The older I get and the more my study of mid-20th century history gets divorced from all the, "Pop History," that got me burnt out on it (I also grew up in the shadow of Fort Polk and am the 8th generation of my family to call the area home, so you could say I spent a little time around WW2 fanatics and veterans) and treat it the same way I do most historical eras I get into (i.e. look into the primary sources and tell people to take their academic takes and shove 'em until after I've read the primary sources) more and more I am convinced that Eisenhower might actually be not just one of the greatest men to ever live but also one of the greatest American generals and presidents all in one. Not even just that: he is also, simultaneously, the most fucking underrated and for no real reason whatsoever. I suspect it's because in an era of flashy personalities he gets forgotten as a staunch pragmatist. But Eisenhower got results. Eisenhower lead the largest military coalition in world history in one of the most decisive conflicts and lead it to victory at that.

As for Mao, he was following the Communist Manifesto to the tee. Communism is an extreme ideology in itself. “Plow the fields” “abolish all private property”(both direct quotes from the Manifesto). Exactly what Mao did so yes he was embodying state Communism and all the authoritarianism that comes with it. As for Radicals, they are the only people who are confident and willing to ACT. I bet you didn’t even watch the whole 2 minutes if that video, you probably think that you are “too educated” to be lowered to the level of a “radical” like Malcom X. It is funny how tou still defend what you learned in Public School. Try some HL Mencken: “The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.” Bet you haven’t listened to more than 5 minutes of Malcom X speaking.

What I love about the manner in which President Eisenhower delivered his speech, is that it is clearly delivered by a man who understands perfectly how to act under orders, without any rebellion. To him, he was fulfilling the order in a submissive manner that is required by law, completely free from any person notion he may have had. Like a good soldier.

There’s something about those years Ike was President. The world was a much simpler place. Sometimes it’s sad to think how far we’ve come.

A truly great President. This was back in the days of the United States being at its peak greatness. Sad to see those days are now long gone with leaders like Bush, Obama and Trump.

Peak greatness - mobs of people were losing their minds bc a handful of black teenagers were trying to attend the local high school. McCarthyism was destroying the lives of normal Americans, specifically Jews and Progressives. Lynching was still a common practice in the south. We and the USSR were rapidly expanding our nuclear arsenal, et cetera. Progress Breeds Happiness.

I love Eisenhower, he was a great man doing the right thing. That said, it's funny he chose to start this address by evoking the name of 3 Presidents, 2 of which were perhaps the most overtly racist men to ever hold the office.

Great leadership.

The best thing about this speech is that you have no idea what his personal views are of integration. He is stoically representing his office and providing leadership and guidance to the nation. Everything these days is emotional proclamation and activism… we need leadership like this again. Without strong leadership, the citizens get lost.

My gosh. So much of what he's talking about is still relevant today.

To me one major difference say between the near aristocratic foreign (i.e. British) generals and Eisenhower was that he, as a kid, growing up on the plains was acquainted with manual work and understood it's shaping influence regarding on the ground, real world decisions and consequences.

He was a general, a leader of men. He was a brilliant ambassador - think of his ability to keep together the grand alliance that destroyed Hitler. But he was also ruthlessly determined, and cool headed. He was a gentleman and a warrior. The only great leader to see the inside of a concentration camp, and to realise that Stalin was a bad as Hitler. He protected the free world when it was most at risk. And he did it with calm self assuredness. He was magnanimous, JFK called him 'General' and asked his advice over Cuba when he became president, despite being on opposite sides of politics. His secret was no secret at all - he was just a morally true man, who did what he believed was right. That didn't mean he was always right. But it did mean he believed in what he was trying to do, and people knew he was sincere. And he hated authoritarianism with a passion. The 20th century threw up some loathesome pieces of human garbage - Hitler, Tojo, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao to name a few. We had Roosevelt, Churchill and Eisenhower. We were lucky.

General Eisenhower was a "HOSS" ! from way back! He was one of the ORIGINAL O.G." A man of his time, but also extremely dedicated to his service, both as a dedicated United States Army General Officer 👏 💪 , and as a two term PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICAN POTUS

Lol I when to central high school. I’ve even met one of the Little Rock 9 at the museum right across the street from the school.

Eisenhower means "iron worker" in german

No president wants to send troops against citizens, and Eisenhower did not relish doing this, but he was a strong leader, an honorable man and he saw his duty and did it!

The true greatness of Eisenhower was managing to direct a way to achieve this progress within the framework of anti-communism which most people agreed with. While it is true he did not achieve everything he could have, this definitively proves his intentions were good.

In these all in or all out times of hype the slightest sign of racism he would be considered a closet racist. He said "the house of Wilson" and Princeton has disavowed Woodrow Wilson as a racist. He didn't immediately send troops to Little Rock because he didn't completely believe in desegregation. “He wasn't that enthusiastic about the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision and equivocated in public,” said John A. Kirk, a history professor at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and author of Beyond Little Rock: The Origins and Legacies of the Central High Crisis. Eisenhower was more concerned with how the US would look from a Cold War perspective, and that his orders to the governor to protect their entrance were disobeyed.

I am a liberal Democrat... I would have not only voted for Ike, but would have whole-heartedly supported him as a US citizen. When the president is a decent person with intelligence and competence I can overlook policy differences. When will the GOP return from it's current insanity to this kind of leadership?

Eisenhower was the last best Republican president. Better than Reagan even.

I was raised a FDR Democrat but later became a General Eisenhower Republican- I mean he is the last 5 Star General to hold office others of course being Grant,Washington,Hayes,Harrison,Garfield but don’t think there was 5 star ranking during their times

Eisenhower was a great President for his time and an inspiring down to earth person. The good part was that integration of schools took place but 60 years on the American public school system is ranked 27 th in the world, way down from much poorer countries such as Lithuania and Romania. A shambles. Rich Americans of all races send their kids to private schools thus furthering a new segregation. Figure that one out.

Segregation between people of different incomes is bound to happen. It’s just a problem between the haves and the haves not. And that’s good, as it drives competition that would lift more and more people out of poverty if they put in the effort. The difference between that segregation and the segregation of the past was that, as you said yourself, that people of all races can be rich. Back in the day, they don’t care if you’re rich or not, blacks and whites must be separate as if you’re sorting out laundry. Also, you seem to blame segregation alone for America’s falling ranking in education. You seem to ignore that many of those school systems that are better than America’s are also very much integrated themselves and didn’t segregate based on race. There are at least many other factors to blame before pointing out how integration was a failure. After all, it’s been 60 or so years since schools are being ordered to integrate. Unless you’re a third world country, there’s no reason for you to suck for 60 years.
