GOP? Social Security? ____ 63 years ago

1954

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.”

1. There's a reason Ike was courted by both parties.

He's not in much danger of being described as the greatest President, but quite a few have done quite a bit worse at the job.

2. And they were known back then as the John Birch society

and the KKK.

Today they are the "alt-right" and, well, the GOP

8. Nobody even mentions The JBS anymore

Maybe when we say Alt-right,we should qualify it as an offshoot of the JBS. They were shunned until Lee Atwater mainstreamed them for the Republican votes. I guess the Tea Party took in most of the John Birch Society.

3. The splinter has become a log.

5. Today's Repugs

...hate Ike and never mention him.

They were all born in an immaculate conception from Reagan.

6. The last real Republican....

with any honor or integrity. After Ike.............. Liars and thieves ever since.

7. . . . . Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman

Unfortunately, Ike, it now includes millions of Americans who have been duped for the past 37 years.
