    Dang, libs were the same idiots way back when Teddy Roosevelt was president.
    Obama only wants people to have guns if they belong to that murderous lunatic fringe he calls "the religion of peace." That is not the only reason we now reside in The Twilight Zone not to mention The Outer Limits.
    "All rise. The honorable kangaroo presiding" made me the dino laugh. That hopping marsupial drawn to look so stupid helped.
    Dino also notices the How We See Politics meme shows how that is much less complicated for reasonable people.

      No, they weren't. Back then, "liberal" meant about what "libertarian conservative" does today. That's why I have to question whether Roosevelt really said that.

          I looked at a couple of fact-checking sites, and they both said that quote didn't appear in any of TR's writings or recorded utterances. No indication of who originated it--probably some unknown who wasn't aware of how the meaning of "liberal" has evolved. It would have been more plausible to put it in the mouth of someone like William F. Buckley or Ronald Reagan.

            Many quotes trace out that way, shame.

            One thing about Teddy, 1) he was a man, not a sniveling wimp like wilson. 2) he could do stuff, survive and work if he had to.
            He was a racist, though; hated Indians and Blacks.
            Don't know if he was corrupt like the rest of them or not. You know how the kakistocracy treated history: a few dates, a few sayings and a bunch of bull shit.

            Hell, I'm still trying to find out if President John Hanson during "The Congress in session: period of time (two year terms) was actually a Black American from Maryland whom was unanimously voted for.
            Wikipedia is worthless, you get two conflicting stories and way too many different photos. Not much info about that time. ( Would sure put a dent in obobo's legacy)

              I did a lot of digging into that and found not a whole lot one way or the other that could hold to scrutiny. The tricky bit is that it was before slavery was really associated with racism, so we cant apply that period view to it. The connection with race was made later when slavery came under serious threat as a desperate attempt to save slavery by playing to a different angle. So it would stand to reason that he could be as the writings of that era wouldn’t have it as a big deal.

                The creatures at Wiki pedos fight tooth and nail against him being a Black American and voted unanimously. I responded that if in fact he was from Maryland and did the things he did...then he WAS a Black American.
                The Bio suggests he was an extraordinarily smart dude.

          I also think demoncraps were dumb pieces of shit back then like now but as Rex points out: the def. of liberal was the opposite to what it is now.
          In fact. this whole thing about dems being cool in the 30s/40s/50s was BS too!. They convinced the average productive dem on the street that they were but I think they were just as corrupt as they are now. (they did create the wars now and blamed the Rebubs didn't they?)

    Whew, tough day today, but glad I got back to the Gulch and The Meme Tyme! Always appreciate a Rod Serling meme pointing out a Twilight Zone moment. Don't "they" just print diplomas now - or might as well in regards to certain fields of "study"? Yes, the commies go by many names - it's part of the "baffle 'em with BS" strategy - see printed diplomas. Kangaroo judge is priceless! Amazing how Trump can get campaign points just for staying ahead of the sharks - and smile while doing it!

    The whole lot looks great today, OUC!!! LOL, thank you!
