in his office.
"From deep conviction, I simply say this: a nation of men of Lee’s calibre would be unconquerable in spirit and soul. Indeed, to the degree that present-day American youth will strive to emulate his rare qualities, including his devotion to this land as revealed in his painstaking efforts to help heal the Nation’s wounds once the bitter struggle was over, we, in our own time of danger in a divided world, will be strengthened and our love of freedom sustained."
