Right on the Money

“The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first and love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”

Theodore Roosevelt

hey man

just got done studying President Teddy. That quote is really true when you consider how each aspect describes groups with the wrong focus in America.

"prosperity at any price" - Americans obsessed with materialism.

"peace at any price" - Many Liberals (except, for them it's more like "peace at any price...except war")

"safety first instead of duty first" - the average joe Americans like you and I who can take America's freedoms for granted.

"love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life" - More materialists and people who take advantage of the welfare system and look to the lottery and gambling for their financial salvation.

Amen! Theodore Roosevelt was the greatest president next to Reagan, IMHO.
