"That we are to stand by the President right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
Was he a commie pinko?

I can not believe how many of you in here are just sheep, and don't believe we should have the right to question our leaders. That is the one right that truly makes America, America. if you don't want the right to question Authority then there are country's you can go to that already live that way, Iran, Iraq, China, and so on!

He was Theodore Roosevelt.
To Kapute2--- you need to read history. Teddy Roosevelt was enormously popular. He became president on the assassination of William McKinley and then ran and won a landslide victory in 1904 in his own right. He declared the 04 election would be for his second term and would not seek a 3rd term. Big mistake on his part. After his hand picked successor, Wm. H. Taft did not match Teddy's or the nation's expectations Teddy ran against him in 1912 under the Progrssive (Bull Moose) party banner. That split the Republicans badly. Woodrow Wilson, the Democrat won with Roosevelt taking second and the incumbant Taft in a distant third.

That would be Teddy. My favorite Teddy quote is:
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Written in 1919.
Timely, no?

I'm going to go with Teddy Roosevelt.
That's a good quote; I like that. Always question your leadership. It's one of the most powerful rights we have.

It sound like a time long ago when politics ended at the border of America.

Theodore Roosevelt wasn't exactly a commie, but he did enjoy starting wars in small distant countries.

That would be Teddy Roosevelt (Republicans would like to forget him: He was in favor of the environment and opposed big business)
