If I might add, the article is seeking to draw a comparison between President Bush and Woodrow Wilson. Wilson was a failure and a bigot. He ushered in an Era in which the Confederacy was romanticized, rather than despised by many Northern whites. Under his auspices, the KKK not only flourished, but also spread rapidly throughout the North and South. Wilson was also a "Progressive," which meant he favored a powerful, centralized government, run by "experts." After he involved us in World War I, Wilson was responsible for the Federal seizure of large parts of the economy, including the railroads, as well as a virtual total suspension of civil rights. People were imprisoned for any public dissent about the war. This might have been excusable in a perverse sense if Wilson had known what he was doing in the war itself, but he didn't. His incompetence in dealing with the aftermath of World War I resulted in the rejection of his ideas even at home.
Let me just say this - George W. Bush is NOT Woodrow Wilson!
It has been so satisfying lately to savor all the different horrors our President is not -- not Al, not Bill, not Hill, not Pat, and yes, not Woodrow!
