Who needs the public john at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. to take a greasy dump when Thomas Woodrow Wilson's coffin is in the open just a dump away?
Woodrow Wilson was a traitor, like so many presidents to come. He was the first puppet of the Federal Reserve, AKA Rothschilds and Rockefellers. He was a disgrace to this country.
Russia was one of the most repressive regimes in Europe--Austrohungary existed as a buffer of states that did not want to be part of Russia. The lightbulb was invented in russia but was viewed as a threat to the Tsar, so it went nowhere. Tsarist Russia has little to offer in its defense, even when compared to the hypocrisy of Britain and the US.
yes russia was the black sheep when it came to the allies, but they werent necessarily a threat during ww1 (although yes, berlin was a big scandal). 100 years ago, there was but little knowledge of what democracy was; the general belief was prolly that it would fail. this went on for too long...lets agree to disagree-_-
No matter how many of you haters continue to bitch Woodrow Wilson will all ways be one of the greatest Presidents of the United States of America rest in peace number 28th.
Woodorw Wilson completely segregated the United States government, overturning one of the main reasons we fought the Civil War!!! THIS IS FACT, YOU STUPID PEOPLE; LEARN YOUR HISTORY!
Right you are! He also opposed women's right to vote until pressured by public opinion and Theodore Roosevelt. Further, he refused to prepare the country in a timely manner for WWI and his stubborness led to the failure of the League of Nations. At best, a mixed record.
Read Milton Cooper's book: Woodrow Wilson, A Biography. A masterpiece, runner-up Pulitzer prize winning Biography of an intriguing character in American History. Do not, however, appeal to Glenn Beck.
Wilson did not abandon the gold standard, FDR ended the gold standard in 1933 because it was a failing system that allowed panics because the government had no way to control inflation. Anyway had it been up to Wilson, he would have had a government controlled bank, the Federal reserve was a compromise between those who wanted a government bank and those who wanted to continue the unstable system of the day. Try doing a little research on Wilson's other successes, he was one of our best.
For some reason Congress doesnt believe they have the power to print money, they make the damn laws, how the hell can some private citizens who own banks tell a country what to do? Well thats how it works, it makes no sense at all for a government to have to pay interest on every dollar of it's OWN money.. That is the problem with the world, a starving country gets an offer of a billion dollars from the World Bank, they ofcourse cant refuse, but then they cant pay back the interest and get owned
wilson was a mixed bag, he did some great progressive things with the economy and foreign policy, while letting his racist southern beliefs re-segregate government workers and he flat out ignored jim crow and kkk lynchings.
abandoning the gold standard was a good thing. it took away a limited amount of money that was being greedily hoarded by a few robber barons, thereby allowing the economy to grow.
You guys need to stop watching Glenn Beck so much and actually read a scholarly history book. Glenn Beck is just profiting off of all of you, and I'm sure he's laughing all the way to the bank.
billyguns2: seriously? some of your 'best presidents' choices aren't particularly terrible, I'll admit, but jackson, harrison, grant? the guys were idiots. Jackson lead the us into the Panic of 1857, Harrison was afraid of electricity, and Grant lead one of the most corrupt administrations in history. But I'll leave you to your opinions, I suppose.
To continue my response: the worst U.S. presidents, IMO ar as follows, with Wilson, L.B. Johnson, G.W. Bush and Truman being the absolute worst: Polk, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln, A. Johnson, Hayes, McKinley, T. Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson, Hoover, F.D. Roosevelt, Truman, L.B. Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, G.H.W. Bush, Clinton, G.W. Bush, Obama.
WOW lincoln and roosevelt one of the worst, now i can undersyand not liking wilson that much, even reagan and LBJ, but Lincoln and Roosevelt? Wow...just stop commenting and kill yourself.
It's a shame people will depend on the press and media for their information. Thomas Jefferson said "nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle." Wilson was an evil man!! A devout Racist! Do some honest research, do not be lulled in by the "Progressive Movement"!
One can passively accept the establishment record of American History and repeat its lies like a good robot, or one can examine the record and think for one's self; if one chooses the latter course, Wilson and all he stood for comes up the polar opposite of what we've been taught.
Woodrow Wilson destroyed the sound economic monetary system of the United States. Let's hear it for the men who believed in sound money controlled by the people and backed by real gold and silver: Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, John Tyler, Ulysses Grant, Rutherford Hayes, James Garfield, Grover Cleveland, and John F. Kennedy.
@billyguns2 Its called WW1, he needed to fund it,also the federal reserve act was a compromise by both parties who wanted bank reform legislation.And did you know the gold standard prolonged or even caused the great depression,economist even today argue that it was the gold standard that hindered central banks to mitigate in times of economic diress.It also hinders growing economies because currency would be limited to gold supply.
@MillaHead Gold caused the Great Depression? I've never heard that before. I'm not disagreeing with you and not call you mean names, but I've been taught it was people buying stocks on credit that caused it. Maybe it was a combination of both. If you could elaborate I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
@billyguns2 Actually Money backed by gold is not really the best way to go, money should be distributed based on the population increase. The use of Fiat money would be the way to go. Julius Ceaser started using money made from bronze and copper, and Rome thrived.. Congress needs to step up and say look, we are the ones who will be printing money now, tell the bankers to go to hell and kiss their interest goodbye, what would the private bankers do? I hatwe how congress is scared of bankers...
@billyguns2 Ha...That's funny. Wilson helped establish the Federal Reserve System. If he hadn't done that, we wouldn't be where we are today. We would have been destroyed in WWI, and our economy would be devastated. He was one of the greatest leaders we've had, in my opinion.
@BeamSword0 Thanks to the Fed the U.S. dollar has lost over 95% of its value, something that had never happened before; and just where ARE we today? A once great nation is now run by liars, thieves, and murderers at OUR expense! Our economy IS devastated. What planet do you live on, or do you work for the privileged government, which conveniently exempts its employees from most of the onerous laws they pass? I should run for Congress so I wouldn't have to work for a living.
@BeamSword0 Just like all "progressives" who laud the appalling Woodrow Wilson, you conveniently ignore his racism and self-righteous inability to work with Congress as well as his repentance and regret for ever having signed the Fed into power. He fundamentally detested the way America was founded, as do all "progressives."
@billyguns2 I don't ignore his racism, I pardon it. I also don't support his legislation, or policies. What I do support is how he went about the nation's economy. With the creation of the Anti-trust laws, he strengthened and secured the Stockmarket. Without those laws, we wouldn't BE a country. We'd be a little village with a worthless dollar.
@BeamSword0 Wilson's greatest accomplishments were the many thousands of dead American in World War One and the Depression of 1920. Fortunately,he was followed in office by two really great presidents Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge who cleaned up much of his mess.
@sleedolfine15 we were barely involved in world war 1, not counting munition and artillery borrowing out. were in less than i think 3 significant battles and calvin coolidge and harding did SHIT besides have an epic name. Dont fool yourself, wilson wasnt the greatest president, but those presidents you names were no better
