My Grandfather Was an 'Eisenhower Republican'

My grandfather was an avid “Eisenhower Republican” as were/are many of my uncles in Virginia. Listening to this speech, I could be too. I try to  imagine it coming from our Republican party leaders today and my imagination fails me. I fear this speech is too far from what could be a reality in recent times.

If you disagree, name someone leading the Republican party today who has aligned himself/herself with these statements.

If you agree or disagree, read or listen then comment on their warning and where we are today.

Eisenhower’s warning of Military Expansion.
