Teddy was in favor of a federal personal income tax ~ hardly a conservative position.

At the same time he negotiated the handover of Korea to Japan to keep and use as a slave labor camp (colony).

Teddy had his weak points ~ probably why he couldn't get elected on his own ~

Just a reminder.

Still, all of us agree that it's frequently dangerous to evaluate the past in terms of the present ~ TR maybe one of those cases, but I wouldn't vote for him anyway, nor Romney, nor Obama, nor Bill Clinton, nor LBJ