@IKIndaLoveScreamo Total American casulties in World War One was roughly 320,518. The fact that we were only in the war one year(one year too many)did'nt prevent a whole lot of U.S. troops from getting killed,wounded,or otherwised messed with. As for Harding and Coolidge "doing shit" ,in your words, I call giving the country peace and prosperity doing quite a lot. Or do you define a great president as someone who destroy our liberties,our economy and manage to get a whole lot of us killed?
@sleedolfine15 they didnt give the country peace and prosperity, the public willed it. they wanted a return to "normalicy" and in the end thats what they got. in all pragmatism, it is impossible to completely stay out of war, especially a world war at that. to blame wilson on our involvement in the war is completely one sided and a fallacy. it would have been inevitable to some degree, no matter the president residing in office at that time.
@IKIndaLoveScreamo Harding inherited the Depression of 1920 from Wilson which he cured with tax & budget cuts. As for the war,actually quite a few countries managed to stay out of war. In fact,the U.S. managed to avoid the slaughter for years 1 through 3 of the 4 year war. We could have avoided the whole bloody mess had this country not had the misfortune of being led by a President who embraced a pro-British/anti-German foreign policy. Wilson's misplaced idealism got us into the war.
@sleedolfine15 the reason we joined the war is because russia pulled out, therefore leaving a burden on the allies which they may not have be able to undertake. if russia had not pulled out, there more than likely would have never been a world war 1 for america. they did, however, and america got passed the hot potato, whether we liked it or not. wilson did what he had to do to make sure the central powers did not break allied defenses, which they were in fact on the brink of
@IKIndaLoveScreamo We entered the war against a nation which did us no harm because (1) Wilson had a proBritish bias which caused him to look for opportunities to justify going to war against the Germans--in spite of his 1916 campaign pledge to " keep us out of war " and (2) Wilson was an idealist who wanted to see an end to war & dictatorship and he felt that only as part of the victorious side in the war could he have a role in dictating the new world order that would follow that war.
@sleedolfine15 a country that did us no harm? really? i mean...i guess if you dont count the zimmerman note...or the call for unrestricted submarine warfare...or the SINKING OF THE LUSITANIA and several american merchant ships?! if you completely avoid all that then sure, why not. and also, wilson knew that if germany and her allies got control of europe, there would be nothing stopping her from attacking america. he did what was in the best interest for america as a nation
@IKIndaLoveScreamo Germany had every right to sink armed belligerent ships such as the Lusitania travelling in a war zone and if Americans were foolishly on such vessels whose fault was it? The Germans warned Americans to stay off of British vessels in war zones.Wison ignored it. The Royal Navy's blockade of German port was starving German civilians in violation of law and U-boat attacks were a legitimate reaction. You think the Kaiser was out to conquer the world? Give me a break.
@sleedolfine15 the lusitania was a cruise liner, far from a destroyer.and you fail to call into question the other motions at war that germany made towards america, such as flirting with mexico, knowing that they had a grude against america in regards to the poncho villa incidents going on more importantly, even if germany did not provoke america, as it did, wilson still had a legitimate reason to be in the war, to stop Germany, a near dictatorship, from taking over the greater part of europe
@IKIndaLoveScreamo Sec. of State Bryan revealed to Wilson that the Lusitania had 5,000 cases of ammunition on board,making the ship a legitimate war target.(which would also explain why the vessel sank so quickly). Zimmerman in his note proposed a military alliance between Germany & Mexico,but only because of Germany's perfectly reasonable fear that the U.S. was on the verge of abandoning neutrality. WW1 was one of many european world wars. Why fear that this war was a threat to U.S. security?
@sleedolfine15 even with the that, did germany know that the lusitania had ammunition on board? or did they fire blind? and the fear was that this was one of the few times that a single power was about to control Europe, especially a communist one. the spread of communism is a threat to democracy everywhere, this was one of the few ones where we took preventative measures to stop a threat such as Germany
@IKIndaLoveScreamo Germany was not a communist country during World War One. Germany's political system was a monarchy and it's economic system was probably a mixed economy. The first communist country--Russia,was still in the middle of it's revolution during World War One and would not become communist until WW1 was nearly over so there was no realistic threat of the spread of communism. I think you may have misspoke there. Also,a hundred years before Napoleon was a greater threat to Europe.
Read James Loewen's LIES MY TEACHER TAUGHT ME for an accurate and devastating account of the disastrous and tyrannical Wilson presidency. Most Americans don't know that he was sending troops al over the plavce long before World War I, meddling in Latin America, Mexico, and even Russia!
I love it how everywhere can judge Presidents on their actions during a contentious period solely for the negative aspects. In that case, every leader who has ever existed is a criminal.
@Firstworldleader You are an extremist, an ultra-negativist, if you really mean what you say here; if we are not held accountable, what do we have? No values, no ethics, no laws, no morals, no role models. There are many great leaders who performed admirably during contentious times, and there are those who did not.
@billyguns2 he sent them to mexico cause the germans fucking sent the zimmermen telegram there otherwise he had nothing to do with those damn countries dumbass
Why did past presidents wear top hats? I recently watched programs on the History Channel on Kennedy. He was wearing a top hat in the 1960's. How come we haven't seen recent pres in them. Maybe B.O. could start a new trend.
He strongly supported Albanian cause for indepence ,and in 1920 he defendef Albania at the Paris Conference of Peace .He promised our Bishop Fan S. Noli that He has a voice in the coference and He will use it for the benefit of Albania .Although Albania declared indepence from Ottoman Empire on the 28 November 1912 ,President Willson made sure that Albania get full support and to be memder of the League Of Nations.
You could very well and accurately be accused of false advertising here. You label this "Woodrow Wilson Speaking," suggesting that you are posting recordings of his voice. Instead we get these films, which, having been made before the mid-to-late 1920s, are silent. You could accurately describe these as "Footage of Woodrow Wilson, 1913 and 1916. Please do so in the future.
I for one never care to hear this vile,. contemptible, nation wrecker speak; we are still paying for his insanity. He sold us out, and I think he even came to realize it at the end.
However much you might hate Wilson (I don't, but am by no means a fan), his recordings are historical documents and should be heard. Lenin made records as well. Now, this guy was as evil an SOB as ever lived, but his records, too, are historical documents. So are the records of Hitler and Goebbels' speeches. God dammit, you don't have to agree with them (and nobody should) But they should be heard for HISTORY's sake --
@stevevandien Why not be specific and tells us why one of our most visionary presidents ever is so evil, other than some lush on foxnews told you to think that way, maybe you should do some research before you spout ignorance and youll realize how way ahead of his time this great man was.
@MillaHead I never said or even implied that Wilson was evil, because I don't believe he was. When I say "this guy", I'm referring to Lenin, not Wilson. I see now that I could have made this clearer. Please accept my apologies for not doing so. Best, Steve
