Is "wimp" wrong now?

Whatever...After he was no longer President TR went back to the WH and dug up his bad-ass dog because he didn't think new people would or could appreciate the dogs exceptionalism.

Then again, these are his words:

"All men of sane and wholesome thought must dismiss with impatient contempt the plea that these continents should be reserved for the use of scattered savage tribes. … Most fortunately, the hard, energetic, practical men who do the rough pioneer work of civilization in barbarous lands, are not prone to false sentimentality. The people who are, these stay-at-homes are too selfish and indolent, too lacking in imagination, to understand the race-importance of the work which is done by their pioneer brethren in wild and distant lands. …

The most ultimately righteous of all wars is a war with savages. … American and Indian, Boer and Zulu, Cossack and Tartar, New Zealander and Maori,—in each case the victor, horrible though many of his deeds are, has laid deep the foundations for the future greatness of a mighty people."

It is hard to accept that TR was a horrible genocidal loving maniac. But yes, he was.

But Tammany Hall kicked his ass.
