I Just Finished Watching The 2 Part History Channel Program On Theodore Roosevelt......

I must say I found it very enlightening and it gave me a new respect for the man they called TR.

Talk about History repeating itself. Many of the things TR faced back then seem to have been recycled in very much the modern way of today.

I'm curious of what others here thought about this program if you watched it.

I can't wait for the next one they will feature on FDR.

Lot of repeating history there too.

There would be no room for Teddy Roosevelt in today's Republican Party. Hell, Teddy was too liberal on a lot of issues for the Republican Party of 1912, hence his alliance with progressive Republicans in 1912 and the "Bull Moose Party"
