New audiobook release: The Life of Calvin Coolidge, by Horace Green

Today, The Life of Calvin Coolidge by Horace Green is available. If you remember not long ago I pointed out that LibriVox has the Coolidge autobiography, so it is good that both are now getting coverage on this content platform.

Calvin Coolidge is very likely the best president over the last 150 years, at least I think so. He has the unique distinction of having being the only one who has defeated both the left wing progressives, as represented by the Wilsonians, as well as the right wing progressives, as represented by the Bull Moose. After World War I, anything related to war-time centralized planning was completely dismantled. Nobody else has such a distinguished record in the modern era, it is Peak Calvin Coolidge.

Please enjoy this recorded work, and if audio books are not your thing do not forget. The provided links also contain the PDF source so all of you readers are not lost here. You also have the text and I'm happy for you to take the time learning more about the life of this wonderful man if you are so inclined.

The 1912 Progressive Party: Was it left wing progressivism or was it right wing progressivism?

People don't like to discuss progressivism. They don't like to discuss the progressive party. It doesn't really make any sense to me, these are some of the most important things we ought to be discussing.

Here is the party platform of the Progressive Party. What do you see?

One of the very first declarations is for the direct election of senators - essentially the 17th amendment. Is this left wing or right wing?

It calls for nationalizing issues out of the hands of the states. Is this left wing or right wing?

There's social justice and industrial justice. Is this left wing or right wing?

The creation of a department of labor.

The creation of a National Health Service.

A progressive income tax.

Distribution of immigrants all across the countryside, not just concentrated in the cities.

Are these things left wing or right wing?

You should read the entire platform. There are items I did not address. And if you do not want to read the party platform? You can listen to a recorded version of the entire Progressive Party platform, here.

New audiobook release: Out of the Dark, by Helen Keller

Today I'm happy to make a mention that Out of the Dark, a book written by Helen Keller, is now ready as downloadable audio.

This book is interesting in that it is where Keller describes "how I became a socialist". Some of you may find that just as curious as I do as to what her reasonings were.
