Well, he was the product of a different era, a more “macho” culture. That aspect garners a lot of admiration today in our wimpy, pussified modern era. One thing is for sure, he would’ve hated our culture today with a passion. His assessment of the two parties, for the Democrats, he would’ve dismissed them as cowards and traitors (100% true) and the GOP as too tentative, weak-kneed and lacking in vision (no doubt he would support our international endeavors — domestically, he would’ve still been a big government type).

As for me, I preferred types like Calvin Coolidge on governing style.

I know almost nothing about Coolidge, sad to say. When it comes to the Roaring Twenties, I know about baseball and Capone, that’s about it!
