Progressive Democrat President Woodrow Wilson, and the Democrat controlled congress used 250,000 badge carrying civilians to enforce their brand of "change." I read a couple dozen stories about them last week. Definitely something purged from all school history books, wouldn't want the public to know what the Dem's did to Americans back then so that we might gage what they are capable of now. These civilians arrested and jailed, beat intimidated, all without warrants, without oversight, tens of thousands were imprisoned, amongst other things. Interesting, while the communists and the fascist were battling out in the streets of Europe. The communists and the fascist were battling it out in the rural Areas of America. The American Protective League being the fascists, the Bolsheviks seeking to take over newly formed labor unions. FDR was in was in the Wilson Admin during the ime of the League.

Wilson's American Protective League was very much like Mao's Red Guard. Even school children were encouraged to root out "traitors." Funny how the brains of leftists all seem to be hard-wired alike.
It was Woodrow Wilson who brought Jim Crow segregation to Washington. He imposed separate drinking fountains and restrooms for blacks and whites. He sent black civil servants to work in their own buildings, or put up partitions around them when that was not possible. Huh, he might have invented the work cubicle.
Wilson's racist views were hardly a secret. As president of Princeton, he had turned away black applicants, regarding their desire for education to be "unwarranted."
What Wilson's election meant to the South was "home rule;" that is, license to pursue its racial practices without interference from the federal government. Upon taking power in Washington, Wilson and the many other Southerners he brought into his cabinet were disturbed at the way the federal government went about its own business. One legacy of post-Civil War Republican ascendancy was that Washington's large black populace had access to federal jobs, and worked with whites in largely integrated circumstances. Wilson's cabinet put an end to that.
Wilson allowed various officials to segregate the toilets, cafeterias, and work areas of their departments. One justification involved health: White government workers had to be protected from contagious diseases, especially venereal diseases, that racists imagined were being spread by blacks. In extreme cases, federal officials built separate structures to house black workers. Most black diplomats were replaced by whites; numerous black federal officials in the South were removed from their posts; the local Washington police force and fire department stopped hiring blacks. Wilson's own view, as he expressed it to intimates, was that federal segregation was an act of kindness. In historian Lawrence J. Friedman's paraphrase, "Off by themselves with only a white supervisor, blacks would not be forced out of their jobs by energetic white employees."
According to Friedman, President Wilson said as much to those appalled blacks who protested his actions. He told one protesting black delegation that "segregation is not a humiliation but a benefit, and ought to be so regarded by you gentlemen." When black journalist William Monroe Trotter objected, Wilson banned him from the White House for the rest of his term. "Your manner offends me," Wilson told him. Blacks all over the country complained about Wilson, but the president was unmoved. "If the colored people made a mistake in voting for me," he told The New York Times in 1914, "they ought to correct it."
Wilson appears to have perceived his presidency as an opportunity to correct history, and to restore white Americans to unambiguous supremacy. That is apparently the reason he embraced the poisonous message of D.W. Griffith's 1915 film, The Birth of a Nation; it offered a congenial narrative.
Griffith's notorious film portrays the overthrow of debasing black rule in the Reconstructionist South by the rise of the Ku Klux Klan. The film's black characters (most of them white actors in blackface) are either servile or savages; Klan members are represented as both heroic and romantic. The movie was based primarily on The Clansman, a novel written by Thomas Dixon in 1905. Not only was Dixon a personal friend of Wilson's, he had been pushing for a Wilson presidency for years, and Wilson regarded himself as being in Dixon's debt.
Wilson payed him back by helping Dixon and Griffith publicize their movie. He arranged for preview screenings for his cabinet, for Congress, and for the Supreme Court, and he gave Dixon and Griffith an endorsement they could exploit. "It is like writing history with lightning," Wilson said of this KKK celebration, "and my only regret is that it is all so terribly true." The first half of Wilson's endorsement is still affixed to prints of the film that are screened for film students studying Griffith's advances in editing.
