Hagar Posted November 15, 2015 Report Posted November 15, 2015 Where is our Theodore Roosevelt today? I'll concede that our Doctors and scientist, as a group, are smarter, but what happened to the IQs of our politicians and the average voter?Perhaps it's not IQ that's lower but just the absence of common sense. Yep, I think I'm on to something here. Quote
LumRaiderFan Posted November 16, 2015 Report Posted November 16, 2015 ....had it right on immigration. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up From the article...worthy of re-posting.Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907. "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 1907 Quote
