On this day in 1974, Richard Milhous Nixon addressed the nation on television, and announced that, the following day at noon, he would resign the presidency.

I think that resignation was one heck of a missed opportunity, more destructive to the nation than anyone realized at the time. I address the issue in my Illinois Review column today, if you're interested, here:

The MSM was gunning for him since the Alger Hiss trial.

A Fall From Grace, and a Missed Opportunity

[Standing Wolf]

In relation to the current occupant of the White House, Nixon was a choir boy who told a stupid, trivial fib or two.

Watergate was no more than political infighting, and the only people affected were people who volunteered to join the government power game - Obama’s NSA and IRS scandals are assaults on the American people, who made the mistake of actually believing their government would abide by the Constitution and preserve their civil rights - eventually history will confront the difference......

look I basically believe that Nixon was done in by leftists who do the very same stuff and worse. I hate and despise socialism and communism
