Why we need another Coolidge presidency. The man had that common sense brilliance that America lacks today.

One of the first things Ronald Reagan did when he became president was to get Calvin Coolidge's portrait out of storage and hang it in the White House.

He liked "Silent Cal."

Too many people don’t want a president anymore. They want a dictator in all but name who will give them goodies and tell them to behave like the immature adults they are.

I guess if you want another Great Depression than a new Coolidge is the way to go.

Coolidge was the last real President of the United States. All those that followed were connected to or controlled by the political aristocracy.

Next came the Kansan Alf Landon, Franklin Roosevelt’s opponent in 1936. Landon ran on a platform only slightly less ambitious than Roosevelt’s — New Deal Lite — and lost.

Landon mounted a lackluster and disorganized campaign. He wasn't quite New Deal Lite, but he wasn't going to win whatever he did.

This is a show biz country nowadays and it expects its leader to be some kind of showman or movie star. Somebody as quiet and self-effacing as Coolidge won't be elected president any time soon.
