Guest RabidBillsFanVT Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 As an aside, you mention TR in your Avatar line. Have you ever looked up TR's human rights positions? Were you aware that considered genocide of the American Indians to be an honorable and worthy cause? Let alone people of other nations and races. Do a little reading on our activities in the Phillipines. Just curious. 84212[/snapback] Yes I have, and taking the positions of Roosevelt into its PROPER historical context (i.e. 1880-1915), his record as a leader, statesman, legislator, and overall human being is VERY impressive. You CANNOT judge a man by a later set of values, or else our Founding Fathers would ALL flunk that test, and you know it...! The Edmund Morris series on Roosevelt is EXCELLENT... I know what he did in the Phillippines, and frankly, it was FAR MORE HUMANE than what the Spanish ever did in ANY of their possessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
