Yes yes but tell me, was Teddy Roosevelt weak on terror and did he hate the troops?
That's such an obviously deceitful and distorted remark.
I obviously support a populist approach, to overcome the corruption of our two-party system. And Teddy Roosevelt was the ultimate populist candidate, who rose to fame fighting in the Spanish-American war, who as president passed anti-trust bills that overcame the corporate monopolies of his time, who passed labor protection laws and child-labor laws in support of working Americans.
And when he felt his heir President Taft had sold out Republican principles, he ran as a third-party candidate against Taft in 1912, in which Roosevelt received more votes than Taft, and allowed Woodrow Wilson to replace Taft and provide an alternative.
And it's funny that you only support out great presidents when it serves your purpose, while you generally damn our presidents and national history.
For their vision and insight of how to strengthen this country and make it great, is what you condemn as "racist" when I repeat it and press for its preservation:
The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tanle of squabbling nationalities
You cannot become thorough Americans if you think of yourselves in groups. America does not consist of groups. A man who thinks of himself as belonging to a national group in America has not yet become an American.