This man was a racist!!! Yes he won the war for the USA but he did not like black people. Therefore not a good leader of Black, white people and other races in the USA.
The United States was lost forever on March 20, 1913 when this appalling person became President. There were a few bright spots- Harding and Coolidge tried to overturn many of Wilson's atrocities- but then came Hoover, one of Wilson's "bright boys" as President, followed by the equally appalling FDR. Truman and Ike at least didn't expand these horrors, and JFK gave us a huge tax cut; but it's been downhill since, with an ever more powerful Fed.
You really must not believe what the all powerful Fed and perverted educational system wants you to believe; do your own research and you'll find just how appalling Woodrow Wilson was, both personally ( a rabid racist, anti-feminist and xenophobe) and politically ( WW I was total unnecessary; he gave and us the Fed and the IRS which have wrecked our economy; and he established the insane idea that the US has a God given right to "save the world." )
Wilson handled WW1 enormously well, considering that America had never been the world player it was called upon to be at the time. However, the Wilson administration was probably the least friendly to blacks than any other.
Are you kidding me Wilson let the Federal Reserve Bank in this country and all you got to do is look at what they have done. Dont you know what the founders warned about when it came to the banks? Are you really that stupid?...My god no wonder your a welfare/Welfare country with people that think like you... Get informed moron the banks have robbed your family's future by & with you consent. GOOGLE
Benjamin Freedmen and learn the truth for Christ sakes
Explain to me exactly why Woodrow WIlson was a Fascist. You can't can you, his liberty bonds were a great thing, he handeled World War One in a great way, and he through that Socialist agiatator Eugene V. Debs in jail where he belonged. Wilson kept a firm hand on this nation. He fought monopolism like TR and Taft did he was not the monster you make him out to be. He was a devoted Christain and kept us on the Gold Standard and did not listen to the Bryan's of his party. The only thing he did that
I disagree with was establish the Income Tax and establish the Federal Reserve other than that he was a good president. My two favorite decisions he made were Liberty Bonds, and his Anti Trust Act. He also lowered tariffs for the first time in a long time. He is not the epitome of conservatism. He made two horrible decisions yes (the Fed and the income tax in my view are a bad thing), but he guided us through WW, he along with McKinley and TR are the 3 biggest reason America is a world power.
Woodrow Wilson was one of the people responsible for re-establishing a central bank, which is why the United States is in a permanent and irreversible state of debt. With one bank loaning to a country on interest, it is completely impossible to pay back without accumulating debt. Thanks Woodrow Wilson for fucking up our economy and making it impossible for Joe's like me to get a job decades later... dick.
Woodrow Wilson=War Criminal. While I respect his vision for a world free of war, there is no doubt in my mind, as in the mind of many others, that U.S. involvment in WWI was completley unnecessary.
we went in by the bogus ship wreck insident. wilson was gonna get us in that war one reason or another. and germany did not want us to go to war!! u.s tipped the scales for victory for the allies. no germany didnt want us to go to war, americans did want to go to war, the question is WHO DID? WHO benefited and youll find your answer.
Funny thing is that the Founding Fathers disagree with most of you. They never would have interveened in WWI. And don't tell me our ships were attacked unprovoked. It's now well known that we were shiping weapons and the Germans knew it. As far as the harsh treaty, you should realize that the Europeans wouldn't have been able to impose such a harsh treaty if the US hadn't ended the stalemate. And btw, the Federal reserve was largly responsible for causing the Depression via bad fiscal policy.
Also, if we stayed out of WWI there would have been no winner of WWI and no Hitler, WWII, holicost, or cold war. The deaths of millions would have been avoided. Thanks
the Central powers were pretty much beaten by the time untied states got there dumb-ass. wow Wilson saving millions of American lives and you turn it around and make it a bad thing. idiot
Wilson was a very effective Governor of New jersey, but would have to be looked upon historically as an ineffective President. His stubborn inability to compromise on his 14 points ultimately led to his political demise.
Dangerous idiot? This was the guy that got us through World War One, had the foresight to advise the people of Europe not to punish Germany (but they didn't listen), and created the precursor to the United Nations. He also created the Federal Reserve and was a trustbuster. While Taft and Roosevelt we're bad, I don't think it's fair to call Wilson a "dangerous idiot"
The reasons you list are reason enough for me to call him a "dangerous idiot," especially the all-powerful Federal Reserve which has made our money almost worthless. We are still suffering from his insane notion that the USA has the God-given right to march into any country we please, in order to "save" it. George W Bush is the spiritual grandchild of this racist monster, also an ardent supporter of the Ku Klux Klan. He is indefensible, arguably the worst president in our history.
Really? So how would Europe look right now without our intervention in the war? What would the UN be if it wasn't for the Leauge of Nations? What would have happened if Wilson had a pro-monopoly mentality? I don't disagree that he had some problems, but he's not the worst president by far.
No less a figure than Winston Churchill was against the U.S. entry into WW I, saying that "the stronger forces for right would have settled it anyway (sic) " What a waste of American treasure! WW II is a different matter, of course. The UN is mostly a useless bunch of =====. Of course, I believe that the government exists to protect ME, not the privileged FEW in the name of the many (liars.)
TR supported the KKK also.Intervention/invasion of foreign lands cannot just be attributable to Wilson or Bush. McKinley, TR, Truman, Ike, JFK, LBJ, all had interventionist policies.
Woodrow Wilson was the worst of all of them. It is true he is the spiritual father of all the interventionists who followed. If I am not mistaken, TR did not shed one drop of his countryman's blood when he was President. The best Presidents for me are Washington, Monroe, Cleveland, and Coolidge. Ulysses Grant and Warren Harding have gotten bum raps by historians. "Let us have peace." Did Ike intervene anywhere? He gave us 8 years of peace.
I don't believe it was much of a buildup, and no American lost his life when Ike was in office; JFK increased the buildup, recognized the error of our involvement there and was making plans to extricate us but couldn't complete his task because he was killed. LBJ of course gave the warmongers everything they wanted, and was disastrous for the nation, almost as bad as Wilson but I give him higher marks because of Civil Rights.
This is true, but it began somewhere, and who's to say what Nixon would have done (Ike 3) if he'd not been robbed by LBJ and Mayor Daley/Mafia in 1960. It's a matter of debate if JFK would have indeed pulled out of Vietnam. At the time, there were 16,000 "advisors", or as Malcolm put it, wryly, "16,000 fronline 'advisors'".
"[No] American lost his life when Ike was in office." According to your logic, NO Americans died FOR WHATEVER REASON during Eisenhower's eight years as president. Will you retract this absurdly inaccurate statement? AND will you sharpen your thinking sufficiently so you will not make such indefensible statements again?
LOL! What I meant to say was that "No American died in a massive foreign entanglement when Ike was in office." Ignoring all my and many others' comments about this appalling Wilson, you seize upon the ONE error in my use of language; you must be a very difficult person to be around. Howare you liking the expansion of annother useless war in Afghanistan under the present spiritual grandchild of Woodrow Wilson? This is Wilson's legacy: perpetual meddling, because we must "save the world."
