Good article. The chronicle of TR’s actions is like a laundry list of depravity. Particularly depressing is the fact that this president was the model for all succeeding presidents.

I’ve believed for some years now that Teddy Roosevelt should be considered the natural father of the virtual socialist dictatorship this country has become. That the propaganda has painted him in so many ignorant minds as some sort of super-conservative strains belief.
