    The @NatlParkService, a great conservation act of Congress, was championed by conservative Republican Teddy Roosevelt.

        Teddy Roosevelt kickstarted, in many respects, the progressive movement. Not exactly a Republican.

        Yes, the founder of the Progressive party was a "conservative". Nice revisionist history there, @neiltyson

        Neil, this isn't a great reading of history. TR's politics were much more complex than we think of as "conservative Republican"

        imagine a Republican being anti-trust? Supporting, however tacitly, a coal-miners strike and threatening to nationalize the industry?

        He proposed a progressive inheritance tax, for gosh sakes'! I WISH Conservative Republicans were like Teddy Roosevelt, but let's be real.

        He didn’t leave the GOP for a difference over policy, he left because he lost a primary.

        I wouldn't call Teddy a conservative Republican, he existed at a time when Republicans could be liberal.
