It is remarkable that Theodore Roosevelt (TR to his friends), who has been beloved as an iconic patriot and president, would become a controversial figure today.
This unusual development is largely due to the rise of Glenn Beck. Conservatives have always had trouble with some of TR's domestic policies.

We’ve always had trouble with most of TR’s domestic policies. I know the issues of his day aren’t really homologous to the issues we face in the present, but on all of them, Roosevelt was on the side of expanding the power and reach of the federal government.