Hey, I'm easy to be around, especially at happy hour:). And I've commented about Wilson on this thread. I actually agree with your final comment. Forgive me, please, for coming down on you so hard. I'm one of those anal-retentive English majors:) --
In 1917, Wilson talked Congress into WW I. Otherwise, we shouldn't have suffered some 9,400 fatal casualties. How was Roosevelt in 1912 all that different from Wilson, if at all? Like Wilson, TR supported a powerful central government, confiscatory taxes and redistribution of wealth. So I'm baffled by those who attempt to cast Teddy as a conservative or neo-conservative. His only policy in that regard was an aggressive approach to international relations --
Thanks for helping spread the word that Teddy Roosevelt was just another imperialist statist. I think all the presidents on Mount Rushmore, excepting the great George Washington, should be removed and replaced by Calvin Coolidge, Grover Cleveland, and either Andrew Jackson or John Tyler.
Herbert Hoover's meddling, continued by FDR, prolonged the Greeat Ddpression by years; Harding had a Dperession too thanks to Woodrow WIlson, but it didn't last long because he didn't intervene. Cleveland never amde a move without consultign the Constitution. Jackson saved us from the National Central Bank ( The Federal Reserve) for a period of eighty years, and didn't kill as many people as LBJ, Nixon and Bush; Tyler defied the Whigs and was his own man.
Coolidge's isolationist policy, failure to take responsibilities for his actions, and unrestrained capitalist attitude led to the Great Depression. Stock Market Crash could be seen coming from miles away.
Cleveland split his party in two and basically saw the 15th Amendment to be unconstitutional. Relatively speaking, Cleveland was the Jimmy Carter of his day.
Jackson's stroke of luck of paying off the U.S. debt didn't save us from anything. The man was still a cold-blooded murderer and that doesn't excuse his political career.
Nixon and Bush were veterans of a war and who did LBJ ever kill? Unless you're talking about presiding over wars then I know you're just talking out of your ass.
LBJ, Nixon and George W Bush presided over completely unnecessary wars and got millions of innocent people killed under false pretenses. I see you ddin't deny my assumption that you believe in a monolithic, centralized, all-powerful state. THANK GOD Coolidge was an "isolatiionist." Harding and Coolidge gave us eight years of peace and prosperity after eight years of a madman racist in the White House.
Completely unnecessary? No war is completely unnecessary otherwise no wars would be fought at all. I'm not gonna deny that Vietnam and Iraq was a horrible mistake just like I'm not gonna deny that Wilson was a racist, but in taking down Saddam Hussein the Arab world and all outside of it was done justice.
Why didn't we take down ALL tyrannical, evil leaders int eh world then? Should the USA be the World's policeman? Do you acribe to the Woodrow Wilson belief that the USA has a god-given right to march into any country to "save it?"
"Completely unnecessary" to MY way of thinking; of course, to the military industrialists, land grabbers, and resources thieves ALL wars are necessary. The only war in our history that can be justified is WW II. WW I was the desire of thr rich to be ricjer and even Winston Churchll said that the US had no business or interest in getting involved in it.
@billyguns2 You are rigth about WW I but not about WW II. Let me correct you. I hope you don´t believe the official story about PEARL HARBOUR!
Well, in those days(1941) the deceiver Franklin Roosevelt, military industrialists and bankers elite needed a strong reason to enter WW II beacause american people where against that war. So guess what?...FR stopped economical US-Japan relationship and also oil distressed Japan. Everyone knows that a country can not function without oil.(continue below)
@billyguns2 Guess the reaction of Japan after these US actions?? That is how you get a Pearl Harbour! And let me add something cruel. FR knew about this atack many days before that horrible 7th december of 1941 and he did not do anything to avoid the killing of more than 2.000 american soldiers that morning!! This is another betrayal of an US President to his own country. It is a 911 of that days. The terror acts used by goverments to acomplish the finantial elite agenda are very old...
The man was an international criminal and dictator. Without the Vietnam war Nixon probably would've never become President and we might as easily be at war with China right now. You arguing against all wars is unrealistic and nearly asinine.
Sigh. Why is it that so many YouTube commentators feel it necessary to hurl personal insults rather than have civilized discourse? This is indicative of what our current rude media screaming has wrought! Humphrey would have probably been a far better president than Nixon, who prolonged the VietNam debacle, a lost cause, and caused irreparable harm to our nation because of Watergate: we are now NOT nation of laws., and higher ups can be pardoned.
Sorry for the many typos in my last response; typing too fast! I can see from your comments that you are a believer in the New World Order, big, centralized government exerting maximum control over the people; I am not.
I choose not to label myself, being a free thinker. My criteria for a good president is one who presided over peace, prosperity, and cherished liberty, the Republic,and the U.S. Constitution. Social liberalism, fiscal restraint and responsibility, and protection of civil liberties go a long way with me; that is why I esteem Harding, Coolidge, Tyler, Cleveland, Washington, Eisenhower, and very few others.
You do realize Woodrow Wilson was voted the 9th greatest presiden of all time while Harding was 38 and Coolidge 26. He was a rascist but who gives a fuck if he sees the nation through a world war and lays down the basis for the league of nations. The federal reserve act was a mistake wilson severely regretted, however the depression still could have been prevented by Harding and Coolidge.
I don't care what number he was voted; I rely on my OWN judgment and critical thinking, preferiing not to be one of the sheep or a parrot. World War I was totally unnecessary and cost us many of our finest young men; Winston Churchill said our involvement was not needed. Wilson caused the depression which was over very quickly under President Harding's leadership. Hoover and Rosevelt's depression lasted for nearly fifteen years!
@billyguns2 you rely on your own judgment huh? I am surprised you can tie your shoes if that is the case. Coolidge caused the depression, Hoover took the blame and Roosevelt ended it.
@Chazranman Please read THE POLICIALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO THE GREAT DEPRESSION AND THE NEW DEAL by Robert Murphy and LIES MY TEACHER TAUGHT ME by Loewen and don't believe everything you're taught in school. Woodrow Wislon's creation of the Federal Reserve caused the Depression; if Hoover had left things alone the crash would have been over quickly. Roosevelt continued Hoover's meddling which prolonged the Depression. These are the facts.
@LordIncompetent Your response to my comment makes no sense, and is not even a complete sentence; you certainly live up to your YouTuibe name. I'm always happy to have an intelligent discussion should you so desire.
@billyguns2 I'm not here to discuss anything in the hopes of convincing you that your sources are no more valid or credible than the mainstream perspective you so vehemently oppose -- after all, we both know that doing so would only be a pointless waste of time, since it would mean quarreling with someone who relies solely on his "own judgement" and material written by others who share his views exactly in order to draw conclusions and brand them "facts".
@LordIncompetent Please tell me from what sources you draw your facts and conclusions; do you have a pipeline to a superior source? I read both sides and would never just read what backs up my opinion. Contrary to your judgmental guessing about what type of person I am, I have an open mind and am willing to learn; anyone who knows me could tell you that, but you seem to simplistically live in your own little smug and self satisfied world of snap judgments.

