Why Ted Roosevelt Was The Ultimate American BAMF
Lets be honest with ourselves here, people. Whatever your opinions on imperialism, indian killing, industrialism, or overextending international police powers; Theodore Roosevelt was a fucking BAMF.
1) Born in 1858, Ted was an asthmatic from birth. Doctors told his father that he would die before his sixth birthday. Ted’s dad would not accept this, and instead had Teddy exercising for hours everyday, eventually eradicating his asthma. Ted was so badass, illness RAN THE FUCK AWAY.
2) As a young boy, he created his own small “Museum of Natural History”, as he was fascinated by all living things and nature. He even learned rudimentary taxidermy from his exploits as a kid. He was a fucking nerd, but a nerd who knew what he was doing. More badass points.
3) As a sunday school teacher, Ted once gave a kid who got a black eye from fighting a bully a dollar as a reward for sticking up for himself. badass.
4) He left the Navy in 1898 to go volunteer for war in Cuba. He formed the 1st u.s Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, otherwise known as, the fucking Rough Riders. BADASS.
5)October 14th 1912, our bamf stepped out of a car to wave to a crowd, and was shot in the chest. A shot president falls, is picked up by advisers, hopefully lives through the night, cancels any other engagements. Not this fucker. No no. He refuses any doctors to look at him, and gives a fucking speech for ninety minutes. And guess what fellas? HE FUCKING LEAVES IT THERE. He had a bullet in him for 7 years until he died. FUCKING BAMF
6) oh yeah, and for fun, he wrestled BEARS.
Who was Theodore Roosevelt? A FUCKING BADASS MOTHER FUCKER WITH TWO HUGE, BRASS BALLS.
