Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an American in 1907.

[SlyPokerDog]

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American ... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag ... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

That's President Roosevelt to you.

I've earned my spurs and I prefer to call him Ted.

One of our greatest Republican Democrat presidents.

Republicans disowned Abe, Teddy and Dwight years ago. The first true Republican president was Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Abe was the head lawyer for the big railroads, and brought in the Pinkertons to be the first national railroad police.

I am a lifelong expert on the railroad police. This has nothing to do with the other thread. You want to know anything, just ask me.

If I own all 4 railroads in Monopoly can I use the RR police to make people pay me double rent for my hotels?

Damn right. A genuine Den of Inequity.

You can't put hotels on railroads. Move back to where you came from, Ventnor on the other side of the tracks.

I know you can't put hotels on RRs. Can I use the RR police for my other properties?

Before he lost his mind, Ronnie thought about joining the Communist Party.

If you roll boxcars, you get a free turn. Racking my brain for railroad analogies, when I thought of racial railroad color-coded properties on the other side of the tracks, I came up with Ventnor's yellow bar for you.

That's all I got.
