True, for today Teddy wouldn't be much of a liberal. But for his time he was very liberal.
That is the way the world works. Slowly and surely, the world picks up more and more liberal philosophies. The people who were liberals 100, 50 years ago would be called conservatives today. The people that us liberals are now, they are who conservatives will be in 50 years.
Just the entire history of it, slavery, civil rights, womens rights, enviroment, animal rights, progressive taxation, welfare, medicare, social security. Think of it all, it all started out as a liberal platform, and value. Now it's here to stay.
All our values are gaining ground, the conservatives are constantly playing catch up to us.
