Turning The Ballot Box Against Republicans

And my links show Jefferson belonged to a party that opposed everything todays Democrats want.

And the cow is the forerunner for ice cream.

And Teddy Roosevelt would have turned the Middle East into a piece of glass. ISIS would not have happened.

The graphic is correct.

You don't know a damn thing about Teddy Roosevelt.

Theodore Roosevelt on the prospects of Muslim liberalization

Paul K. writes:

The situation in “liberated” Egypt, where Muslims are attacking the Christian Copt minority and burning their churches, brings to mind observations former president Theodore Roosevelt made after visiting that country in 1910. Discussing the Egyptian Nationalist movement, which sought to expel the British imperialists, Roosevelt noted that while some of its leaders had liberal ideas, their views would not prevail. He wrote:











The real strength of the Nationalist movement in Egypt, however, lay not with these Levantines of the cafes, but with the mass of practically unchanged bigoted Moslems to whom the movement meant driving out the foreigner, plundering and slaying the local Christian, and a return to all the violence and corruption which festered under the old-style Moslem rule, whether Asiatic or African.

Roosevelt is condemned by many on the right as the original progressive, but on many issues he was quite clear-sighted..

LA replies:

A hundred years ago, the American leadership class clearly understood and forthrightly stated that the adherents of Islam were antithetical to us and our civilization. Today, our “leaders” tell us that Muslims are just like us, and that if we believe otherwise we are morally defective and un-American. As I’ve written:

What would have been inconceivable 70 or 80 years ago is unquestionable today. A society that 70 years ago wouldn’t have dreamed of admitting large numbers of Muslims, today doesn’t dream of reducing, let alone stopping, the immigration of Muslims.

By that argument one could say that Lincoln belonged to a party that opposed everything today's Republicans want.
