Cagle im trying to talk about something else and move on and your just not cooperating. T. Roosevelt extended his policy on latin america. He used his big stick to warn European nations not to interfere with latin america.

yeah christian.....evertime i hear that i keep thinking of when he said.....

"Let us speak courteously, deal fairly, and keep ourselves armed and ready."

Teddy Roosevelt used the proverb "Speak softly and carry a big stick". His foreign policy was "Good Neighbor Policy"

i was reading my book of quotations by Teddy Roosevelt (yes, i love that man!!) that i got when we went to Theodore Roosevelt National Park (which was soooo exciting...) and i thought i'd share a few quotes:

"Good weapons are necessary, but if you put the best weapon that can be invented into the hands of a coward, he will be beaten by a brave man with a club."

"A vote is like a rifle: its usefulness depends upon the character of the user."

and...

"There is...one quality which perhaps, strictly speakin, is as much intellectual as moral, but which is too often wholly lacking in men of high intellectual ability, and without which real character cannot exist-namely, the fundamental gift of commonsense."

North Dakota entered the union 1889.

in 1883, Teddy went to North Dakota and it took him 10 days before he shot a bison. he enjoyed the outdoor life, and he made a partnership with some people to raise cattle there.

teddy watched abe lincoln's funeral procession from his grandfathers house in 1865.

is that cool enough dixon?