Russia was one of the most repressive regimes in Europe--Austrohungary existed as a buffer of states that did not want to be part of Russia. The lightbulb was invented in russia but was viewed as a threat to the Tsar, so it went nowhere. Tsarist Russia has little to offer in its defense, even when compared to the hypocrisy of Britain and the US.

yes russia was the black sheep when it came to the allies, but they werent necessarily a threat during ww1 (although yes, berlin was a big scandal). 100 years ago, there was but little knowledge of what democracy was; the general belief was prolly that it would fail. this went on for too long...lets agree to disagree-_-

Wilson did not abandon the gold standard, FDR ended the gold standard in 1933 because it was a failing system that allowed panics because the government had no way to control inflation. Anyway had it been up to Wilson, he would have had a government controlled bank, the Federal reserve was a compromise between those who wanted a government bank and those who wanted to continue the unstable system of the day. Try doing a little research on Wilson's other successes, he was one of our best.

For some reason Congress doesnt believe they have the power to print money, they make the damn laws, how the hell can some private citizens who own banks tell a country what to do? Well thats how it works, it makes no sense at all for a government to have to pay interest on every dollar of it's OWN money.. That is the problem with the world, a starving country gets an offer of a billion dollars from the World Bank, they ofcourse cant refuse, but then they cant pay back the interest and get owned

