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
Just joined to post this?
Seen and heard it a hundred times.
Do you disagree with TR's comments?
Where's Teddy R. (not that larda** Kennedy) when we need him?
Welcome to Free Republic. You really should lurk or post on other established threads awhile before posting what appears to be a Vanity. It will make some of the other posters less anxious and apprehensive.
It can bear repeating once in a while. But it isn't exactly News.
My problem is with the troll who signed up for no other reason than to try and incite a flame war.
I've seen this posted a couple of times today. Leftist talking points?
You're factually incorrect ( the year was 1919 NOT 1907) and this has been posted here previously.

"In the first place we should insist that the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equity 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 man's becoming 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, and this excludes the red flag which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any flag of a nation to which we are hostile.
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 in a letter to the American Defense Society in 1919.
