If Theodore Roosevelt were alive today

Postby United States of Natan » Thu Jul 02, 2015 6:02 pm

What do you guys think Theodore Roosevelt would be like if he was alive today? Would he be a Democrat or Republican? What would he support? What would he think of the nation? I'd like to know. Personally, I think he'd be a Democrat. I know he at least wouldn't win a Republican Presidential nomination. But what do you guys think our former (and best) President would be like?

Dunno, he was doing well with his four terms. He might still be president.

He would probably not even belong to a party. He is a man who would have his own opinion on everything and would not let what he believe be dictated by what party he was in.

Nonsense! He'd be as strong as a bull moose, as ever.

As for his party... he'd probably be ticked off with both and try to defib the Progressive movement that was his baby. If not, he'd certainly join with the democrats: as a huge supporters of a strong federal government and the conservation movement (two big Democratic planks), and a distrust of big business kicking around the little guy (Citizens United would likely get him raging, as would be the number of multi-national mergers of huge corporations being allowed.

I have little doubt he'd be glad to see America as a leader on the world stage and with a higher standard of living. He'd probably love his forth cousin's New Programs to bits and fight tooth and nail to stop them from being dismantled/privatized, and favor the move towards a stronger presidency. The 'softening' of American society and people might tick him off though.

However, he couldn't run for President again (we have an amendment for that).

Ted Cruz would call him an outdated Communist.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Vaguely disappointed that the movie "Bully" wasn't about him.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

He wouldn't be a Democrat or a Republican- in his mind they'd both be against what he stood for, and more or less existed in his time (Federalism and Anti Federalism have more or less existed since the dawn of America, the names just change). He'd be heading his own Progressive Party leading a political crusade against the corporations of the modern day. Although if he somehow found a way to be immortal and thus been affecting history since WWI, I doubt many large corporations would even still exist were he to have somehow survived.

Corporations/Groups like AIG stand against everything Theodore and his party fought for. His first order of business would be burning those companies to the ground and going on a monopoly killing spree.
If we affirm one moment, we thus affirm not only ourselves but all existence. For nothing is self-sufficient, neither in us ourselves nor in things; and if our soul has trembled with happiness and sounded like a harp string just once, all eternity was needed to produce this one event—and in this single moment of affirmation all eternity was called good, redeemed, justified, and affirmed.

Democrat in policy, but I'd imagine quite different in attitude.

Not that I'd complain too much about that.

He'd probably lead a military coup and smash multiculturalism with his big stick.

Also, he'd probably invade Cuba.

He'd scream and claw at his coffin.

Though, considering his general beliefs and they contrast with the massive cultural changes since his death, I can say with some certainty that he'd probably be getting as many votes as Vermin Supreme.

More content is needed for this discussion. And the hypotheticals are rarely a good source of solid content. If this were in the school season, it's one I'd swear was a homework thread.

Fill it out. Source some things. Give some examples. Flesh out your own opinions and back 'em up with those examples. Something more than 'what if, possibly that, what do you all think - entertain me!'.
