Nixon comes across as a wise if not brilliant man here.

Interesting video for the “younger” ones to see!

They will have to see it under adult supervision. President Nixon has been villified by the dimrats to the point that he is their boogieman.

Their hatred of him started the meme that all Republican presidents are felons or nincompoops.

Very safe, and also Nixon looked pretty healthy for 20 years after resigning

Still hear leftist lament the two landslide Nixon victories.

My favorite is “journalist “ of the time making statements like, how did he win no one I know voted for him….

So things have not changed, the idea that biased “reporting” is a new thing is false, just more exposed.

I have always liked aspects of Richard Nixon. I read a few of his books he wrote after his presidency.

Like many, I took extreme issue with his implementation of price controls, and the EPA, but back then, I didn’t know enough about those things to understand how destructive they were.

I will always cut Nixon slack based on two things: his part in bringing down Alger Hiss, and the bombing of Hanoi and the mining of Haiphong harbor in December 1972.

Plus, he made me realize what tools the US Media are. Fully on the side of the Left.

Wowie. Too bad we don’t have leaders like him anymore that can at least articulate what’s at stake. All they do is lie to us now. It looks like the new despotism has already taken root in Russia. How we going to sell freedom to Russia and China when we can’t even run a fair election effectively? We have our own freedoms to worry about that are being threatened.
