17. The second you walk into his home, Sagamore Hill, you are confronted with
countless dead stuffed animals. I found it offensive.

2. TR would have said that they are crooks
and that until the crook is caught, the crook is very dangerous. That is not an exact quote, but there is one that says something that is quite similar to this.

He would have thought that they must be removed from office, I know that much!

:kick:

11. A soulmate? If I'm reading ZINN correctly
ZINN says in A People's History of the U.S. that Teddy was a racist and was gung ho for imperialist wars.

16. yes, Roosevelt was an imperialist when it came to foreign policy
but he enacted a lot of domestic reforms that helped take the edge of anarcho-capitalism.

As far as Zinn is concerned, I love him, but sometimes its hard to take seriously a person who believes that every action of our country, including World War II, was a product of American imperialism.

14. he was pissed when his man Taft became too conservative and created
the Bull Moose party. He would probably have apoplectic fits if he saw what happened to his party (except when it came to foreign policy).
