To destroy this invisible Government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day.[239][240] This country belongs to the people. Its resources, its business, its laws, its institutions, should be utilized, maintained, or altered in whatever manner will best promote the general interest. This assertion is explicit... Mr. Wilson must know that every monopoly in the United States opposes the Progressive party... I challenge him... to name the monopoly that did support the Progressive party, whether... the Sugar Trust, the US Steel Trust, the Harvester Trust, the Standard Oil Trust, the Tobacco Trust, or any other... Ours was the only program to which they objected, and they supported either Mr. Wilson or Mr. Taft[241]
Teddy's mother, Martha Bulloch Roosevelt grew up on a plantation outside of Atlanta. She remained "unreconstructed" until the day she died. I have to believe her influence in him played a part on who he became.
He could challenge any modern president both physically and mentally and I have no doubts he would win. I long for the day when we can have a leader like him again. Wouldn't have been soft on the illegals or the minorities either.
a bump for based teddy
He was an ethical hunter.

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in that grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

It's a reworking of Shakespeare from Julius Caesar- Cowards dying many deaths
>A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once. It seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come
