He is a certified lunatic and idiot. I suppose that is the best explanation on why he would lump Teddy in with Wilson . Speaking of National Parks, B1S2 would probably be fine with Coca Cola Corp taking over Yellowstone and running it like "a real Republican Business," just like Comcast or AT&T. The specter of huge neon signs on the sides of the Grand Tetons comes to mind, advertising "Depends" and "Viagra" .

The Washington Post? Seriously?

When President McKinley was assassinated and Theodore Roosevelt took office in 1901, progressivism became a powerful national movement. During his tenure as president, Roosevelt was a loud and effective advocate for “trust-busting,” the breaking up of enormous monopolies that had controlled prices and prevented competition. He also advocated for fair trade and pro-labor laws, including a decreased workweek, child labor restrictions, and workplace safety rules.
Roosevelt’s attitudes on race fluctuated, though he was generally considered a moderate during his era. As governor of New York, he ended school segregation. Just one month after Roosevelt was sworn in as President, he invited Booker T. Washington, a black civil rights activist, to dine at the White House. The resulting uproar over the perceived impropriety appeared to restrain Roosevelt, who never repeated the invitation. While Roosevelt appointed progressive judges and initially encouraged the prosecution of peonage cases in the South, his administration eventually retreated from these efforts, lacking the political will to uproot the systems of involuntary servitude that existed in the South.

As you can see, even PBS aknowledges that Teddy Roosevelt was the beginning of the progressive movement. Never mind the fact that PBS attempts to falsely place some progressivism in a positive light, but I assure you, this is where the country began to turn away from American Ideals. They point out the items that he championed as if they were all good and pure------but as we Conservatives know, this is a mis-painting of progressive deeds.
Here is a bit of honesty from the article, some of which continues in progressivism to this day---

Progressives sought the elimination of government corruption, women’s suffrage, social welfare, prison reform, prohibition, and civil liberties. While the progressive promotion of public health initiatives and universal education benefitted everyone, especially the poor and immigrants, progressives did not organize to promote black suffrage or equal rights.
