Your uncritical quoting of his story that the Navy asked for his resignation because he wanted to preach the gospel implies that all of the chaplains who haven't been asked to resign from the Navy either do not care to preach the gospel or have submitted to Navy censorship...
...this quiet level Tom Dewey had opened his campaign.

Such, to him, is the logical end of "interventionist" economics, whether it bears the label of "liberalism," "progressivism," "New Dealism," or what...
