How do you explain 1) preachers starting the Civil War from their pulpits 2) Prohibition 3) the 21 year old drinking age 4) Manifest Destiny in Mexico, the Philippines, Iraq 5) Billy Graham's love of political power 6) the popularity of George W. Bush and the Clintons?

Why was Woodrow Wilson first anti-war and then pro-war and then fanatically pacifist from 1916-1920?

If you don't take charge, someone else WILL.
Islamic terrorists would like to be in charge NOW.
Would that satisfy you?
It isn't fanatical to want to control and protect your family and your society.
Trying to force your ideals on others IS.
You noted such instances already. They are minor compared to what our nation now faces from TRUE fanatics that would use their own children as bombs to kill Innocent women and children.
Your question is a good one but I'd like to add perspective. Fanaticism is WRONG regardless of the source, just like the tyranny is wrong regardless of the political ideals behind it.
Thank GOD our founding fathers gave us the freedom so few are willing to understand and defend.

They're not in general. You must be more specific or we do not know what you are talking about. I'll try and explain, 1: Slavery was/is wrong 2: Was/ is still a problem 3: see#2 4: Self protection 5: He loves all people 6:people have good and bad opinions about everything. Peace
