Theodore Roosevelt Endorses Sarah Palin

Those of you who know me somewhat know that I have a great affection for Theodore Roosevelt. A great hunter, a great historian, a great true conservationist, a great warrior, and a great man. I am so proud that we finally have a candidate now that I think would make him smile. Someone who is a great person ahead of being a great politician. Someone who has worked with their hands and enjoyed it. Someone who entered political life not as a means to rid themselves of work and sweat. Someone with the nerve to stand up to those in their own party and the wisdom to welcome in those not in their party. Someone with the fortitude to enter the greatest wilderness our country has and hunt among animals that can hunt you. I know Teddy is smiling from ear to ear. His words of the past would endorse such a candidate.



No man can do both effective and decent work in public life unless he is a practical politician on the one hand, and a sturdy believer in Sunday-school politics on the other. He must always strive manfully for the best, and yet, like Abraham Lincoln, must often resign himself to accept the best possible.

One of the fundamental necessities in a representative government such as ours is to make certain that the men to whom the people delegate their power shall serve the people by whom they are elected, and not the special interests. I believe that every national officer, elected or appointed, should be forbidden to perform any service or receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from interstate corporations; and a similar provision could not fail to be useful within the States.

The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.

I am as strong as a bull moose. You may use me as you will.

It is impossible to win the great prizes of life without running risks, and the greatest of all prizes are those connected with the home.
