Calvin Coolidge was an actual conservative....
Trump is not...
Silent Cal vs. Orange Crush?!...Nah.
A Conservative, a man of few words, who believed in a Constitutionally limited Executive and was supposedly Reagan’s model President? Yeah, not so much.
Now, FDR OTOH...
No
No. Coolidge was a sincere Christian. He also respected the limitations of government as stated in the constitution.
Trump who has committed adultery and apparently not regretful (remember he couldn’t think of anything he would need God to forgive him?) is not a sincere Christian.
Trump’s comments also lead me to think he doesn’t mind big government if it was done right.
Thus, he is no Calvin Coolidge.
You never seem to learn...
Wake up and smell the bacon, sister!
So you won’t vote for a sinner? Good luck with that.
Most assuredly not.
Calvin Coolege was not a vulgar, flamboyant, liar. He was a Conservative
They didn’t call him silent Cal for nothing.
He was a good president, in his own way.
What's have I not to learned ?
Calvin Coolidge was one of our most conservative Presidents...
Donald Trump claims he's a conservative, but so far all we have is his word and not one iota of actual evidence he is a conservative...
Teach me O'wise one...
Nobody would ever take a bet that someone could make Trump say three words.
The Tariff
We reaffirm our belief in the protective tariff to extend needed protection to our productive industries. We believe in protection as a national policy, with due and equal regard to all sections and to all classes. It is only by adherence to such a policy that the well being of the consumers can be safeguarded that there can be assured to American agriculture, to American labor and to American manufacturers a return to perpetrate American standards of life.
A protective tariff is designed to support the high American economic level of life for the average family and to prevent a lowering to the levels of economic life prevailing in other lands.
In the history of the nation the protective tariff system has ever justified itself by restoring confidence, promoting industrial activity and employment, enormously increasing our purchasing power and bringing increased prosperity to all our people.
The tariff protection to our industry works for increased consumption of domestic agricultural products by an employed population instead of one unable to purchase the necessities of life. Without the strict maintenance of the tariff principle our farmers will need always to compete with cheap lands and cheap labor abroad and with lower standards of living.
The enormous value of the protective principle has once more been demonstrated by the emergency tariff act of 1921 and the tariff act of 1922.
We assert our belief in the elastic provision adopted by congress in the tariff act of 1922 providing for a method of readjusting the tariff rates and the classifications in order to meet changing economic conditions when such changed conditions are brought to the attention of the president by complaint or application.
We believe that the power to increase or decrease any rate of duty provided in the tariff furnishes a safeguard on the one hand against excessive taxes and on the other hand against too high customs charges.
The wise provisions of this section of the tariff act afford ample opportunity for tariff duties to be adjusted after a hearing in order that they may cover the actual differences in the cost of production in the United States and the principal competing countries of the world.
We also believe that the application of this provision of the tariff act will contribute to business stability by making unnecessary general disturbances which are usually incident to general tariff revisions.
So there you go. Classic conservatism Not neo con
Exactly...
Truly amazing more Freepers cannot see that...
Historically speaking, how anyone can even think Trump is like Calvin Coolidge boogles the mind...
I get the Trump support, but this over the top false projection of who Trump is....ridiculous...
In short, no.
No. Stupid question.
Everyone is a sinner. Some are repentant. Some aRe unrepentant.
Let’s not pretend we don’t know the difference.
He espouses large government.
