He is #5 on my list of best presidents since 1901.
Guess who is #6.
...As a starter of several pro-Eisenhower threads, there has been agreement that Eisenhower resembles nothing like any of the recent Republican presidential candidates, including George "Dubya" Bush, McCain. and Willard "Mitt" Romney.
It is hilarious how the liberal historical revisionists try to claim the great T.R. as there own.
It realy ruffles their feathers that he was a Republican.
I probably would have been a Republican back then. The only person here doing any revising is the one who is even being called on this by another Republic in this thread. Kinda pathetic, ain't it?
Would the Republican party today support someone like Eisenhower, though? He was also Republican in name...
The only RINO's are those that are trying to change the party into something it was historically not. That would be the modern crew of Republics. Those are your true RINO's. If the party has a tradition rooted in the policies of guys like Lincoln, TR and Ike, it's the folks who wish to recreate it into something else who are the "in name only" crowd.
IKE reduced the size of the government and the spending by 2/3rds what Hoover, FDR and Truman had created. He then hit all those that got rich on the military industrial machine FDR created and Truman perpetuated during and after the war, with a fat tax.
He also told the illegal alien parasites, to take a hike, or get on a slow boat to south Mexico(not just dropped off across the border)
Where as with the recent Iraq war, conservatives used it to get rich. Does anyone recall the Blackwater scandal?

Except they have, in fact, actually changed the party. The Republican presidents from Nixon and onward are NOTHING like Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, or Eisenhower.

The United States is a republic.
Are you trying to say that the entire republic is against me.
You will have a hard time supporting that assertion.
Lies?
Are you saying, T.R. was not a Progressive Republican?
Nope - I said that he was a Republican Progressive.
He was a great president.
The liberal Democrats have hijacked the term 'progressive" because they want to hide the fact that liberalism really = socialism - which according to Marx and Engels eventually morphs into communism.
Liberals hate that progressive Republicans were responsible for the 8 hr work day, women's suffrage, and civil rights.
They want people to forget that Democrats opposed all of those positive movements.
