***President Herbert Hoover Conservative?***

I found something about Hoover I didn’t know. During the 1901 Boxer siege of Peking and Tianjin China, Hoover and his wife were leaders instrumental in protecting Tianjin from extermination by the Boxers.

I just read the Wiki entry on Hernert Hoover. An absolutely amazing American with a lifetime of achievements well into his eighties; he put the service into public service. Also known for hunger relief in Europe in not one but two world wars. A great humanitarian.

Too bad the popular memory of Hoover is that of a failed President who brought on the Depression (this can be argued but FDR’s policies were worse).
