He was a progressive thinker during his era, something needed at that period of time. However, his thinking generally evolved into common good, not like the thinking of today's 'progressives' which divides us, promotes murder, and abominations.
As for the Nobel he won, he actually earned it:
"On December 10, 1906, Theodore Roosevelt became the first American to win a Nobel Prize. Roosevelt was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work surrounding the Treaty of Portsmouth, which ended the Russo-Japanese War."
So, to you living in 2016, do you think Roosevelt would be proud of what his World Court has become?
Hardly. If the author of this piece knew anything about the man at all, he'd at least know this.
Finally, like the rest of us, TR was just a man, he made mistakes, but a great man nonetheless.
