FeelingMN 273 Posted April 10, 2009 7.3 Teddy Roosevelt - Administrative Leader/Head of State During the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt was lieutenant colonel of the Rough Rider Regiment, which he led on a charge at the battle of San Juan. He was one of the most conspicuous heroes of the war. As President, Roosevelt held the ideal that the Government should be the great arbiter of the conflicting economic forces in the Nation, especially between capital and labor, guaranteeing justice to each and dispensing favors to none. Roosevelt emerged spectacularly as a "trust buster" by forcing the dissolution of a great railroad combination in the Northwest. Other antitrust suits under the Sherman Act followed. Roosevelt steered the United States more actively into world politics. He liked to quote a favorite proverb, "Speak softly and carry a big stick. . . . " Aware of the strategic need for a shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific, Roosevelt ensured the construction of the Panama Canal. His corollary to the Monroe Doctrine prevented the establishment of foreign bases in the Caribbean and arrogated the sole right of intervention in Latin America to the United States. He won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the Russo-Japanese War, reached a Gentleman's Agreement on immigration with Japan, and sent the Great White Fleet on a goodwill tour of the world. Some of Theodore Roosevelt's most effective achievements were in conservation. He added enormously to the national forests in the West, reserved lands for public use, and fostered great irrigation projects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naomi 360 Posted April 12, 2009 Deleted another geek's pick of CH for FFT idiot using my handle. Insurgent - William Wallace ... Fleeeeadom!! Scotland has recently been recognizing Andrew de Moray's role (Wallace linked up with him and his followers) so he needed real consideration. Andrew de Moray was technically more successful than Wallace, but what clenched it for me was Wallace's defiance. When England tried him for treason he said he hadn't committed it because he never recognized the King's authority in the first place. Someone who stands by that as Wallace was taken from the hall, stripped naked and dragged through the city at the heels of a horse to the Elms at Smithfield. He was hanged, drawn and quartered — strangled by hanging but released whilst he was still alive, emasculated, eviscerated and his bowels burnt before him, beheaded, then cut into four parts. His preserved head was placed on a pike atop London Bridge. It was later joined by the heads of the brothers, John and Simon Fraser. His limbs were displayed, separately, in Newcastle upon Tyne, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Stirling, and Aberdeen... plus was invaluable to the wars for independence from the most powerful order of the time... It's probably because of his spirit and a poem by "Blind Harry" two centuries after his life that made him Scotland's most respected warrior. Then came Mel Gibson.