And then, along came Franklin Delano Roosevelt. No southerner he. FDR came from civilized, progressive New England. Things would get better, right? Nope.
From the time FDR took office in 1933, he absolutely refused to desegregate the government. The Republican platform of June 24, 1940 called for integration of the armed forces, but FDR refused to order it. FDR refused to even endorse a federal anti-lynch law, saying it would cause him to lose southern votes.
And, let's not forget how FDR threw 110,000 loyal Japanese-Americans into concentration camps, seized their properties and turned their property and possessions over to whites.
It would seem Roosevelt had preconceived (and racist) prejudices against the Japanese:
"Anyone who has traveled to the Far East knows that the mingling of Asiatic blood with European or American blood produces, in nine cases out of ten, the most unfortunate results. . . . The argument works both ways. I know a great many cultivated, highly educated and delightful Japanese. They have all told me that they would feel the same repugnance and objection to have thousands of Americans settle in Japan and intermarry with the Japanese as I would feel in having large numbers of Japanese coming over here and intermarry with the American population. In this question, then, of Japanese exclusion from the United States it is necessary only to advance the true reason--the undesirability of mixing the blood of the two peoples. . . . The Japanese people and the American people are both opposed to intermarriage of the two races--there can be no quarrel there." -- Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1925
And then, there was the appointment of former KKK lawyer, U.S. Senator Hugo Black, to the Supreme Court. Black was not qualified for the position, but FDR knew he would never oppose his socialist and unconstitutional New Deal policies. It was Black who suddenly discovered the concept of separation of church and state in the Constitution, a bogus "right" that still divides the country today.
AND, despite all the intelligence reports, FDR absolutely refused to talk about what the Nazis were doing to European Jews. He refused to change immigration laws to provide Jews a safe haven in the United States. No mystery there. Roosevelt was raised among the New England wealthy, where Jews were "restricted" -- not allowed to go to the night clubs and other social gatherings of the anti-Semitic elite.
Yeah, you Democrats sure can pick your role models.

God help us if he wants to return the APL days. - LoneRanger85, on 07/21/2008, -1/+2We have lots of examples around the world, including in our own old west, of how these groups end up. They become self-serving and then uncontrollable.
- notbysight, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1Stop patronizing, denegrating, and condescendingly insulting me Mr Obama, I am not a helpless victim and you are not my savior. I resent your smiling enthusiasm and wasted effort on "ensuring" my slice of the American Pie, let me just pursue my failures, my victories my failings and successes,-my way. I dont want to be billed for more "pursuit of happiness" schemes..or pay into for more "assured outcome" programs or wasted money for armies of youth trying to be helpful...its unnecessary ungodly and unconstitutional.
My father taught me to stand on my own two feet, be responsible for my actions..even if they hurt my feelings my self-esteem and my finances and socially set me back, just quietly and patiently endure, persevere and try again...he taught me to blame no one for my failures, he said life would be a struggle and that they are life lessons from God to make me a more humble and stronger man and family leader, he told me I dont need to keep up with the Joneses...he taught me to mind my own business and not push myself on others. He told me I will be given the opportunity to help others without pandering for attention and beaming with self-righteousness and not to feel guilty for poor people or go out of my way to meddle in their lives...they always make do, and most if them enjoy life on their own level just as we did on our lower middle class level, rich or poor..respect everyone the same way, treat my neighbor as I would want to be treated.....my father taught me to work hard for what i want, longer hours, 2 jobs and be thrifty, and don.t go looking for handouts because those handouts cost somebody somewhere, hard- earned money. He taught me to trust in the Lord and He will meet my daily needs....not necessarily my wants. He taught to respect the flag, respect the fallen, serve in the military, help Americas allies and hate Americas enemies, don't lie, don't cheat and don't steal and read, study and understand rightly Gods Word.
Mr Obama, you don't resemble my father. - LoneRanger85, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1I don't often digg comments, but that deserves one.
