History fail. Ford ran as a "Peace Candidate" in 1918, and was strongly in favor of the League of Nations. So clearly he was a peacenik and a one-world government Freemason.
I don't think modern American right-wingers have any notion of how extreme they've become. Nixon passed Title 9 and founded the EPA, Reagan raised taxes and gave amnesty to millions of illegals, Teddy Rosevelt broke up corporations, etcetera. All of the heroes of the past would have be considered RINOs today. In fact, measured against President Obama's rather tepid response to the financial industry's riot of corruption, they would be considered socialists.
And don't get me started on Jesus of Nazareth, who gave out free healthcare and wouldn't shut the hell up about poor people. You would have hated him.
