Theodore Roosevelt was once shot at during a campaign rally in Wisconsin. The bullet penetrated his glasses case and a manuscript, just missing his right lung. Being an expert hunter he decided to stay and give his speech since he wasn’t coughing up blood. His speech lasted nearly an hour. TFM.
yeah i bet FDR was FaF too wasnt he? a second bill of rights and the New Deal is about as frat as teddys Sqare Deal. not knowing American History. TGM.
FDR was the most GDI president in history. Worse than Obama if you understand that he paved the way for the modern welfare state. The New Del is as NF as it gets.
saw that coming…this is one of the best TFMs ive seen in a while, and unlike most lately are actually true. that speech was one of the greatest in american history, if that would have happened to bush or obama we wouldnt have seen them in public for two months. stop trying to nit pick every TFM and focus on posting better ones than your generic sprite pong one.
trusts are no fun for anyone, genius. true conservatives are anti-trust because they centralize power too much and ruin free-market competition. Corporations aren’t bad but huge trusts are. Teddy was also very conservative when it came to foreign policy and American exceptionalism. He was a bad-ass.
i can tell youre a piece of shit liberal by your name. anyone who praises “broosevelt” AND LBJ in the same post is a blue donkey geed. have fun gettin robbed by your boy obama
Too long to be a TFM. I feel like that could have come from my history book, which I haven’t cracked open all semester because I’m too busy making my frat daddy happy.
It was long cause it was word for word from a show on history channel. Plagiarism or not, TR definitely proved his fratastic character through this instance
thank you for knowing your history, sir. although he was a republican, he was the most progressive Rep. we’ve ever had. and for the idiot underneath me, those “monopolies” that he was attempting to break up, were offering lower prices than anyone in the market. breaking up monopolies in general is fucking stupid because if a company cant offer lower prices, thats their fault they cant compete. and if the prices are too high, other competition will come in and steal the business. Minimum wage & government regulations= NF. and Reagan took a bullet as well and joked about it in the emergency room with his wife saying “honey i forgot to duck”-FaF.
TgdiM: your blatant disregard for modern microeconomic theory is appalling. The monopolies which Teddy broke up did not exist because there were no competitors which could match their prices, they existed because they controlled all the infrastructure within markets for which there were no legitimate substitutes (like the railroads). Those kind of monopolies will produce where marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue, which will occur at a lower quantity and higher price than the most efficient point. Because of this, it is far more efficient to have an oligopoly control this market, where a series of large firms compete and deliver their product at a price and quantity which suits both the firms and consumers.
broakies: you sound like a liberal prick. and the market controls itself, jackass. does the word EQUILIBRIUM ring a bell? no? ….the government isnt needed to step in to and restructure the market with their artificial price floors & ceilings…read the book Capitalism by Ayn Rand. you’ll learn a lot my friend.
Whistlin Dixie: when I mentioned that large firms will compete and deliver their product at a price and quantity which suits both producers and consumers, I was obviously referring to an equilibrium price. Some people actually have real knowledge about economics, so we don’t have to throw around buzzwords like “equilibrium” to sound important. Also, way to completely invalidate your argument by throwing in the comment about “price floors and ceilings.” That literally has nothing to do with what I, or anyone else on this post, was talking about. Don’t try to play out of your league, kiddo.
“Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just
been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.”
Several times during his speech he apologized for its brevity, despite the fact it was an hour long.
I’m as southern conservative as they come (Obama would call me “racist”) and Teddy Roosevelt was a true American. The progressive era never hit any meaningful milestones under Teddy, it really started in the 1910’s when Woodrow Wilson took office and wanted that “Second Bill of Rights” that liberals like Michael Moore endorse. Teddy’s “progressive” motives weren’t the kind us conservatives want to do away with today, they were the ones that merely wanted uncleanliness (NF) and abuse (which is fratty, but not proper) to be limited by the corporations.
FDR was the one who tried to pass the second bill of rights, geed. woodrow was the toolbag who took away freed of speech by imprisoning ppl who spoke out against the war and fined them up to $10,000 as well. funny how all the libs love him, but if bush did that when all their hippie asses were out there protesting then they would raise a donkey
Side note: its was a manuscript and a Protestant Bible. TFM
