I've seen them before and they are ugly. None of them would have wanted their face there so who is actually being honored?

Teddy did. That's why his face is included

While Teddy was the self-aggrandizing type who probably wouldn't have objected to having his face carved into a mountain, Rushmore wasn't even proposed until long after Teddy's political career was over.

I dunno, Theodore was also a reknowned appreciator of natural beauty, so I could see it going either way.

Yes, he protected land like this from developers. He's the reason we have national parks. No way he would have approved this.
