Where’s the barf alert ? Wilson was a monster and begat the modern-day leftist Democrat menace.

If Wilson were here today to see the state of affairs in this nation, I have no doubt his response would be;

I guess this author forgot the part about re-segregation of the military by Wilson.

He was the first person to inspire the masses of the world with the vision of enduring peace...

Yeah. That whole League of Nations thing worked out real well following the "War to End All Wars". *Sheesh*!

The love affair the left has with Wilson amazes me considering how he unilaterally federalized segregation.

What would Woodrow Wilson say?

"Damn, it's real hot down here."

Yet, he fails to ask the FAR more important question:

What would Brian Boitano do ?

"and of the acceptance and imposition of international law "

The first major 'One-World' lunatic to hold the most powerful office in the world.

We are all still suffering the effects of things he did so many decades ago

"Wilson was the greatest prophet of the Twentieth Century, in many ways surpassing and even presaging Gandhi and Mandela"

Even surpassing His Holiness Mandela! Wow!

Complete rubbish.

Wilson was the worst president in US history precisely because he thought he was better and smarter than everyone else. Federal Reserve, Income Tax, decoupling US States from their US Senators (17th Amendment), Prohibition and involving the USA in a war we had no business being involved in and that later led to the emergence of Nazi Germany, all of these things happened on his watch.

With the exception of the repeal of Prohibition decades later, all of Wilson’s ‘visions’ have resulted in taking away freedom and badly damaging our republican form of government.

Wilson in Hell
by Robinson Jeffers

Roosevelt died and met Wilson; who said “I
blundered into it
Through honest error, and conscience cut me so deep that
I died
In the vain effort to prevent future wars. But you
Blew on the coal-bed, and when it kindled you deliberately
Sabotaged every fire-wall that even the men who denied
My hope had built. You have too much murder on your
hands. I will not
Speak of the lies and connivings. I cannot understand the
Mercy
That permits us to meet in the same heaven.—Or is this
my hell?”

Interestingly, I am currently reading a history of the 1920’s, originally pubished titled “Only Yesterday”, by Frederick Lewis Allen.

http://www.amazon.com/Yesterday-Hardcover-Frederick-Lewis-Allen/dp/1849029520/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1388950357&sr=8-1

This guy pretty much rips on Wilson in a couple of the early chapters..had him pegged as an “idealist”, and essentially ineffective as POTUS.

interesting to gain some insight into a real historical perspective, not done through the filter of post-modernism.

Check it out.

As a reader of many of Black’s columns where he very often has quite a level headed view of matters, this one seems totally out in left field....

"...Woodrow Wilson is widely disparaged as an ineffectual dreamer..."

No. He is widely disparaged as a dangerous liberal statist, who, if he had been more effective, would had torpedoed the USA.

He was a liberal, statist turd, and it bothers me to see his visage on a dime.

What would Wilson say?

“Hey, you know that Marx guy has some great ideas. Let’s nationalize it because the little people are too stupid to make their own decisions.”
