Thanks for reminding us how important TR was to this country. What would our west look like today without his foresight to put so much land in the public trust? We should follow his lead and do more ... before it is too late.
TR’s emphasis on keeping politics and business separate would go far today in avoiding all the de-regulation that has occurred on the contemporary (from Reagan on) GOP watch ... and the recent Wall Street/Bank meltdown. What is the Republican party today other than puppets for ‘Big Money America’ ...? TR’s penchant for ‘trust busting’, as you say, ultimately forced him out of the Republican tent to form the Bull Moose Party ... which put Wilson in office.
Long live TR’s legacy ...
