The Roosevelts

[reverendjeremiah]

Lies. Not even the good Reverend knows about those boots, and he stalks the photo gallery.

I have to admit, I know a bit more about Teddy the naturalist than anything else so I'm interested to hear what all people come up with. I loved "Mornings on Horseback"

SHUSH! *hides printed phots behind his back* I have done no such thing.

I think what you need is a private prayer meeting

Praise Sweet Baby Jesus!

TR may have been more deistic or even pantheistic than christian back in those days, seeing as he was a well documented naturalist at his prime.

While Roosevelt was campaigning in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on October 14, 1912, a saloonkeeper named John Schrank shot him, but the bullet lodged in his chest only after penetrating his steel eyeglass case and passing through a thick (50 pages) single-folded copy of the speech he was carrying in his jacket.[59] Roosevelt, as an experienced hunter and anatomist, correctly concluded that since he wasn't coughing blood, the bullet had not completely penetrated the chest wall to his lung, and so declined suggestions he go to the hospital immediately. Instead, he delivered his scheduled speech with blood seeping into his shirt.[60] He spoke for 90 minutes. His opening comments to the gathered crowd were, "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."[61] Afterwards, probes and x-ray showed that the bullet had traversed three inches (76 mm) of tissue and lodged in Roosevelt's chest muscle but did not penetrate the pleura, and it would be more dangerous to attempt to remove the bullet than to leave it in place. Roosevelt carried it with him for the rest of his life

It is interesting to note that the reason the progressives were for prohibition was to keep the saloon owners from influencing our political system
