There are a lot of things about Nixon that are wrong but, to anyone who lived through his career, it is almost impossible to imagine him in any kind of sexual context, gay or straight. He was a man almost devoid of emotional context.
Nixon may not have been overtly sexual, but he was intensely emotional. Nixon was a fighter and I believe it was his destruction by the left that has cowed republicans into being wimps ever since.
Nixon fought the left as a threat to the country, an approach we desperately need today. I’m a George W supporter, but I’d like to kick him for every time he folded his hands and said the liberals were wonderful, “we just have an honest difference of opinion”.
I bet it was great being Pat.
