Pat Nixon, a fine American lady.

Bravo! Thank you for posting. Pat Nixon was beautiful, and she was a wonderful First Lady. Nothing was ever handed to her, and it is so true that she worked her entire life. There were no luxuries and no handouts in her early life.

The Nixon library is wonderful. We spent an entire day there recently. I bought a mug that says, “What would Nixon do?” That is how I feel about him. He would have had a solution for everything...well thought out and intelligent in his reasoning.

Ben Stein articulates how I have personally always felt about President and Mrs. Nixon. President Nixon was skewered by the left for their own purposes, and this country lost one of its greatest geniuses because of it. He endured and continued his service to our country in many ways. He was truly America's greatest advocate; his wisdom and guidance served to make this country, and the world, a better place.

Thank you, Ben Stein for your reminder of this.

Pat Nixon’s former home “was” about 1/2 mile down the street from me. On South street in the City of Cerritos. I say “was” because one night some arsonists (rats?) burned the home to the ground. A senior center is now located on the property.

Thank you for posting this.

I love and respect Ben Stein, so in spite of what I thought was going to be a silly article, I read it to the end.

Then I realized how brainwashed I had been by the left leaning media that has dominated the airways for over half a century. (Even though I have been a conservative since 1980).

I gained new insight about Richard and Pat Nixon from this article, and feel the need to repent of some of my presuppositions.

President Nixon loved Pat more than anything else in this world, just as President Reagan loved Nancy. Watch the first 30 seconds of this video.

Big fat historical inaccuracy in this article. Pat Nixon’s name wasn’t Patricia. Her birth name was Thelma; she was renamed or nicknamed “Pat” because of her birthday, the day before St. Patrick’s Day.

All guys named Bob or Mike aren’t Robert or Michael, and magazine writers should get this sort of detail right.
