Born on the 4th of July

Who was the best President of the 20th Century? Many would say Ronald Reagan. While he was the greatest President of my lifetime, we should also go back a little further to a President that has fallen victim to a "lack of coverage" in our history classes.

Historians have trivialized Calvin Coolidge as a do-nothing President naïve enough to believe that "the business of America is business," and many have rated him as one of the worst of all time. However, he produced remarkable results without sacrificing our freedoms. And given that he was born on the 4th of July, there is no better time than our Independence Day to remember him.

Read the entire thing here.

Will we ever have a President like Silent Cal again? I seriously doubt it.
