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

          Which is literally the opposite of what your original tweet called him. You may know physics but your grasp of history is tenuous at best.

          At the time he was considered what Neil is saying. He didn't say in today's world. Sheesh people lighten up.

          No he wasn't. He was known as a progressive and actively worked to defeat Taft in 1912 because Taft wasn't one.

          Conservatism is an ideology, not a party. Today's republicans are anything but conservative, just like how the dems are anything but liberal

          Conservatism is an ideology. One that TR did not adhere to. No matter how many ways you try to say it, he was NOT a conservative.
