Did you like IKE

[Truthmatters]

How about it folks ?

Do you respect what Ike did in office?

Eisenhower also warned about the emerging military-industrial complex in his Chance for Peace Speech:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."

Throughout his presidency, Eisenhower preached a doctrine of dynamic conservatism.[43] He continued all the major New Deal programs still in operation, especially Social Security. He expanded its programs and rolled them into a new cabinet-level agency, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, while extending benefits to an additional ten million workers. His cabinet, consisting of several corporate executives and one labor leader, was dubbed by one journalist, "Eight millionaires and a plumber."

....

In balance, yes.

 

[Lonestar_logic]

Yes.

Ike was okay on balance.

He represents what I think of as old time Republican values.

By the standards of today's GOP brownshirts, he is a screaming socialist, of course.

The question was "Do you like Ike?", not Did you like everything Ike done while he was in office. Be specific in your question if you wish to garner specific answers and engage in honest debate. Oh wait .. that's right... honesty is foreign to you.

Nah. TM claimed that the right hates Ike in Deani-do's thread. I challenged her on it and she can't back it up. She hopes to manufacture some sort of 'proof' of her claim with a thread. The fact that she even thinks that will work is amazing.
