Not a bit "confused." Teddy Roosevelt was a damn disgrace in my part of upstate NY. My grandfather who was mustard gassed in WWI thought him a clown. My uncle, his brother, who died in WWI as a pilot can be googled under Potter Society,NY.
I spent my first seven summers as a kid looking at Valcour Island from my grandfather's property on Lake Champlain. That was the damn naval battle of 1812.
What part of the history of that naval battle did you know about? I doubt you knew it happened -without a google.
History was all around me as a kid. In fact, the first SF man to receive the CMH from the war in RVN was from NY.
Now, back to progressives and their whining.
Land was the means to money in early America. If you owned the land-you paid the only taxes. Now, where were those progressives during the land rushes, or during any one of the hitch up your wagon and stake your claim? I say-BITCHING.
BTW. You ever earn a CIB?"
