Read RECARVING RUSHMORE, by Ivan Eland. He makes some very valid points, including the fact that our history books embrace “the war Presidents”, and ignore the men who have treated the Presidency as humble, and passive, caretakers.

Yet, the needless carnage, and destruction wrought by “the war Presidents”, Wilson, Lincoln, FDR, and LBJ, lasted long after each man left office.

Wilson may have been the absolute worst( read WILSON’S WAR, by Jim Powell ). But, the others were awful as well.

By the way, the Democrat Party of Tyler, Pierce, and Cleveland bore absolutely no resemblance to the Democrat Party of the late 20th, and 21st century.

the Democrat Party of Tyler, Pierce, and Cleveland bore absolutely no resemblance to the Democrat Party of the late 20th, and 21st century.

More or less true. However, it is still the same institution, descended lineally through all the years.

Today's GOP doesn't have a great deal in common with that of Lincoln and Grant, either.

Which begs the obvious question:

Who will they removed from Rushmore to put Zero up there? It’s only a matter of months at the rate they are canonizing him. I’m betting they’ll ax Roosevelt.
