President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 11/8/54

Historical Quote of the Day
"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 you can do these things. Among them are few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."

-- President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 11/8/54. Quote found by David Sirota.

4. 1954 was a high/low year for Eisenhower quotes

The one you give is a highpoint. Here you can see a lowpoint:

"millions of our schoolchildren will daily proclaim in every city and town. . . the dedication of our nation and our people to the Almighty."

Thanks, Dwight. By these stilted, commie-phobic words you managed to entrench decades' worth of santimony, culminating in a wave of regressive anti-intellectualism whose center is Crawford, TX and whose circumference is on every channel of the MSM.

6. Can't win em all!

7. True enough!

Alas, but lately it's seemed that we can lose 'em all if we're not careful.
