How Much More Alpha Was Theodore Than Most Presidents?

[Speaker to Animals]

Teddy is the second greatest man to ever live after Caesar.

I don't care if Caesar was the Queen of Bithinya, it was a different era

It wasn't even okay then.

I know that. That's why the Queen of Bithinya name lives on to this day.

Roman idea of homosex was like jail rules. All good if you're the one giving it, bad if you're the bitch

To continue:
Teddy was the most famous man in the world. Riding up San Juan Hill, with a troop he assembled & led, in the only successful cavalry charge in history against an entrenched position against guns, his horse was shot out from under him, and both men to either side were killed. He lost his son while exploring the source of the Amazon in Ecuador, and ultimately died of the Yellow Fever he contracted there. His hunting collection was the start of the Museum of Natural History. He ESTABLISHED, organized, and funded as president the Conservation movement. His face is on Mt. Rushmore, for crissakes.

Not an Alpha! My god, what the hell else do you call that shit?!

Does it really count as a "cavalry charge" when the cavalry in question was dismounted?

[Martin Hash]

Teddy's my guy because I include Meta qualities in the "Alpha" definition. If being an Alpha's Alpha means wiping out Indians, being of suspect intelligence, and founder of the Democratic Party, I'm not ready to go there.

I didn't find that in Morris' 3 volume Roosevelt biography; perhaps you could provide a page number?

I'm sure we've all listened here, but Bolelli's HoF series on TR is epic

If party affiliation factors into your definition of meta, then chances are you're unqualified to define the term.

They left most of the horses in Florida. Teddy dismounted his horse. I don't have those volumes in my personal library, but I could give you page numbers to books that you probably don't have.

Okay. Give me page numbers, I'll Google it. Plus, I can cross-reference using Google.

You're confusing Alpha & Meta. (But the Party thing was just to be funny anyway.)
