Why is Teddy Roosevelt riding Abraham Lincoln in this picture? I feel as if it should be the other way around.

[–]EpicusMaximus 13 points14 points ago

[–]apextek 1 point2 points ago

i dont know what you did, but it wouldn't let me back out of your link to this page

[–]enhancin 0 points1 point ago

Redirect. Double click back or right click the back button.

[–]BrockRockswell 1 point2 points ago

Seniority.

[–]merkuh_thats_why 1 point2 points ago

Because 'merkuh

[–]gordofrog 1 point2 points ago

That's Teddy Roosebear, Roosevelt was at least 4 times as badass.

[–]Take_Boat 4 points5 points ago*

I can see where the confusion comes from, there are a number of stories involving Teddy Roosevelt and bears, including the ever-popular "Theodore Roosebear" stuffed animals you mention.

When Teddy Roosevelt was president he would offer to settle disagreements with other politicians in an arm wrestling match, although this offer was only accepted twice. The first occasion was against Secretary of War Elihu Root and ended before it began when Roosevelt shattered Root's hand in his mighty grip.

This strategy allowed Roosevelt to manage his own fractious Republican Party, but Senator Henry Cabot Lodge rankled at the control. Lodge spent months laboriously growing out his facial hair to such a degree that he might be mistaken for a bear and, having done so, accepted the president's challenge over a disagreement related to railroad regulations.

Henry Cabot Lodge, of course, had no intention of having his bones crushed to powder and sent a 1100-pound Kodiak Grizzly wearing a suit to the White House in his place. The ruse was undone when TR recognized the bear from his time in the "Rough Bear Riders" regiment in Cuba but decided to wrestle the bear anyway, for laughs (the president won 3 of 5 matches.)

Later that week, President Roosevelt mistook the actual Lodge for a bear and shot him twice as he exited the Senate chambers. Lodge survived and the two would go on to become lifelong friends.

I wanted that to be true so bad. well done sir... well done :clap..... clap.....clap:

[–]gordofrog 0 points1 point ago

Oh wow, that explains so much. TIL

[–]Slowstrider 0 points1 point ago

your argument is void, the bear has a mustache

[–]Gr33nDr4G0N 0 points1 point ago

Came here to say exactly this! Upvote for you.

[–]sneeze_and_fart 10 points11 points ago

This picture is obviously fake. The flag doesn't have the right amount of stars.

[–]googleyman 4 points5 points ago

Number of stripes is false as well. Whoever the artist is needs to get their facts straight!

[–]Talvoren 6 points7 points ago

Was expecting something involving shitty beer and white trash. Very glad I was disappointed.

[–]damullettwhisperer 4 points5 points ago

Safe to say I just found my new desktop background.

[–]Snapperhead 1 point2 points ago

You stole this from Smosh!

[–]zcook925 1 point2 points ago

I saw this somewhere about a month ago, and I decided that it was perfect for my iPad. It's been my background ever since.

[–]Devavres 1 point2 points ago

FUCK YEAH!

COMIN' AGAIN TO SAVE THE MOTHERFUCKIN' DAY YEAH!

[–]rawrc 1 point2 points ago

Excuse me, the bear with the monocle and top hat is clearly British. Obvious attempt to restore the monarchy. Go back to Welshingtonvillebergshire.

[–]ekbowler 1 point2 points ago

This'll be the final boss in Assassin's Creed 3.

[–]BajczTheDamned 1 point2 points ago

I do not understand why a bear with a monocle is indicative of America...

[–]littlewozo 1 point2 points ago

This is the only Republican poster I like.

[–]jlettuce07 1 point2 points ago

aBEARham lincoln...

[–]apextek 0 points1 point ago

Inaccurate, Lincoln is not from Peru.

[–]NID0RIN0 0 points1 point ago

Why isn't Abe violently steaking the undead whilst wearing a collage of garlic?

Feel like a sir.

[–]spaceghost1 0 points1 point ago

Picture, Y U Make No Sense!??!

[–]loafula 0 points1 point ago

That should be an eagle on Lincoln's back.

[–]SmilinWillie 0 points1 point ago

Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "Bear Calvary"

[–]ALLISAYISOK -1 points0 points ago

OK!

[–]Tebasaki -3 points-2 points ago

Yay! We're finally spelling Murica with a 'u'!

[–]theghostofme 1 point2 points ago

No matter how you spell it, you still come off as an idiot.

[–]Tebasaki 0 points1 point ago

Hence illustrating the point of this great country. Plan successful!

[–][deleted] -4 points-3 points ago

OMG SO EPIC AND RANDOM LOLOLOL

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

Isn't there a picture that's basically Abe Lincoln on a bear with an AR-15 and holding up the constitution while said bear is vomiting a rainbow?

[–]slayer8a -3 points-2 points ago

Bullshit. Roosevelt didn't wear a monocle. He wore wire-rimmed glasses with a cord/chain on one side only. Besides, no self-respecting leader of the Progressive Movement would ever ride a Lincoln. Go Green.

[–]slayer8a -2 points-1 points ago

No, it was actually called the Progressive Movement but nice try with your attempt to turn a humor site into your global fight for the people of Panama. I hear the weather is nice this time of year.

[–]StaRkill3rZ -1 points0 points ago

mother fuckin lasers

[–]DoctorBagels -1 points0 points ago

Thank you for having the artistic skill, patience, and sense of humor to create awesome shit like this.

Hats off, arrows up.

[–]mysterly -1 points0 points ago

Abraham Lincoln obviously should be holding a silver battle axe and killing Edward Cullen. cough cough Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

[–]BaconChapstick -1 points0 points ago

Shit, I remember when this was first posted by the creator. It was an inside joke between his friends and himself. I asked him to draw the reddit alien after it and he did, holding a little tube of Bacon Chapstick. It was awesome.

[–]prodigyx -3 points-2 points ago

Lincoln is arguably one of the worst president in american history. Certainly not one that rednecks ('MURICA) would be glorifying.

[–]elmarko44 -2 points-1 points ago

Fuck Yeah!!

[–]FunMonkeyDisease -2 points-1 points ago

Canadian bears are the ones that shoot lasers out of their eyes

[–]ZayneD -2 points-1 points ago

Fancy bear leading a rough revolution while riding his gallant Abe Lincoln with lasers coming out of his eyes. Your argument is invalid.

[–]apextek -2 points-1 points ago

silly artist, only Peruvians swoop in to save the day while shooting lasers out of their eyes.

[–]M0b1u5 -2 points-1 points ago
