I am proud to be a paleo-con in the Teddy Roosevelt tradition,

You mean "National parks" environmentalist Teddy, anti business Teddy, USDA government regulation Teddy, Let's elect 'rat Wilson Teddy, or invade sovereign nations Teddy? Pfffttt! You know nothing of history either.

Actually all three. I understand history quite well. Roosevelt was not anti-business, he simply realized that the interests of business were not synonymous with the interests of the nation. As to national parks, he also preserved natural resources in order to assure a continuing domestic supply of oil, timber and steel for our national security needs. Finally, he invaded sovereign nations when it was necessary to protect American strategic interests. He was a true nationalist and patriot.
