what did this have to do with woodrow wilson? he did not leave a good record that was coherent of his thinking he had series of strokes since he was a young man and finally was not able to finish his philosophy of politics. which he wanted to do after he left the white house. he started it, something like 20 pages were written. at any rate, what tried to do was to re-establish what wilson might have said had wilson been able to put together the pieces of the puzzle as the puzzle lay before him in 1918-1919, the answer is to look at his analysis of germany. germany, for him, was a malignant country. and it was malignant for a combination of reasons. it authoritarian. it was militaristic. it whereas imperialist, it was protectionist, and as a result of all that's things it thought in balance of power terms. when you put all this together, you have what he called the perfect flower of war. now, the important thing to keep in mind here is that not all authoritarian governments are necessarily, for wilson, malignant. germany, however,

in the middle, woodrow wilson the democratic nominee. incumbent president william howard taft running for the republican party. eve of cartoon, on the the election, you see all of the candidates public persona, how they are behaving very confidently, jovial, laughing, and then you see inside, how they must be nervous and anxious. race, the republicans were split and woodrow wilson went on to win. so, the second cartoon deals with presidential primaries. if a partyimagine, goes through a bitter primary, they have a hard time getting people to coalesce behind their eventual nominee, and this is what happens in 1924 with the democrats. you see them off the fairway in , bitter contest bunker fighting each other, while , the nearbydge iephant, is saying well, breezed through the primary links and was never once off the fairway. he who -- coolidge easily won that election. and then some elections toward the end of his career, the last election he drew was 1948. taft from ohio. he is looking at the electoral planning his schedule, because as yo

talking to woodrow wilson is like talking to jesus christ. many other criticisms have come wilson's way. he's been called a hypocrite for immediately abandoning his promise. in the first of the 14 points, calling for open covenants of peace, openly arrived at by agreeing to secret closed door nations at the versailles peace conference. he's been accused of harboring a messiah complex after he was greeted in paris with newspaper headlines labeling him, quote, the savior of humanity, and more recently historians and activists have rightly focused on wilson's racism as an essential rather than a relevant part of his presidency. however, by far the most condemning insult flung his way is not to call him a racist but to call him an idealist. the 14 points, which is our subject today, wilson's blueprint for the post-war world, offers much evidence for putting wilson in this idealistic camp. dreaming an impossible dream. in this document wilson called for freedom of the seas, free trade, disarmament, quote, free open-mind and absolutely impartial ad

then moving on top woodrow wilson, woodrow wilson, the 28th president of the united states and the item that we have for woodrow wilson is a picnic set. and what's interesting about this is this is one of the picnic sets that he used when he was courting his second wife. his first wife had died during his first term and he was introduced to this woman actually less than a year after his wife had died. and they fell in love. they would go on drives. they would take a picnic set like this out and go out to picnic at a park in the washington, d.c. area or drive. he also had a second set which is only for tea so they could do whatever they wanted to do that way. this continued up into the presidency, as well. and here we are with warren g. harding. warren g. harding, what we have for him is some golf clubs and a goff ball. warren g. harding was an avid golfer, introduced to golfing at age 51 when he was in the senate. he was -- had a 22 handicap. and considered golfing under 100 to be a personal victory. he golfed as often as his schedule would allow him to golf. and spent a lot of time gol

unlike woodrow wilson, george washington really did keep us out of war. at considerable costs to his short-term popularity and peace of mind. but of course he supplied positive leadership as well, in crushing the whiskey rebellion of 1794, a violent anti-tax protest by pennsylvania farmers, the president put all of his accumulated prestige behind the principle that in a republic, dissatisfied minorities can protest peacefully but they cannot take arms against even the most unpopular official acts. finally, in his famous and often misunderstood farewell address, washington left behind a timeless warning about the excesses of political parties, one which rings especially true in this age of dark money, spin doctors and focus groups. listen to washington's words. the alternate domestic nation of one faction over another sharpened by the spirit of revenge is itself a frightf fuf despotism, and opens the door to corruption which finds a facilitated access through the channels of party passions. thus the policy and the will of one country subjected to the polic
