Pages 215-216.<br /><br />It was exactly Wilson's broad, open and elevated mind combined with his naivete that made him such an ass...which to this day he remains. Yes, Woodrow Wilson was a "progressive" ass and he took the world who shamelessly adhered to him down a road which shouldn't have been "less traveled."&nbsp; That road should not have been traveled at all.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6283138899269451689-869965433675694634?l=f89jclass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Fruita 8/9 Journalismnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283138899269451689.post-72606244713811564142011-06-16T21:12:00.001-06:002011-06-20T12:51:35.371-06:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;">D Day plus 67 years and 10 days ...</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Eleven Latin American countries are joining in legal action against the sovereign state of Georgia's immigration law...</strong>in the words of the inimitable Colonel Sherman T.
