I’ll need to research into why President Eisenhower never repealed FDR’s New Deal.

Plus, I’m sad to hear that Eisenhower calls me “stupid” for wanting to abolish Communist-style social welfare programs.

He's not calling you (and me) stupid for wanting to abolish them. He's merely, and correctly, pointing out political reality. Repealing Prohibition is not the same thing. Giving back is popular especially, when everyone was doing it anyway. Taking away is unpopular. Once you put these people on this, you cannot take it away.

It doesn't give me any joy whatsoever to realize this, in fact, I hate it. It's simply fact. Look around you at the people who inhabit this country. Eisenhower was correct.

It's very simple. Eisenhower was NOT a conservative on domestic issues. Eisenhower never opposed the New Deal and liked Roosevelt personally. The two had met head to head and communicated by other means quite a number of times, as Roosevelt was General Eisenhower's commander-in-chief when Eisenhower had command of all Allied forces in Europe during WWII.

Eisenhower was publicly apolitical, as career military officers were traditionally trained to be, up until 1952, when he announced as a Republican candidate for President. Until then, there was speculation that he might run as a Democrat.
