The Brutally Unjust Woodrow Wilson

 Woodrow Wilson was not a "Just guy." There was nothing remotely just about him.

For starters, Wilson was a proto-totalitarian and, as such, was the father of the overweening, all-encompassing American administrative state.

In his first significant academic work, the rightly famous "The Study of Administration", Wilson spelled out the primary tenets of American government as he saw them going forward.

As a "Man of God," Wilson insisted that what he was doing-the way he treated the "Inferior" race-was a kindness he was doing for them.

In keeping with his racism, Woodrow Wilson was an ardent supporter of eugenics.

As the governor of New Jersey, Wilson signed one of the nation's first and most draconian state eugenics laws, a law that was drafted by none other than Dr. Katzen-Ellenbogen, who would later turn against his fellow Jewish prisoners and become a notorious killer-doctor in Hitler's Buchenwald death camp.

The following year, Congress passed and the Wilson administration again abused the Sedition Act and the Alien Act, arresting and fining all those who opposed the president and his goals in any public way.

Editor's Commentary:

Woodrow Wilson through his actions and policies, revealed a character so contrary to the very foundations of this great country.

Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, was a man with a deep-seated belief in his own intellectual superiority and a disturbing willingness to impose his progressive vision on America, regardless of the cost to our freedoms and our values. His presidency was marked by a relentless assault on the principles of liberty and justice that this nation holds dear.

Wilson's legacy is one of injustice and brutality, particularly towards those who dared oppose his agenda. He sought to silence dissent and consolidate power, a true threat to the very idea of American democracy. His administration targeted individuals and groups who disagreed with his policies, using the full force of the government to intimidate and punish them.

One of the darkest chapters of Wilson's presidency was his treatment of those who opposed America's entry into World War I. Through his infamous Espionage and Sedition Acts, Wilson criminalized free speech and turned dissent into a crime. Peaceful protestors, journalists, and political opponents were branded as traitors and spies, facing harsh penalties and even prison sentences for daring to speak out. It was a blatant attack on the First Amendment, a cornerstone of our Constitution, and a clear indication of Wilson's authoritarian tendencies.

But Wilson's injustice did not end there. His administration was also marked by rampant racism and segregation. Wilson oversaw the reversal of progress made during Reconstruction, implementing segregationist policies and removing African Americans from positions of influence within the government. He resegregated the federal workforce, sending a clear message that the equality and freedoms promised to all Americans did not extend to people of color.

Wilson's legacy is a stain on our history, a reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and the fragility of our freedoms. It serves as a warning to all Americans to remain vigilant in the defense of our liberties and to never again allow such a brutal injustice to occur on our watch.

Let us remember Woodrow Wilson not as a great leader, but as a cautionary tale. A tale that reminds us of the importance of upholding our values, protecting our freedoms, and standing against those who would use their power to trample on the rights of the American people. May we never forget the lessons of his presidency and may we always fight to ensure that the injustices of the Wilson era are never repeated.
