This editorial is about a new book which takes a new look at Warren Harding, remembered by most as an incompetent womanizer who accomplished nothing while corruption flourished under his nose. There’s no doubt that Harding had his faults, but he also had some accomplishments, and his over-rated predecessor, Woodrow Wilson, was a much darker figure than history acknowleges.
For those interested in American history.
Wilson can be said to be the progenitor of a federal government that was ‘changed’ allowing it to be steered ever so slowly and furtively over many decades to the present along a path to which it began to slither towards socialism and wealth redistribution.
1913.
Wilson is so overrated. I also think the Harding adminstration and the Klinton administration were similar in respect to the deep corruption of both.
“Woodrow Wilson, was a much darker figure than history acknowleges”
I’ve only heard it mentioned a couple of times in documentaries,
but I was suprised to hear about Wilson having a screening of D.W. Griffith’s
in the White House”Birth Of A Nation” in which the KKK are portrayed
as noble warriors defending the country against demonic black Americans.
Although it is reported that Wilson later disavowed approval of
the film’s topic, it is suprising he even allowed it to screened
in “the people’s house”.
