"....I was amazed to receive such a letter. During the war 500,000 colored men and boys were called up under the draft, not one of whom sought to evade it. [As president, I am] one who feels a responsibility for living up to the traditions and maintaining the principles of the Republican Party. Our Constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens, without discrimination on account of race or color. I have taken my oath to support that Constitution...."
^President John Calvin Coolidge^
He was one cool cat.
Also, a man of very few words.
...known as "Silent Cal," a possibly apocryphal story has it that Dorothy Parker, seated next to him at a dinner, said to him, "Mr. Coolidge, I've made a bet against a fellow who said it was impossible to get more than two words out of you." His famous reply: "You lose."
Wow, another half page down!
Do you guys want to learn more about President Coolidge, or do you want to hear about someone else?
Your cries for more are nearly defening, so here it comes!
Coolidge's taxation policy was that of his Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon: taxes should be lower and fewer people should have to pay them.Congress agreed, and the taxes were reduced in Coolidge's term.In addition to these tax cuts, Coolidge proposed reductions in federal expenditures and retiring some of the federal debt. Coolidge's ideas were shared by the Republicans in Congress, and in 1924 Congress passed the Revenue Act of 1924, which reduced income tax rates and eliminated all income taxation for some two million people.They reduced taxes again by passing the Revenue Acts of 1926 and 1928, all the while continuing to keep spending down so as to reduce the overall federal debt. By 1927, only the richest 2% of taxpayers paid any federal income tax. Although federal spending remained flat during Coolidge's administration, allowing one-fourth of the federal debt to be retired, state and local governments saw considerable growth, surpassing the federal budget in 1927.
In the summer of 1927, Coolidge vacationed in the Black Hills of South Dakota, where he engaged in horseback riding and fly fishing and attended rodeos. He made Custer State Park his "summer White House". While on vacation, Coolidge surprisingly issued his terse statement that he would not seek a second full term as President in 1928: "I do not choose to run for President in 1928." After allowing the reporters to take that in, Coolidge elaborated. "If I take another term, I will be in the White House till 1933 … Ten years in Washington is longer than any other man has had it—too long!" In his memoirs, Coolidge explained his decision not to run: "The Presidential office takes a heavy toll of those who occupy it and those who are dear to them. While we should not refuse to spend and be spent in the service of our country, it is hazardous to attempt what we feel is beyond our strength to accomplish."
And there is your history lesson for the morning!
Any questions?
Woooo, almost time to go home!
Just an hour left!
Man, I hate working nights.... [Rant1]
Thanx fo da edumacation...
I was running uncontested all night... I almost had 2 whole pages all to myself!
I am humbled, but I must say.... I couldn't have done it without all the support from back home and the friends and family who brought me all this way.. If it weren't for your mother, I would have never even taken the first steps in whoring and I certainly wouldn't be where I am today!
Verily, it shall be RICHLY deserved when I have finished with thee....

Okay, that was the worse award acceptance speech ever. Don't lie to me.... It was just plain terrible, wasn't it?
I just need more practice. Maybe if I won awards more often I would be better at making acceptance speeches that don't talk about your mother so much. I should probably keep it focused on me! [Flower]
WHOA POST NUMBER 15000 IN THE POST WHORE THREAD!!!
