Don’t forget he instituted the patently unconstitutional National Park System and was a big player in the passage of the utterly destructive income tax.

Not impressed by Teddy Roosevelt.

Teddy Roosevelt is responsible for our entry into both World Wars, as well as every foreign entanglement since. He’s also the Godfather of today’s Environmental movement.

One of the Greatest Americans ever. Also one of the smartest.

Roosevelt’s legacy is rife with unintended consequences that are haunting us today. Yet I cannot help but think that today’s America could use more of Roosevelt’s masculine optimism and leadership.

Teddy Roosevelt was from the other branch of progressivism. He was a nationalist, whereas Woodrow Wilson was an internationalist. Conservatives have never gotten along with either branch of progressivism.

TR spoke German and actually translated some of the works of Frederick Nietzsche, which he then liberally plagiarized for his own speeches.

In Europe, with had the same split, the nationalist progressives became fascists, and the international progressives embraced communism.
