That We Accept Large Colonies\nOf NON-AMERICAN CITIZENS Amongst Us\nAt The TAXPAYERS EXPENSE \n\nThey DEMAND Citizenship To This Nation Based Upon A \nFALSE LOYALTY And NO INTENTION Of HONORING The VOW That They Expect To Take If They Actually Get \nSWORN TO CITIZENSHIP\n\nThe Will Recite The Pledge To Our Flag \nWith NO IDEA What The Words Actually Mean\nAnd Not Care For ONE SECOND Because It'll Get Em A Foot In The Door And A Free Ride From Our Citizens\n\nThe Truth Is In The Answers You See RIGHT IN THIS FORUM\nLike PANCHA ^ (PROPAGANDA) \n\nI Think Mr. Roosevelt KNEW \nExactly What He Was Talking About

I'm not interested in a candidates stances ("I believe in America; my opponent believes in selling babies to gay, drug dealing, communists").  I care about whether or not they're engaged in the problems of the world around them.  Do they care about peoples lives, are they thinking about solutions.  \n\nIt's easy to stand in opposition to what you don't like and say that's having convictions.  But what I want is someone who, instead of having all the answers, wants to work to solve the problems.  Someone creative, hardworking, insightful, and compassionate.  Only then am I even willing to listen to their ideas on free trade, or foreign relations, or social security, or education.  \n\nCan you imagine hiring someone at any office in America based on the beliefs and opinions they already hold.  No, you hire based on their ability to do the work, their practical ideas, their sense of themselves, but even more so their adaptability to new situations that could arise.  Sadly, this isn't how candidates are elected, and it's to the detriment of the nation.

1.  Roosevelt responded to the Great Depression by creating new federal agencies and making new jobs for people\n\n2  One of those things was creation of the Social Security system, so that old people could retire and leave jobs that could be taken by younger people\n\nBonus:\n\n3.  Roosevelt led the nation during the Second World War.\n\nNow, do you homework!

Thank you for your intelligent post. It is reasonable and is anger free. President Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican president said, "To state that we must not criticize the president is unpatriotic, servile, and morally treasonable to the American public."\n\nIf it was good enough for TR, it should be good enough for the country.

Today is the 129 anniversary of what us whites call Custer's Last Stand or the Little Big Horn. The Lakota, Ogalla, And Cheyenne call Gressy Grass. There are several reasons that this is important and I will get into it later.\n\nFirst of all the Rank at the time of Gressy Grass was Lt. Colonel, but due to his brevetted Rank in the Civil War was Major General. So if a person were to address him it would be General. It is the same as we refer to President Reagan after he left office, becaue he earned the title. The only way he would have lost the right to be called General is if he was demoted due to an infraction of military law. At the time he was posted here at Fort Lincoln Southwest of Bismarck, Dakota Territory was the need for generals was not as great.\n\nDuring the Civil War he was considered the North premiere Calvary General were he perfected dividing his force and strategy that generations of historians would pan him for the last four decades.\n\nFirst off, General Custer was arrogant, or maybe just overconfident. Although is it really arrogance when you can do what you think you can.\nIf he were as bad a character that the modern day historian claim he was.\n(There is a theory that Reno and Benteen set him up to fail.)\n\nHis orders were vague, he and the seventh Calvary was supposed to meet up with General Terry sometime. He was offered gattlin guns. Some historians think that this might have saved him. There are three problems with this the terrain is incredibly hilly with a lot of coolies making it hard to get them set up. A gattlin gun weighed over a ton and would slow down a Calvary unit (the Calvary Unit of the 19th century were considered to be akin to our special forces today. The Calvary units were quick attack units. Third, black powder had a tendency to jam regularly. I wouldn't have wanted them.\n\nI think that he found the village to soon. The rule of thumb if you could see an indian They KNEW you were there. I will grant you that he didn't listen to his scouts, but the number of warriors in the village I don't think anyone would have comprehended. There is a possibility that he was going to fight a holding action. Trying to hold out tell the three columns of Sheridan and the other Generals. Sheridan and the other two Generals were held up they weren't where they were late because they encountered other Nations on the way.\n\nThe morning of the battle Custer divided his command of about 100 troopers into three commands under Reno and Benteen. (Later in Reno's military career his was court martialed for assaulting his commanding officers daughter). This was so they could surround the village. The last order out from Custer was for Benteen to "bring packs big village." He didn't. Reno was surrounded for a time but when one of his sergeants brains were blown out Reno took off running.\n\nHere is the victor's perspective. Months before the Battle Sitting Bull had a vision of soldiers falling into the village. The interesting part of the vision for me was the warning not to take anything from the soldiers or they would loose the war. His warning was headed. (Kinda harkens back to Joshua and the fall of Jericho when he warned them not to take anything, but Achan did and they lost the next battle Joshua 6-7 Makes me ponder what would have happened if the Nations would have heeded the warning).\n\nCrazy Horse was a very formidable General. The terrain really lent a hand to the way the Lakota, Ogalla, and Cheyenne fought. It gave the warriors a lot of cover. The yellow boy Winchester 10 round magazine repeating rifle for close quarter fighting is very formidable against a single shot Spencer carbine. Not including recurve bows. The warriors were trained from an early age to fight one-on-one. The stiff formations of the Calvary didn't work well because the Warrior fought outside of the box.\n\nThe importance of this can still be seen today. 1893 the massacre at Wounde

