Was Eisenhower a bleeding heart liberal?

In this spring of 1953 the free world weighs one question above all others: the chance for a just peace for all peoples.





To weigh this chance is to summon instantly to mind another recent moment of great decision. It came with that yet more hopeful spring of 1945, bright with the promise of victory and of freedom. The hope of all just men in that moment too was a just and lasting peace.





The 8 years that have passed have seen that hope waver, grow dim, and almost die. And the shadow of fear again has darkly lengthened across the world.





Today the hope of free men remains stubborn and brave, but it is sternly disciplined by experience. It shuns not only all crude counsel of despair but also the self-deceit of easy illusion. It weighs the chance for peace with sure, clear knowledge of what happened to the vain hope of 1945.





In that spring of victory the soldiers of the Western Allies met the soldiers of Russia in the center of Europe. They were triumphant comrades in arms.

I hated his unprecedented property grab for the interstates.

Reply:Eisenhower saw a lot of people die and he didn't want it to happen again.
Reply:What liberal arts college did you get your question from ?, he did some good things and some poor things, but liberal bleeding heart ? I highly doubt it. Someone complained about his getting the national highways going, well I would wager the same post, would be yelling his head off if we didn't have them, maybe he just didn't have the land that was bought up. He also {Ike} complained about the industrial-military complex and if it weren't there, well where would we be now ? ? ?
Reply:To answer your question, the answer is 'NO'. As for the rest it's little more than poetic gibberish. Good gibberish though I must say!
Reply:A bleeding heart liberal REPUBLICAN?...might as well tell me Unicorns exist.
Reply:He wanted peace and no nuclear weapons. He was a moderate Republican.
Reply:No. Odd why people copy someone else's words but don't put them in quotes or give the author credit.
Reply:my how you go on and on and say nothing. What a talent!


Regarding 1945, I was there, Patton was right we had the chance to destroy Russia and old socialist F.D.R. and Dwight said no, and we paid the consequences.
