Now you see why TR is my favorite president. I recommend anyone interested in him read The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex. I couldn't put them down.
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
"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."

I would have to agree...... excellent reading.
BTW, adorable pup in your sig.
Thanks. Want one? I could use an excuse to travel.
That is one of the best statements that I have ever heard a President say.
I'd love the chance to sit back and watch Ol' Teddy straighten out today's world. Where's that dang time machine when you need it. :rollside:
We could flush a lot of crap starting with PC and the ACLU.

LOL, actually I do. I have to wait and see as I already obligated myself to take a dog from Phebus if he can't get rid of her. Yellow Lab in the Sandbar but if it doesn't work out.............. :rollside:

No habla englais.
Evidentally Teddy was a racist... his cousin was a communist too...
He wouldn't get halfway through that speech before being labeled a racist by the ACLU and La Raza.
