As much as I have been hammering the republicans for their deficits, lack of leadership, treason, corruption, lies, and dirty politics, I realize that the dems are not much different. This is obviously just a glimmer of what goes on in that world (a few of you are intertwined in it).
I hope that one day we return to the days of Camelot (American Camelot that is), and can have top intelligent and honest people running this country and state. As it is, I believe that we are at best in the middle of barrel and I fear that we are perhaps skimming the bottom.
Call me a cynic, but when was the American Camelot? George Washington times maybe?
Read the phamplets put out then. We’re talking Rush Limbaugh level of screeching at each other.
It’s people and so it’s really messy.
I just can’t think of a time when American politics (or any nation’s politics for that matter) was clean and pure….Camelotian.
In fact, come to think of it, was Camelot all that nice politically or was the whole “Sorry your Highness, but I kind of slept with your wife” thing a none issue?
I tend to subscribe to the academia belief that JFK was it. Of course, I also tend to think that Eisenhower was part of that group. All in all, great progress was made in America and the world during those times. In addition, we were not quite so dirty. Or perhaps it was that the media just did not report it as much, when you think about the likes of Hoover or how much the Chicago helped Kennedy. But compared to what we have seen since 1980, it seemed that politicians have gone downhill.
Kennedy is my favorite Dem president. I think he did a good job. Reagan was my favorite Rep, but that’s beside the point.
I honestly think that the media just didn’t report the dirty stuff as much back then. There weren’t 24 hour news services, and reports were either more controlled or more restrained.
If you like Kennedy, read “Making of the President:1960”, it’s a dang good book
Democart – FDR
Republican – Lincoln
Federalist – Washington
All 3 stand so far above the rest.
And perhaps Jefferson. He is my favorite “founding father.” He was brilliant beyond the sun, and a champion for “the people” and against federalism.
Yall are just haters!
Do you know that one? Had to do with him and the missus visiting a farm and observing how the rooster would perk right up when a new pullet came by, but not the ones he’d already bonked. The classic joke per Wikipedia:
The term comes from an old joke according to which President Calvin Coolidge and his wife allegedly visited a government farm one day and were taken around on separate tours. Mrs. Coolidge, passing the chicken pens, inquired of a supervisor whether the lone rooster was sufficient, given the many hens in the chicken flock.
“Yes”, the man said, “the rooster works very hard.”
Mrs. Coolidge then asked, “Really? The rooster works very hard? Every day?”
“Oh, yes,” the man said. “Dozens of times a day.”
“Interesting!” Mrs. Coolidge replied, “Be sure to tell that to the President!”
Some time later the President, passing the same pens, was told about the roosters – and about his wife’s remark. “Same hen every time?”, he asked.
“Oh, no, a different one each time,” the supervisor replied.
“Tell that,” Coolidge said with a sly nod, “to Mrs. Coolidge.”
Certianly has had a lasting impact. Something completely random….I think that FDR was influenced politically (to an extent) by the ultra-liberal/border line socialist governor of Louisiana, Huey P Long. Interesting character, that one….
