the overlooked greatness of calvin coolidge

Outside of the religious realm, there are other absolute truths that the liberal intelligentsia just refuses to acknowledge. The above link illustrates a few of those truths:

1. Conservatism is superior to liberalism because conservatism is based on truth and liberalism is based on fiction.
2. When given a clear choice at the ballot box, the American people will overwhelmingly choose principled conservatism over fog-headed liberalism every day of the week, and twice on Sunday. MEMO TO GOP: Quit screwing around with all of these flaky moderates, and put up a principled conservative to take on whoever the Dems trot out there! CONSERVATISM WINS!
3. Calvin Coolidge, the very embodiment of Christian conservatism, was one of the most popular presidents America has ever had. Look at this quote from the article linked above:

No wonder that after assuming the Presidency upon Harding’s death in 1923, he won a crushing landslide victory in 1924—beating his Democratic opponent (the colorless John W. Davis) by nearly 2 to 1 in the popular vote (15.7 million votes to 8.4 million votes) and nearly 3 to 1 in the electoral college (382 votes to 136 votes, with 13 electoral votes for Third Party candidate “Fighting Bob” LaFollette).

Do you know why "Silent Cal" was so popular? He cut taxes 4 times, and cut the tax rates more sharply than any other president in the 20th Century other than Pres. Reagan. He cut the national debt by over one-third and the nation had a budget surplus every year he was in office. Coolidge was a man of Christian faith and integrity, and a majority of Americans responded to him. He believed in the free market, and was a supply-sider 60 years before Reagan. History proves both presidents correct, and the American people responded positively.

Do you want a blueprint for running a successful presidential campaign, and for winning 60% of the popular vote? Show America that you love and fear God. Show America that your Christian faith makes a difference in your life and that you are a man (or woman) of integrity. Promise America that you will slash taxes across the board, and that you will eliminate wasteful government programs. Promise America that you will do whatever it takes to safeguard our national security. Make the following words by Coolidge your creed:

"It is only those who do not understand our people, who believe our national life is entirely absorbed by material motives. We make no concealment of the fact that we want wealth, but there are many other things we want much more. We want peace and honor, and that charity which is so strong an element of all civilization. The chief ideal of the American people is idealism."

This is the recipe for success!
