"Within four months of his re-election, Wilson reversed course ... In a bizarre distortion of the nation's principles, Wilson argued that entry into the war was an unfulfilled mission of the Founding Fathers, that it was imperative for America not to hoard its freedom and liberty but to expand it throughout the globe." |

"It took archetypical neo-Puritan Woodrow Wilson not only to bring Prohibition to America, and thereby fulfill the PMEP's most cherished dreams, but also to take PMEP crusading on to a world scale. For after the Kingdom was established in America, the next holy step was to bring about a worldwide Kingdom." |

"... U.S. entry into World War I in 1917 resulted in Woodrow Wilson's grabbing powers that had been dormant since the Lincoln era. Not only did Wilson engineer the Espionage and Sedition Acts, ... he also used 'emergency' powers to seize the railroads and to generally place the U.S. economy under a semi-dictatorship." |

Excerpt from the "Messianic Democracy" chapter
"After Wilson took the nation into World War I 'to make the world safe for democracy,' he ... increasingly demonized all those who did not support the war and his crusade to shape the postwar world. ... The deaths of more than 100,000 Americans in World War I did nothing to bring Wilson's idealistic visions to Earth." |

"Woodrow Wilson won reelection in 1916 on a platform that bragged that he had kept the United States out of war and kept the nation prosperous. Five months after the election, the nation was in World War I. By the end of Wilson's second term, the nation was in the midst of a depression." |
