ksu sucks Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 ^All of which are undoubtedly great things if you believe that increased government intervention can bring prosperity. The fact that many on the American "right" are clamoring for a politician similar to TR says a lot about their intentions. From what I can tell, the Republican establishment believes that Roosevelt's military interventions overseas make up for his "progressive" domestic policies. TR wasn't a conservative. He was a modern imperialist with a domestic policy very similar to that of the social democrats. The fact that he was a Republican makes it convenient for people like Rick Santorum and David Brooks to pretend like TR set some kind of precedence for war mongering within the conservative movement.
