In this Blaze Media article from The Glenn Beck Program, Glenn Beck examines a newly revealed Theodore Roosevelt letter to expose the eugenicist and collectivist roots of progressivism.
- In the letter to Charles Davenport, Roosevelt argued society should not permit “degenerates to reproduce their kind,” comparing it to farmers culling poor livestock and stating the “inescapable duty of the good citizen of the right type is to leave his blood behind him.”
- Beck highlights Roosevelt’s belief in government as “stewards of the public welfare” rather than servants of the law, including support for overriding court decisions via popular vote.
- The letter, displayed at the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, reveals progressivism’s emphasis on categories, experts, and strong government action based on “settled science” of the era.
- Roosevelt’s views on property as subject to community regulation and eugenics foreshadow modern progressive policies prioritizing the collective over the individual.
- Beck contrasts Roosevelt’s positive legacies like national parks with his dangerous ideology, noting it laid groundwork for later statist overreach.
- The exhibit underscores how early 20th-century progressivism, dressed in patriotic rhetoric, always trended toward elite control and social engineering.
