People who can't face history and learn from it are just stupid, IMO. Good, bad or whatever. Likewise, those who judge the past by the rules of today -- ESPECIALLY the stupid-ass, PC, BS rules of today -- are intellectually dishonest. I wasn't born in 2000. I was born in 1959. Most of my life won't pass today's BS standards and I am quite happy with that fact because I see very little change for the better; rather, a whole of change for no more reason than to be making them.

For his day and age, Teddy Roosevelt was a bigger than life person and defeintely a better leader than anyone going today. All these National wildlife reserves and parks? Because of him.

On the other hand, he was a bit like Trump. His successor didn't do as TR dictated so TR turned on him, trashed him in the media, and ran on a 3rd party ticket, splitting the GOP and handing the Dems the Presidency. Hope THAT history doesn't repeat itself.

Thee progressives/have nots are trying to erase US. They want a new playing field where they're in control, and they don't want to have to earn it. I'm for kicking most of them out of the country. If this was about idealism, they could just go to a country more in line with their political beliefs. It's about control.
