Wilson also threw Eugene Debs in jail and launched the Palmer Raids.

Hitler did the same right up to invading Poland and virtually everyone else. Progressives are all the same.

Of Cousre, but Hitler didn't have to worry about Elections.

Wilson waited until after he was elected a second time (which he could have still run for a third term, but that was still unbroken).

And then SHAZAM! The Drums of War reached here, to remake American nearer to the hearts diser, it just took what Hundreds of Thousands of American Dead to get what Wilson wanted, the League of Nations

Of Course the Country went Hard Right in 1920, feeling betrayed and wanted normalcy and told the League of nations to get bent

Why Liberals Kill

...their heroes—from FDR to JFK—promoted U.S. involvement in more wars than all modern GOP presidents combined.

"Heaven forbid they find someone 25 years older to play the role."

He did a decent job playing J.Edgar Hoover. And his portrayal of Howard Hughes was pretty good as well.

You know, just the other day I was saying I wish someone would make a movie about Woodrow Wilson.

At least they got a left-wing extremist to play a left-wing extremist.

Certainly a better actor than Ben Afleck or Matt Damon.

I absolutely agree.

Funny how all the sudden (meaning since Obama was elected) Hollywood is interested in doing movies about presidents. Suddenly they love the very idea of the presidency, and they want the rest of us to love it too. In the first four years they did hagiographies of Lincoln and Roosevelt, and now Wilson. I guess we can expect a Kennedy movie next.

The wannabe courtiers who constitute the media would prefer a stable Empire with an Augustus to a volatile Republic, subject to sudden change of management and personnel.

Sycophants, flatterers and toadies require charismatic leadership to justify their dog-like behavior. Of course, mere mortals such as you and me cannot understand the transcendent tingle these mediots get up their legs and other body parts.

Bring out the pikes!

I guess I’m the only one who thinks he is of mediocre talent.

Baz Luhrmann movies are always weird. I don’t care for them.

I do think Mr. DiCaprio is an excellent actor. I couldn’t stand him in the 90s, but I changed my mind after I saw Catch Me If You Can.

I disagree. I really think DiCaprio is an excellent actor even though he’s a wackjob environmentalist.
