On a national stage it means use tactful diplomacy backed with the subtle threat of military force.

On a personal level, it means be nice but always be ready to fight, and fight hard, if you have to.

Not the best moral ideals, but not the worst either.

Don't talk very much and use a large wooden walking cane

Based TR should be quoted often I recommend the 3 part TR biography by Edmund Morris.

>Idolizing Teddy Roosevelt
>Roosevelt was the original Progressive
>Fought for change, spoke truth to power

Why are you not supporting Bernie Sanders today?

>>61018847
>modern progressives
>even close to the Bull Moose party

TR hated Dems with a passion, even though he loved his family dearly he was extremely hesitant to give FDR his blessing because he was running Democrat. TR believed in trust busting but he would have hated the idea of state dependency which is half of what Sanders advocates.

Time have changed
I suggest you speak using one of those voice box amplifiers and carry a wooden spoon.

More Teddy quotes, please.
