*** WE HAVE ROOM FOR BUT ONE FLAG, THE AMERICAN FLAG. WE HAVE ROOM FOR BUT ONE LANGUAGE AND THAT IS THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. AND WE HAVE ROOM FOR BUT ONE SOLE LOYALTY, AND THAT IS A LOYALTY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. --- Theodore Roosevelt
Wonder why he wrote that than? Was he a good President?

Is that you Glenn Beck?
Didn't you use the same Quote on your radio show today?
He did have a point, but I fear that theAmerican people have lost their zest to remain a united country. Too many people have extremely different views. We can not unite for a single cause anymore. Look at 9/11, after the fact, when all the congress stood on the steps and sang together as a show of unity, and then a year later they are pointing fingers at each other and the administration. Why not just fix the damn problem, quit pointing fingers. What a show of unity. Now, with the illegal immigration problem, all the politicians have different opinions, but not many of them are listening to the PEOPLE. Well, over 60% of the people say,close the border now. But these people in D.C. have to play their petty political games. And they will do it until the Majority of us get tired of the political football, and just turn away.
What did Teddy do that was so good? What did he do that advanced and enhanced the American experience? When will we get a President that will break away from the same old same old?
Anybody with a good education can write and deliver a rousing speech, but it takes a special individual to take charge and lead.
And it ain't Hillary

Theodore Roosevelt a republican was a take charge leader that stood for American values and the American people. He should easily be ranked as one of the top 5 Presidents in American history. He was also probably the best President as far as environmental policies are concerned too.

A nation is defined by its borders, language and culture. If a country is to survive, it must maintain what makes it unique from all the other countries of the world. In order to keep America strong, we need residents and citizens who are committed to our language, borders and culture. If they want to have their own, they should have stayed where they were.
Try imposing the English language on France, and you will quickly learn that every other country already accepts these truths that we are trying to destroy.

He can have his opinion, but he is far from a founding father. Plus he's been dead for years. How does loyalty to oil and big business relate to those remarks? And what context was it made!
The US Supreme Court said it was constitutional to throw AMERICANS of Japanese ancestry into concentration camps for a few years during WW!!! We stole their houses and their grape farms. Wonder why they did that as it is clearly UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!
The same justice who wrote it constitutional, reversed his opinion several years later!

Roosevelt was great. After shooting half the buffalo he decides to become a ceonservationist. Every man can change his ways.

Why ask us, and then answer your OWN question? Who cares about what an Ex president said? We dont care what the CURRENT president says!

He wrote that because he belived it to be true.
From what I've read about him, he was an okay president.
