Teddy Roosevelt - 4of22 (HistCh)

Born in New York City, Roosevelt graduated from Harvard in 1880. He emerged as the leader of reform Republicans in the New York State Assembly in the early 1880s. Thereafter, he pushed practical reforms as head of the U.S. Civil Service Commission (1889-1895), president of the New York City police commission (1895-1897), assistant secretary of the navy (1897-1898), and governor of New York (1899-1900). He vigorously advocated war against Spain in 1898 and then performed heroically in Cuba as colonel of a volunteer cavalry unit, the "Rough Riders."

This documentary was going well until Karl Rove showed up. I hope Karl knows that the Roosevelt Republican is not the same as the Republican we have today. As their ideaologies have switched in early 20th Century.

@gemathena If you don't understand the difference between Conversational English and Shakesperean English, then you should go stick your head in an oven. My remark was intended to point out the Irony that llaformer misspelled a word that translationwiz got correct; while telling him to "speak english".

[prophecyrevelation]

@gemathena I made a 36 on the English portion of the ACT; so keep your ignorant comments to yourself. While you are it, you should sue your local school board for robbing you of the education you deserved as a child. We are not speaking "shakespearean". To imply that English doesn't have spelling rules only reveals your ignorance.

@prophecyrevelation

Many people speak "good English" badly, or do not speak English "well".

BTW: In early English, there were no rules regarding spelling. Research how many ways "Shakespeare's name was spelled.

The program had credibility until Karl Rove was included commenting on Roosevelt's ethical life.

@llaformer  you misspelled hypocrisy...now that's not very good "English", is it?

[llaformer]

@translationwiz hypocracy? He was only eliminating them because they were lacking in qualifications, which he was hired to do. And speak English.

[translationwiz]

Typical hypocrisy if you ask me. He gets his job through politics/favor for favor. and his first job is to eliminate this for others? Unbelievable.

thanks for los videos

peace/paz
