re: smart move
It's been long apparent that you have no clue what my philosophy actually is.
I picked Theodore Roosevelt, the founder of the park system, for a reason. If I could ask him if people should be able to carry guns in a park, do you really think his response would have been "well, yes, if they have the right politics," or "yes, if they have the proper government license."
As for the rest, I think you might be badly shocked at what the real TR would think of politics today.
"If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs."
Theodore Roosevelt - 1897
