That we are to stand by the president, right or wrong is not only
unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American
public. -- Theodore Roosevelt

Wasn't he part founder of the welfare state?. He was slow to warn
against the menace of fascism and relied heavily on his charm. Oh
yeah, he decided that the federal government should be in charge of
social security and economic reform. I've been partially quoting some
of the stuff I've read about Teddy. Peronally, I kind of think he was
communist scum bag. Other than that: nice quote.

You have the wrong Roosevelt. The commy scumbag was his nephew,
Franklin. Teddy was one of the best presidents we ever had.
