Woodrow Wilson Was Our Worst President

James Ostrowski reports:

Woodrow Wilson was our worst president. He did many of the things that Lincoln did to destroy life, liberty and property but did them on a grander scale, with less excuse and with more lasting consequences. It is true that Lincoln laid the groundwork for the modern monstrosity we suffer under now, however, it is also true that federal spending sharply declined after his war and remained modest until the Wilson administration. It was Wilson, not Lincoln, who birthed the permanent federal leviathan of today.

Lincoln’s war was brutal and savage and its damage is still felt today, however, at least his apologists have resort to the post hoc rationalization that he was “freeing the slaves.” In pushing the United States into the war that would ruin a human century, Wilson was instead freeing the British and French Empires. Enormous egos typify the leaders of progressivism: TR, FDR, LBJ. None of them, however, recklessly plunged our nation into a world war in the absence of a direct attack, believing that the resulting chaos would somehow reshape the world for the better. Don’t let his utter lack of charisma fool you. Wilson’s ego was as big as any of theirs.

You'll want to read the entire article. The Princeton students must be praised for taking on a very bad President.
