I did want to note that TR's big government schemes were popular with citizens at the time. That's not really an excuse. It's no excuse of any kind.

As president, the duty is to uphold and defend the constitution. Not undermine it. Here is the oath that all presidents have taken:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Any person, who is a believer in progressive ideology - and that includes and it begins with Theodore Roosevelt - has lied as they mouthed that oath. Its what progressives do best: they lie. Here is the progressive constitutional oath: "To the best of the progressive ability, I will undermine, shred, assault, and subvert the Constitution of the United States."

Progressives are constitution destroyers. They are incapable of taking the oath the way a constitution protector would.

Was also a proto-NeverTrumper when he threw Taft under the buss and ran on the Bull Moose ticket.

If anybody wants on/off the revolutionary progressivism ping list, send me a message

Progressives do not want to discuss their own history. I want to discuss their history.

Summary: Reaching across the aisle means government gets bigger. Always has, always will.

Roosevelt was a Reach Across where Ryan is a Reach Around.

Also, I believe Teddy is the one who drove Blacks out of the Republican Party and into the Rat party.

Under Teddy, there was a Black Army unit that was framed in Brownsville Texas and Teddy completely messed up the investigation alienating blacks in general from Republicans and we have never gotten back that voter block.

Yeah, when the GOP is in majority, they reach across the aisle and help the dems pass their agenda....when the dems are in majority they reach across the aisle and jam a knife in the back of the gop, The GOP never learns.

I just heard our local candidate for congress in an open seat make that assinine comment about reaching across the aisle. I thought to myself, you are a jackass.

TR is responsible for getting Wilson elected, he split the GOP vote.

Up until Reagan, the GOP was the progressive party.

The Original RINO.

The first Progressive (Read: Communist) President.

He federalized public lands in direct violation of States’ Rights.

It appalls me that many conservatives revere this traitor to the Constitution.

Here's the bill with all the amendments taped on:

Sure. In retrospect giving the ICC power to set rates looks like a bad idea. Certainly, hobbling the railroads in that way after other, less regulated forms of transportation came along had a very bad effect. But if Roosevelt used the same tactics to promote a better cause, what then?

Roosevelts are a pack in inbreeds.

FDR wasn’t happy marrying his cousin.
FDR had a long-term sexual relationship with another of his cousins.
