If one reads what Calvin Coolidge actually said, he would be ranked among
the best presidents, if not the very best.  That for which he is quoted now
is the goofy stuff, evidence that the nation didn't follow him.  Tragic, for
he was a great one.  Coolidge or Reagan may be the closest to an actual
libertarian president we will ever see.
