Woodrow Wilson Quote

"All over the Union, people are coming to feel that they have no control over the course of affairs... ‘We vote; we are offered the platform we want; we elect the men who stand on that platform; and we get absolutely nothing.’ So they begin to ask: ‘What is the use of voting? We know that the machines of both parties are subsidized by the same persons, and therefore it is useless to turn in either direction.’ "

As big a hypocrite as Lincoln here: "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right – a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people, that can, may revolutionize, and make their own of so much of the territory as they inhabit." Abraham Lincoln, in an 1848 speech before the US Congress  -- Mike, New Mexico
Wilson has not been totally correct recently.  Obama vowed to fundamentally change our country and did everything he could to ruin it.  Trump vowed to put America first and has tried hard to do that against opposition from the media and both parties.  On the other hand, members of Congress in both parties promise to represent us and then sell their influence to the highest bidder once elected.  -- Durham, Birmingham, AL      2
