We don’t need Calvin Coolidge. We need Teddy Roosevelt.

Calvin Coolidge was a Conservative, Teddy Roosevelt was a Progressive (the source of 29th century liberalism). Neither was particularly religious, though both were practicing Christians.

I was referring to TR's willingness to fight corruption and corporate manipulation tyranny of the otherwise free market.

I was not referring to Woodrow Wilson, nor Robert LaFollet, nor FDR.

Adam Smith recognized the need for government to check greed and artifices controlling markets, I believe. I think he was a disciple of Christ, after all.
