Nixon was taken down by the CIA just like JFK. I’m shocked that this isn’t commonly known.
I’m not a fan of Ramaswamy, but, Richard Nixon brought us home from Viet Nam after Kennedy and Johnson sent thousands to their death.
“I’d also give the boy wonder credit for touting the Monroe Doctrine...”
The funny thing is most folks never finished reading the Doctrine. It also states we should mind our own business elsewhere.
But that’s not convenient.
Nixon did more to advance Leftist causes than anyone before or after him, so I disagree with Vivek on this one.
Nixon, like McCarthy, is not allowed to be loved.
This crappy world is not the one I expected after the Berlin Wall came down. The Bible says we are fallen, and we make it evident every day.
I don’t trust RamaswamPy.
So what. I like Nixon for the most part. Personally, I don’t love any politician, but I don’t care if others love politicians. What’s with all the Nikki articles with her attacking Ramaswamy. Seems a bit racist and sexist. I guess it’s interesting to some when a Indian woman attacks an Indian man. Nikki’s political career is dead. There’s nothing interesting about her. Just another feckless woman. Yes, I am sexist and 100% against feminism of all sorts. But I love women, they just need to act like women.
Nixon was an anti-communist in the 50’s. That’s why they hated him and set out to destroy him.
It looks like ChicagoConservative27 has found all the leftist hit pieces for the day. If we look at Nixon through the prism of what we know about the media today, he was not a crook, but he was a patsy for a determined ruling bureaucracy and uniparty that has not even changed many players since his departure. Death seems to be the only party they haven’t overcome.
Nixon ended the Viet Nam war, and opened diplomatic relations with China.
That was fine until Clinton opened economic relations - within 10 years American manufacturing was on its death bed.
Democrats needed to destroy Nixon.
Years ago in a TV interview, I heard Arnold Schwarzenegger saying the same thing. When he came to the U.S., he heard Nixon on television and liked what he was hearing. He found himself agreeing with a lot of what he said, and that’s how he became (nominally) a Republican.
The MSM and DC narrative describe Nixon as cynical and Machiavellian, but Nixon was quite the opposite - the man was actually extremely naive and gentle to the ways of Washington and national politics, and had blind faith in Washington to manage large progressive institutions properly and fairly.
As time has passed, I have had second thoughts about Nixon.
He was not the 17 horned monster the libs and the hippies and the Helen Reddy types reported him to be. Several music careers were built upon that rhetoric. I didn’t see most of it as being nothing more than rhetoric or biased propaganda at the time. Nixon was mostly good for the economy.
Even Nixon didn’t love Nixon.
so does Alice Cooper
Demeaning.
Vivek linking himself to Nixon foreign policy is not America First which means something different in 2023 than it did in 1940. Nixon also started us down the path of normalization with China.
