89. Sorry, it was about Christianity

“In these days when imperialistic and materialistic communism seeks to attack and destroy freedom, it is proper to remind all of us of this self-evident truth that as long as this country trusts in God, it will prevail.”
— President Eisenhower, 1956 (same year he signed off on the change to the motto and money)

My point in all this is I'm tired of the idolization of historical figures and uncomfortable need to turn them into something they are not.
I am also NEVER going to compliment a Republican about anything. All Republicans are scum. All of them.
