When Teddy Roosevelt Banned Muslims From America
Frontpagemag.com ^ | August 18, 2016 | Daniel Greenfield

A hundred years ago, Muslims were furious over an immigration bill whose origins lay with advocacy by a headstrong and loudmouthed Republican in the White House. The anti-immigration bill offended the Ottoman Empire, the rotting Caliphate of Islam soon to be defeated at the hands of America and the West, by banning the entry of “all polygamists, or persons who admit their belief in the practice of polygamy.”

Not sure you know the meanings of any of those big words you are trying to use. Did Grampa misuse those, too?

What's the matter, kid, did you have to look up the meaning of the baby words I've used?

Why are you so obsessed with my late grandfather? Did you never have any grandparents, or where they all as horrid and stupid as you are? *snicker*

Unlike you, my family has always had excellent vocabularies and spoke/wrote proper English.

Just when I thought you finally went away for your nap, you come back to provide more insipid and banal insults, devoid of wit or substance. Your grandfather is integral to this discussion, as he told you that Teddy Roosevelt was a conservative and you believed him, without, of course, any actual knowledge or learning on your part. My third cousin twice removed told me you are an idiot.

Hey, PGA, this guy says you are "some blog" and that Teddy Roosevelt was NOT a progressive, because his grandfather told him so.

What say you to that? Was Teddy Roosevelt a progressive, or a conservative as this guy says???

Your inane, self-serving bloviations are beyond those of just your run of the mill hysteric.

Though your mordant, abjectly appalling inability to master reading comprehension might otherwise excuse your incoherent posts, I detect the masochism, which drives you to continue posting not just utter drivel, but the defamation of someone you never knew, nor could ever be the intellectual equal of. To add insult to injury, putting words in my mouth only makes you the fool; not me.

It truly would behoove you to NEVER write nor talk about subjects you neither know about,nor understand at all; kid.

At my age, I appreciate being called kid. At your age, it may be time to change your diaper. As with your previous post, you are clearly capable of stringing together a series of words the meanings of which you do not understand but to your droopy ear sound erudite. To others, it merely makes you sound like a lunatic. Which, perhaps, you are.

Arguing from the oral history handed down by a grandfather is how they did history 100,000 years ago. Now we have books and writings and contemporaneous sources, and don't need to rely on grandfathers. They have libraries now that perhaps they didn't have in your youth or your grandfather's day. You should take advantage of one and "borrow" one of their books about US history in the 1900-1920 period, and you will learn what actually happened in that time period that your grandfather misremembered.

Was it your mother, her sperm donor, teacher, priest who beat you continuously, when you were physically a child, or someone else, that gave you this predilection for arousal/enjoyment of public humiliation?

The genesis of your inability to read with any comprehention, as well as your dreadful projection complex are things that you or your doctors shall have to figure out; diddums.

Obviously a library is a place you haven't ever availed yourself of, nor are book stores. Do see if you can manage to find the book I suggested you read, as well as the by now, long out of date books about T.R. that I read long ago. It is probably out of the question that any place, near the hellhole you reside in, would have 100 year old newspapers...even ones on film, photo-copies, or disc files.

You've been here a very long time, yet have pretended to not know who Glenn Beck is and now you insinuate that I am 100,000 years old. LOL

Calling me a "lunatic" only proves that your projection complex is far worse than I originally imaged it to be, as well as you having a far lower I.Q. !

I have been advised that you are clinically insane and have been known by everyone on this forum to be for some time. I guess it has been my fortune not to have had the occasion to discover your malady lo these many years. As I was raised not to hamper the treatment of the afflicted, I will leave it to your doctors and the loony bin guards to care for your education from here on out. Adieu, my dear friend with the tortured soul.
