Who Am I?

I am under 45 years old,
I love the outdoors,
I hunt,
I am a Republican reformer,
I have taken on the Republican Party establishment,
I have many children,
I have a spot on the national ticket as vice president with less than two years in the governor's office.

Did you guess?

I am Teddy Roosevelt in 1900

As to CMH, it was awarded in 2001, 100 years after the events in the citation. Compared to what other recipients did to earn the medal he got it cheap.

How incredibly uninformed you are.

Have a nice day.

How about addressing the issue or answering the questions I raised?

Should we only elect people who Muslim fanatics will find acceptable?

Why not just elect a Muslim man if this is your mindset?

Do you consider negotiation the highest ideal, and is negotiation best conducted by immediate capitulation to your foes as to who you will allow to do the negotiating?

Nope, you are twisting.

>>>and Rice speaks on behalf of the US Just as Vice president Palin will speak on behalf on the US<<<<

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2074539/posts?page=4#4
I specifically stated I was speaking on the POTUS issue.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2074539/posts?page=15#15
Clafified here Rice isn’t CIC

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2074539/posts?page=20#20
Emphasized at post 20 that Rice is in a different position

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2074539/posts?page=21#21
Emphasized again here that I was speaking on CIC specifically

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2074539/posts?page=27#27
Clarified AGAIN that I was speaking about the CIC position

>>>are you so brainwashed by muslim men that you think a woman can not be respected?

It is their culture with their rules. It has nothing to do with brainwashing. It is how large amounts of the men do business.

Thanks. I’m actually reading about this Kirkpatrick woman in another browser and feeling better about the situation.

You did not address the issue, you merely claimed it was an issue, not one we imposed, but a “real” issue.

Wow! What insight. How do we deal with the issue? You seem to favor capitulation to Muslim sensibilities so that they will never have to be confronted with their prejudices. This is not something I favor.

>>>You did not address the issue, you merely claimed it was an issue,

I sure did. I said, “Showing strength to 3rd world countries has nothing to do with copting to their morals.”

I was not advocating capitulation to anyone. You are creating that. So you be my guest and argue with yourself.

“Showing strength to 3rd world countries has nothing to do with copting to their morals.”

Co-opting? “To take or assume for one’s own use; appropriate”

So is sending a woman and telling them “talk to her or pound sand!” showing strength more or less than “We know you don't like talking to women so we sent a man instead and we hope that the fact he is an infidel pork eater doesn't offend your sensibilities”?

Which shows strength and which is capitulation to their prejudices?

I have no idea why you think our Presidential or Vice Presidential choices should be dictated to us by misogynist Islamic idiots, nor are you interested in explaining why you apparently think this “is an issue”.

TR’s “trust busting” was relatively moderate when compared to the FTC of today. Besides, it was “rock ribbed Republican” Taft who was more aggressive at breaking the “money trust” in action, something few people remember.

Well, there was that thing about TR’s running a 3rd party campaign on the Progressive Party (Bull Moose Party) ticket. He split the Republican vote, which threw the 1912 election to Democrat Wilson.

That sort of thing happens when one cannot defend their position. They suddenly find they have no desire to continue the conversation.

Mid East men view women as haram. How does that work?

It works very well, it will completely throw them off their guard.

Ask Barack Hussein Obama.
