Calvin Coolidge Quote of the Week

It's been over two months since I've posted a Quote of the Week.  I take full responsibility for the lack of posting.  I guess that was quite obvious to you, but I thought the confession is proper. I'll try to keep on track for the foreseeable future.

This week (quarter's?) quote is from  President Coolidge speech when he accepted the GOP nomination on August 14, 1924 as talked about his philosophy of common sense and government:

"The people know the difference between pretense and reality.  They want to be told the truth.  They want to be trusted.  They want a chance to work out their own material and spiritual salvation.  The people want a government of common sense." 

I have to say the idea of common sense in policy making is attractive, don't you think?

  1. Welcome back, Mr. Wong! And I agree about common sense wholeheartedly! Now if we could only get some reps on board...
