Beck and Goldberg are wrong. Wilson was no villain. A fumbling idealist, yes, but not a monster.
“Wilson was no villain. A fumbling idealist, yes,”
If you value free speech, abhor racism, think the Fed and the income tax have destroyed us,,,etc etc. The differences are at best, academic. he was a b@stard first class who destroyed lives.
And why is it so hard to call someone a villian when they display a haughty elitist arrogance which they forcefully impose on those they view as beneath them? Sound like the definition of a villian to me. Hell, even Lenin and Hitler were “idealists”.

“Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
