Actually, Harding's policies ended a great depression started by Wilson, and Hoover and FDR caused the great depression, not Harding.

Harding achieved lower unemployment than Clinton did, but few liberals want people to believe otherwise, and most Republicans today aren't conservative like Harding was so they don't care.

Harding's policies were pretty different from George W Bush's, so I don't get why so many liberals don't realize that Bush policies cause bad economies not the policies of Harding.

Harding should be considered a savior of our republic because he defended our sovereignty by refusal to bow to the foreign flag of the LoN/UN. If we had joined the League of Nations, we probably wouldn't exist today.

I've often wondered whether Nazi Germany, the Holocost and WWII would have even occurred (the European theater at least) if the League of Nations was not torpedoed by isolationists. I've never seen any serious academic studies on it.

And for the OP's most recent assertion that FDR was a cause of the Great Depression, his fantasies conveniently ignore the irrefutable facts that the Great Depression began with the stock market crash of October, 1929 and were made infinately worse by Hoover's contraction of the US government spending immediately thereafter leading to the collapse of many US banks. FDR was elected in November, 1932 and took office in March, 1933-well after the Depression was already in full swing.

In many ways OP is a very confused child echoing the rallying crys of the neocons who he claims to despise.

I like how you didn't even bother to address all the basic factual errors in your original post and decided to make a whole load of new ones instead.

Seriously, stop posting. You're extremely stupid.
