Some context on progressivism for the person who wrote in the Jan 8 edition: Woodrow Wilson was a racist who segregated the military and gave us prohibition. FDR loved Mussolini; his policies made the Depression worse. Johnson signed the Republicans' Civil Rights Act kicking and screaming, as like most liberals, he opposed it. Obama destroyed the greatest health system in world history and caused unneeded suffering. All this in the name of progress.
