A 'Theodore Roosevelt Conservative'? Bullfeathers!

When a Republican says the conservative he most admires is named Roosevelt it's time to cue that robot whose body is a quarter-barrel keg: "Danger, Will Robinson!" I don't care if it's Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, or Roosevelt Franklin, Roosevelts are just bad news. John McCain is telling you something when he bypasses the names of Calvin Coolidge, Barry Goldwater, and Ronald Reagan and instead selects Theodore Roosevelt as "conservative" that he wishes to emulate. George W. Bush's way of telling the hearing conservatives that he wasn't really a conservative was by prefixing "conservative" with "compassionate"; John McCain's manner of communicating this is to call himself a "Theodore Roosevelt conservative." Much of the out-of-control, i.e., unelected, regulatory state started under Theodore Roosevelt, as did the unconstitutional practice of the federal government seizing millions of acres of land for "protection." At least Teddy Roosevelt was honest enough to call himself a "progressive." Please stop calling yourself a conservative, Senator McCain.

At least he had immigration and the need for naturalization right. Something McAmnesty has no handle on....

"There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all".
