I imagine his campaign stops would be marred by protests ranging from PETA with naked models painted like a leopard to the dour Demanding Mommies with their orange t-shirts. Then some sanctimonious twit from the mainstream media would then be accusing Teddy of advocating bullying when he gleefully shouted, &#8220;Bully!&#8221;, at the protesters.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to read more of Teddy Roosevelt, the link above is to a free Kindle edition of his book.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sporting Classics Daily published an excerpt from Theodore Roosevelt&#8217;s Hunting Trips of a Ranchman yesterday.
