Theodore Roosevelt

[rpvol]

'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.'
Theodore Roosevelt

Elitist Pig...who also happens to be one of my favorite Presidents. I recommend "Theodore Rex" to anyone wishing to know more about Teddy's character.

Instead we don't fly the American flag today over our base in Haiti that is there to aid needy Haitians, (and let me add that we are probalby providing more aid that any three other nations,) because Barry says it might 'send the wrong message.'

Jingoism aside, there is something about nuanced liberal sensitivity that really stinks. Well it sucks too but that's another story.