wilson was a mixed bag, he did some great progressive things with the economy and foreign policy, while letting his racist southern beliefs re-segregate government workers and he flat out ignored jim crow and kkk lynchings.
abandoning the gold standard was a good thing. it took away a limited amount of money that was being greedily hoarded by a few robber barons, thereby allowing the economy to grow.

put every man, woman and child in

@sleedolfine15 they didnt give the country peace and prosperity, the public willed it. they wanted a return to "normalicy" and in the end thats what they got. in all pragmatism, it is impossible to completely stay out of war, especially a world war at that. to blame wilson on our involvement in the war is completely one sided and a fallacy. it would have been inevitable to some degree, no matter the president residing in office at that time.

@IKIndaLoveScreamo Harding inherited the Depression of 1920 from Wilson which he cured with tax & budget cuts. As for the war,actually quite a few countries managed to stay out of war. In fact,the U.S. managed to avoid the slaughter for years 1 through 3 of the 4 year war. We could have avoided the whole bloody mess had this country not had the misfortune of being led by a President who embraced a pro-British/anti-German foreign policy. Wilson's misplaced idealism got us into the war.
sleedolfine15 9 months ago
@sleedolfine15 the reason we joined the war is because russia pulled out, therefore leaving a burden on the allies which they may not have be able to undertake. if russia had not pulled out, there more than likely would have never been a world war 1 for america. they did, however, and america got passed the hot potato, whether we liked it or not. wilson did what he had to do to make sure the central powers did not break allied defenses, which they were in fact on the brink of
IKIndaLoveScreamo 9 months ago
@IKIndaLoveScreamo We entered the war against a nation which did us no harm because (1) Wilson had a proBritish bias which caused him to look for opportunities to justify going to war against the Germans--in spite of his 1916 campaign pledge to " keep us out of war " and (2) Wilson was an idealist who wanted to see an end to war & dictatorship and he felt that only as part of the victorious side in the war could he have a role in dictating the new world order that would follow that war.
sleedolfine15 9 months ago
@sleedolfine15 a country that did us no harm? really? i mean...i guess if you dont count the zimmerman note...or the call for unrestricted submarine warfare...or the SINKING OF THE LUSITANIA and several american merchant ships?! if you completely avoid all that then sure, why not. and also, wilson knew that if germany and her allies got control of europe, there would be nothing stopping her from attacking america. he did what was in the best interest for america as a nation
IKIndaLoveScreamo 9 months ago
@IKIndaLoveScreamo Germany had every right to sink armed belligerent ships such as the Lusitania travelling in a war zone and if Americans were foolishly on such vessels whose fault was it? The Germans warned Americans to stay off of British vessels in war zones.Wison ignored it. The Royal Navy's blockade of German port was starving German civilians in violation of law and U-boat attacks were a legitimate reaction. You think the Kaiser was out to conquer the world? Give me a break.
sleedolfine15 9 months ago
@sleedolfine15 the lusitania was a cruise liner, far from a destroyer.and you fail to call into question the other motions at war that germany made towards america, such as flirting with mexico, knowing that they had a grude against america in regards to the poncho villa incidents going on more importantly, even if germany did not provoke america, as it did, wilson still had a legitimate reason to be in the war, to stop Germany, a near dictatorship, from taking over the greater part of europe
IKIndaLoveScreamo 9 months ago
@IKIndaLoveScreamo Sec. of State Bryan revealed to Wilson that the Lusitania had 5,000 cases of ammunition on board,making the ship a legitimate war target.(which would also explain why the vessel sank so quickly). Zimmerman in his note proposed a military alliance between Germany & Mexico,but only because of Germany's perfectly reasonable fear that the U.S. was on the verge of abandoning neutrality. WW1 was one of many european world wars. Why fear that this war was a threat to U.S. security?
sleedolfine15 9 months ago
@sleedolfine15 even with the that, did germany know that the lusitania had ammunition on board? or did they fire blind? and the fear was that this was one of the few times that a single power was about to control Europe, especially a communist one. the spread of communism is a threat to democracy everywhere, this was one of the few ones where we took preventative measures to stop a threat such as Germany
IKIndaLoveScreamo 9 months ago
@IKIndaLoveScreamo Germany was not a communist country during World War One. Germany's political system was a monarchy and it's economic system was probably a mixed economy. The first communist country--Russia,was still in the middle of it's revolution during World War One and would not become communist until WW1 was nearly over so there was no realistic threat of the spread of communism. I think you may have misspoke there. Also,a hundred years before Napoleon was a greater threat to Europe.