Can't completely evaluate his presidency right now.  We will have to see what becomes of all the things he has set in motion.\nKeep in mind that some of our best presidents were wildly unpopular in their day - Jefferson, Lincoln, and T. Roosevelt.  I am not suggesting he will ever be in that league, just that there is a good chance that all the rhetoric about what is going on is short sighted and prevents us from properly evaluating the long term impact of his presidency.\nAs a man I guess he's a good guy.  He cares for his family; doesn't seem to lie, cheat, or steal (I can't listen to those panty-wearring sisies who think he lied everyone into war - if they're not even smart enough to read the actual words he used and pay attention to the UN Resolutions).  I think he's a little creepy sometimes, but I'm not inviting him to any cook-outs.\nAs a world leader?  Hmmm.  I don't care.  If the euro-weenies and insecure Canadians don't like him what do I care?  If the presidency had to answer to all those constituencies then we would be in real trouble.\nMy opinion about his presidency in generic terms:  C- on domestic issues (the brutal expansion of the federal government) and grades are still out on foreign issues (if I had to guess it's probably going to be around a B-.

thank God he cannot run again. I think the country would implode if it had to go through yet another fixed election.\nI would vote for Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The man was a giant.

Are you talking about  Theodore Roosevelt's speech?\n\nTheodore  Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in  1907.\n\n      "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."\n\n      Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Teddy Roosevelt is famous for breaking up Monopolies with anti-trust suits.  He also started the National Parks Program to set aside a certain amount of land and keep it in it's natural condition.  This is what TR is best remembered for was his movement for Conservation at least it is the one thing he did that still effects everyday American Life.

Lincoln.  Besides his impressive contributions to the art, language, and style of politics, no man who has ever occupied the oval office faced as much difficulties while in office.  Even FDR, with the Great Depression and WWII, did not have to face the devastation of the Civil War that Lincoln faced on a daily basis.  The nation was torn apart.  Families were split and government was on the brink of collapse on more than one occasion.  With what can only be described as supreme will, Lincoln kept the country from ruin.  He rose up from lowly beginnings to embody the spirit of the nation.

Eleanor Roosevelt, she really did a lot.  There are many that believe that she actually ran the country and the war for the last year or so of FDR's term because he was so ill.  Then after her husband passed she was still active in this country and around the world.  A lot of our world help organizations can trace their origins to her efforts.  Not to mention the U.N.  Even if some people don't like the U.N., I think it is a great way to bring all the countries of the world together.  It is the first time that it has even been done.  Might not be perfect, however, it is a start.  She helped draw up the constitution of the U.N. BTW.... \n\nAlthough, I have always been partial to the name Jackie.  :)

Do your own homework.  Plus the 30s is a long time and he got elected president twice during that time.  Every president's popularity rises and drops over time.  \n\nBut of course there was Roosevelt's unfortunate position on eugenic sterilization.
