Roosevelt quote
« on: April 26, 2007, 05:44:25 PM »
He hits the nail on the head- IMHO




"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

Lets import beautiful mexican women and export our fat ugly women so that we may increase the genetic diversity of our gene pool.  Each man will be required to have five girlfriends.  Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays will be national procreation days.

BURN! hahaha.

Listen, if you want to be a true patriot, get that vasectomy reversed.  I know thats its no fun having a harem of concubines, but I expect each man to grin and bear it.

By a bizarre coincidence I just finished "Mornings on Horseback" which is the story of the early life of Theodore Roosevelt. In it, I was mightily impressed by one of his early speeches given at a July Fourth celebration in the Dakota Bad Lands roughly 21 years prior to this one, and have been trying to find a full transcript of it on the Net to no avail. Interestingly enough this much earlier speech contains almost exactly the same sentiments about all Immigrants being welcome provided they forever set aside their former nationality and consent to simply be Americans. It was Roosevelt's clear contention that this was the only way a unified America could could be forged from the peoples of many nations. So apparently this was one theme that he carried throughout his political career (the Roosevelts, incidentally were descendents of the original Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam - now known as New York City.)

As an immigrant myself I can well understand his sentiment, and am no fan of the increasing Balkanization of this nation.

Wow,

I think that's quite possibly the only thing you've ever said that I agree with.