I don't believe it was much of a buildup, and no American lost his life when Ike was in office; JFK increased the buildup, recognized the error of our involvement there and was making plans to extricate us but couldn't complete his task because he was killed. LBJ of course gave the warmongers everything they wanted, and was disastrous for the nation, almost as bad as Wilson but I give him higher marks because of Civil Rights.

This is true, but it began somewhere, and who's to say what Nixon would have done (Ike 3) if he'd not been robbed by LBJ and Mayor Daley/Mafia in 1960. It's a matter of debate if JFK would have indeed pulled out of Vietnam. At the time, there were 16,000 "advisors", or as Malcolm put it, wryly, "16,000 fronline 'advisors'".

"[No] American lost his life when Ike was in office." According to your logic, NO Americans died FOR WHATEVER REASON during Eisenhower's eight years as president. Will you retract this absurdly inaccurate statement? AND will you sharpen your thinking sufficiently so you will not make such indefensible statements again?

LOL! What I meant to say was that "No American died in a massive foreign entanglement when Ike was in office." Ignoring all my and many others' comments about this appalling Wilson, you seize upon the ONE error in my use of language; you must be a very difficult person to be around. Howare you liking the expansion of annother useless war in Afghanistan under the present spiritual grandchild of Woodrow Wilson? This is Wilson's legacy: perpetual meddling, because we must "save the world."

Hey, I'm easy to be around, especially at happy hour:). And I've commented about Wilson on this thread. I actually agree with your final comment. Forgive me, please, for coming down on you so hard. I'm one of those anal-retentive English majors:) --

In 1917, Wilson talked Congress into WW I. Otherwise, we shouldn't have suffered some 9,400 fatal casualties. How was Roosevelt in 1912 all that different from Wilson, if at all? Like Wilson, TR supported a powerful central government, confiscatory taxes and redistribution of wealth. So I'm baffled by those who attempt to cast Teddy as a conservative or neo-conservative. His only policy in that regard was an aggressive approach to international relations --

Thanks for helping spread the word that Teddy Roosevelt was just another imperialist statist. I think all the presidents on Mount Rushmore, excepting the great George Washington, should be removed and replaced by Calvin Coolidge, Grover Cleveland, and either Andrew Jackson or John Tyler.
billyguns2 2 years ago
Coolidge was the Reagan of his day, his policies led to the Great Depression.
Cleveland's tariffs and general ignorance led to the Spanish-American War.
Jackson was a killer.
Tyler was never meant to be President at all.

