5. Teddy Roosevelt wouldn't want anything to do with these rethugs.

11. Absolutely not

Teddy fought against the rober-barons, the exact fuckers who run the Repuke Party. Teddy was against the monoplization of markets and a staunch conservationist. Teddy had many other great policies that would today be considered Liberal. The only thing I can right off hand think of that would stray to the right was teddy did have an imperalistic bend.

13. Lincoln even less... I expect to see his statue cry on day.

[Bluerthanblue]

7. Teddy-

not FDR- though he knew people would get confused.

[kwolf68]

[liberal renegade]

12. Do you think they have ever heard this quote?

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are
to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile,
but is morally treasonable to the American public" Teddy Roosevelt(1901-1909)

[DB1]

14. k&r this thread for that quote!!

[Zomby Woof]

16. Teddy left the Republicans in 1912

He was jingoistic with international policy, but domestically he has NOTHING in common with today's fascists.

[vaberella]

17. I figured it wasn't Franklin. As a New Yorker I support Teddy,

but Franklin was far cooler and he was non-racist.

[tokenlib]

18. Teddy was for the Estate Tax....bless his soul!!!

Felt it would prevent the establishment of an American aristocracy.... Amazing how they remember Teddy and forget so much!!!
