ping for later reading. I’m pleased to see such an article.
One of my favorite Presidents of the 20th century.
One parallel is that Coolidge and Reagan both had a solid understanding of Economics. They knew how wealth is created and preserved. Reagan is probably the only President to have had a degree in Economics.
No grammarian here and certainly no expert on commas but it looks to me as if the lack of one changes the meaning of what the author is trying to convey.
"They both were above all, men of character.", would make more sense to me.
What a terrific article, thank you!!!
Who is the Harding we have to elect to get Coolidge?
You mean the guy that was the mayor of LGBT Mecca Northampton, MA?
The Left fought Walker in WI, would fight him in the general, and would fight him against Jeb.
But to the present, he’s seen as far preferable to Cruz, the likely other “conservative alternative” in the GOP primaries.
Is that so hard to understand?
Sad but true. Last year I walked over the Calvin Coolidge Bridge leading into that architecturally beautiful, but internally sick, town. A defaced plaque on the bridge is all that remains of Coolidge’s legacy.
It made me sad.
On a happier note, I encourage visitors to western MA to visit the Norman Rockwell Museum. Wonderful.
Thanks for that link. I live in a major university town and the inability to think critically is rampant among many of the so called educated. The “discussion” about the erosion of “church-state” on the video is classic, so vapid - and they just could not keep from dragging W into it. They appear calm, but the hatred boils just beneath the surface.
There is some stuff at the town hall.
I have been to his family home in Plymouth Vt, which is quaint.
I worked in Northampton for years and I was surprised to find so little info about him in town. They just re-built the bridge a few years ago. It’s a real pain in the ass to get to Amherst over that bridge. It’s as if God is sending a message that you really don’t want to go there.
ROFLOL. Anyone who has worked for or met the Kochs know they are many, many things. GOPe? That’s not one of them.
On immigration they sure are.
Pure crony capitalists looking for cheap labor.
unless of course he doesn’t
Unless he closes the border
No. YOU see Cruz as preferable to Walker and have made the leap that Walker must be a liberal in conservative clothing.
Walker has a clear track record. You avoid discussing that track record because it shows you are wrong. Walker leads and implements conservative policies.
You cannot show me one thing Walker put in place that was not a conservative solution.
I like Cruz also. But he is not going to be the nominee. This nation does not want another first-term senator with no leadership experience.
Cruz can do far more good by helping keep the senate more conservative-minded. He is young. He should run for governor of Texas and then for POTUS.
If Walker picked Cruz as VP, I would be thrilled.
But love of Cruz does not give you the right to FABRICATE problems with Walker. That is the circular firing squad tactics that allowed Romney and McCain the nomination.
Not this time.
RE: Walker would let in, legalize, and give citizenship to so many Leftist Latin voters that he’d end forever any hope of smaller government would be forever gone.
How was Calvin Coolidge on immigration?
I’ve not fabricated a bit about Walker. He’s been an outspoken advocate of legalizing and providing citizenship to illegals here currently—and simply letting anyone “from Mexico or any other country” who wants to immigrate do so so easily legally that they wouldn’t bother entering illegally.
No, Cruz isn’t a perfect candidate and he doesn’t have a perfect record on immigration either.
But this is the one killer issue that would kill any chance of future conservative majorities in this country. Given that, it doesn’t really matter how conservative Walker has governed on the county or state level.
Which he has clearly stated he doesn’t want to do.
But even legalizing all those here would do in the country, as they would become citizens and by chain migration triple in number to 60M+ new, primarily, low-skill, government-dependent, Leftist voters from Latin America.
