As an introvert trying to live in an extraverted world, I totally and completely relate.

Introvert Nixon was a choirboy compared to the narcissistic Marxist we’re stuck with now.

Nixon's resignation and the events leading up to it had always been the Liberals’ gold standard of indignation when assailing Conservatives in public office- Conservatives who seek public office.

‘What could more clearly illustrate the underhanded and unscrupulous character of Conservatism than the conduct of Richard Nixon? THAT is the apex of Conservative malfeasance and deceit’

Right! And since that time, the US has endured more than one Liberal President whose conduct makes the scope and magnitude of Nixon's transgressions seem like a prehistoric relic.

Nixon’s greatest crime was beating McGovern in a 49 state landslide. No one in the media voted for him so he had to be punished.

The funny thing is that by most objective standards Nixon was a liberal - wage and price controls, starting the EPA, “sharing” tax revenues with the states in exchange for more federal control, the list is endless. Even the misuse of the IRS and domestic spying he got from Kennedy and Johnson.

Nixon should be a liberal hero. Among other things, he started affirmative action, tried to push through a guaranteed annual income, started Project FIND, aimed at finding those who were eligible for welfare so they could be put on the dole, created the EPA and OSHA, appointed Justice Blackmun, who wrote Roe v. Wade...and on, and on. When one reads through conservative periodicals of the Nixon years, such as Human Events, it is clear that President Nixon gave conservatives little to cheer about.

But Nixon committed the unforgivable sin, in liberal eyes, of nailing Alger Hiss, so that is why they hound him to this very day.
