    That’s a pretty cool find, Lance. I knew Coolidge had a reputation for shrinking government, but I don’t know much else about him. After brushing up at Wikipedia, he reminds me in many ways of Fred. Same sort of federalism; same attitude towards taxes and growth; same attitude towards farm subsidies; even a pretty similar campaigning style (which, ironically, suggests that Coolidge couldn’t be elected today, seeing as how he didn’t want it enough).

    Anyway, good find.

    Coolidge has always been one of my favorite presidents. I didn’t realize there were any movie recordings of him. Awesome to see.

    He had other virtues as well. In an era when his political opponents, Wilson, Roosevelt, had decidedly atavistic views on race, Coolidge was in the fine tradition of early Republicans.

    What was with that opening image? It looked awesome, but there is something sinister about having a bunch of elfish women and some goat playing a flute in the background of a presidential speech.

    Maybe LaRouche was right… :)
