Owls are cool bro. It'd be a better party animal than elephants or donkeys.

I think the Modern Whigs have the owl as their party symbol.


Presidents Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt were the Modern day Whigs.

1916 was the year that the party split came about, as WWI and neutralization stemmed the Whig movt; and the Income Tax Increase created the Torie party; which gave rise to Tea Party movement. Which name wasnt official given until 2010.

But Hughes; who still symbolized the owl, was far different than Harding and Hoover; opposition to tax increases which lead to Great Depression.

Lessons not learn from the Dubya Bush tax cuts of 2001.

When Grover Cleveland and Harding were president; when country were turning into economic hardship tax receipts were down. As country which ran huge deficots during 1920's and after 2001.

It was the raising of the tax bracket of the rich from 25-79 percent that helped pull us out of the Great Depression. By Hoover who changed his mind on this and FDR.


Same with Obama; he lifted taxes on riches Americans.

I excluded Coolidge and Teddy; the were for estate taxes. As new welfare programs for poor were installed during FDR administration.

As useless as I know it is to engage you and all your insanity, he's referring to the Modern Whigs, a current political party that does nothing.

Yeah and they idealize President Teddy Roosevelt. I know that.
