Top 10 Dumbest Quotes by Progressive Republican Hero Theodore Roosevelt

6. “I don’t go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe 9 out of 10 are, and I shouldn’t like to inquire too closely into the case of the 10th.”

Racism is the crudest form of collectivism. This statement was made very early in Roosevelt’s political career, in 1886. Using this youthful statement, we can get a better view inside of Roosevelt’s mind. One can’t help but recognize that progressives and liberals alike have often been linked with racist statements like these, even as they claim to be “open-minded” and welcoming. It is interesting to wonder if this ignorance is somehow linked with a deep-rooted belief in a government which interferes in the lives of so many citizens.