Herbert Hoover's meddling, continued by FDR, prolonged the Greeat Ddpression by years; Harding had a Dperession too thanks to Woodrow WIlson, but it didn't last long because he didn't intervene. Cleveland never amde a move without consultign the Constitution. Jackson saved us from the National Central Bank ( The Federal Reserve) for a period of eighty years, and didn't kill as many people as LBJ, Nixon and Bush; Tyler defied the Whigs and was his own man.
billyguns2 2 years ago
Coolidge's isolationist policy, failure to take responsibilities for his actions, and unrestrained capitalist attitude led to the Great Depression. Stock Market Crash could be seen coming from miles away.
Cleveland split his party in two and basically saw the 15th Amendment to be unconstitutional. Relatively speaking, Cleveland was the Jimmy Carter of his day.
Firstworldleader 2 years ago
Jackson's stroke of luck of paying off the U.S. debt didn't save us from anything. The man was still a cold-blooded murderer and that doesn't excuse his political career.
Nixon and Bush were veterans of a war and who did LBJ ever kill? Unless you're talking about presiding over wars then I know you're just talking out of your ass.
Firstworldleader 2 years ago
LBJ, Nixon and George W Bush presided over completely unnecessary wars and got millions of innocent people killed under false pretenses. I see you ddin't deny my assumption that you believe in a monolithic, centralized, all-powerful state. THANK GOD Coolidge was an "isolatiionist." Harding and Coolidge gave us eight years of peace and prosperity after eight years of a madman racist in the White House.
billyguns2 2 years ago
Completely unnecessary? No war is completely unnecessary otherwise no wars would be fought at all. I'm not gonna deny that Vietnam and Iraq was a horrible mistake just like I'm not gonna deny that Wilson was a racist, but in taking down Saddam Hussein the Arab world and all outside of it was done justice.
Firstworldleader 2 years ago
Why didn't we take down ALL tyrannical, evil leaders int eh world then? Should the USA be the World's policeman? Do you acribe to the Woodrow Wilson belief that the USA has a god-given right to march into any country to "save it?"
billyguns2 2 years ago
"Completely unnecessary" to MY way of thinking; of course, to the military industrialists, land grabbers, and resources thieves ALL wars are necessary. The only war in our history that can be justified is WW II. WW I was the desire of thr rich to be ricjer and even Winston Churchll said that the US had no business or interest in getting involved in it.
billyguns2 2 years ago
@billyguns2 You are rigth about WW I but not about WW II. Let me correct you. I hope you don´t believe the official story about PEARL HARBOUR!
Well, in those days(1941) the deceiver Franklin Roosevelt, military industrialists and bankers elite needed a strong reason to enter WW II beacause american people where against that war. So guess what?...FR stopped economical US-Japan relationship and also oil distressed Japan. Everyone knows that a country can not function without oil.(continue below)
MrAntineutrino 2 years ago
@billyguns2 Guess the reaction of Japan after these US actions?? That is how you get a Pearl Harbour! And let me add something cruel. FR knew about this atack many days before that horrible 7th december of 1941 and he did not do anything to avoid the killing of more than 2.000 american soldiers that morning!! This is another betrayal of an US President to his own country. It is a 911 of that days. The terror acts used by goverments to acomplish the finantial elite agenda are very old...

The man was an international criminal and dictator. Without the Vietnam war Nixon probably would've never become President and we might as easily be at war with China right now. You arguing against all wars is unrealistic and nearly asinine.
Firstworldleader 2 years ago
Sigh. Why is it that so many YouTube commentators feel it necessary to hurl personal insults rather than have civilized discourse? This is indicative of what our current rude media screaming has wrought! Humphrey would have probably been a far better president than Nixon, who prolonged the VietNam debacle, a lost cause, and caused irreparable harm to our nation because of Watergate: we are now NOT nation of laws., and higher ups can be pardoned.

Sorry for the many typos in my last response; typing too fast! I can see from your comments that you are a believer in the New World Order, big, centralized government exerting maximum control over the people; I am not.
billyguns2 2 years ago
No. I'm moderate. Ultra-liberals are just as bad as Ultra-conservatives in my opinion.
Firstworldleader 2 years ago
I choose not to label myself, being a free thinker. My criteria for a good president is one who presided over peace, prosperity, and cherished liberty, the Republic,and the U.S. Constitution. Social liberalism, fiscal restraint and responsibility, and protection of civil liberties go a long way with me; that is why I esteem Harding, Coolidge, Tyler, Cleveland, Washington, Eisenhower, and very few others.
billyguns2 2 years ago
You do realize Woodrow Wilson was voted the 9th greatest presiden of all time while Harding was 38 and Coolidge 26. He was a rascist but who gives a fuck if he sees the nation through a world war and lays down the basis for the league of nations. The federal reserve act was a mistake wilson severely regretted, however the depression still could have been prevented by Harding and Coolidge.
ele90 2 years ago
I don't care what number he was voted; I rely on my OWN judgment and critical thinking, preferiing not to be one of the sheep or a parrot. World War I was totally unnecessary and cost us many of our finest young men; Winston Churchill said our involvement was not needed. Wilson caused the depression which was over very quickly under President Harding's leadership. Hoover and Rosevelt's depression lasted for nearly fifteen years!
billyguns2 2 years ago
@billyguns2 you rely on your own judgment huh? I am surprised you can tie your shoes if that is the case. Coolidge caused the depression, Hoover took the blame and Roosevelt ended it.

@Chazranman Please read THE POLICIALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO THE GREAT DEPRESSION AND THE NEW DEAL by Robert Murphy and LIES MY TEACHER TAUGHT ME by Loewen and don't believe everything you're taught in school. Woodrow Wislon's creation of the Federal Reserve caused the Depression; if Hoover had left things alone the crash would have been over quickly. Roosevelt continued Hoover's meddling which prolonged the Depression. These are the facts.

@LordIncompetent Your response to my comment makes no sense, and is not even a complete sentence; you certainly live up to your YouTuibe name. I'm always happy to have an intelligent discussion should you so desire.
billyguns2 1 year ago
@billyguns2 I'm not here to discuss anything in the hopes of convincing you that your sources are no more valid or credible than the mainstream perspective you so vehemently oppose -- after all, we both know that doing so would only be a pointless waste of time, since it would mean quarreling with someone who relies solely on his "own judgement" and material written by others who share his views exactly in order to draw conclusions and brand them "facts".
So, I'll just leave it at that.
LordIncompetent 1 year ago
@LordIncompetent Please tell me from what sources you draw your facts and conclusions; do you have a pipeline to a superior source? I read both sides and would never just read what backs up my opinion. Contrary to your judgmental guessing about what type of person I am, I have an open mind and am willing to learn; anyone who knows me could tell you that, but you seem to simplistically live in your own little smug and self satisfied world of snap judgments.
