Nixon is an absolute hero from that era. So are Roy Cohn and Joe MC Carthy. They understood the marxist threat.
Lefties/Dems still HATE and vilify Mr. Nixon! And Conservatives did NOT see "WATERGATE AS A BRIGHT SPOT" at all!
Were you even alive in 1973?
Yes they were and still are!
The most important Political book I have ever read is Treason by Ann Coulter. It has formed my Political opinions ever since. The quotes from the highly respected Conservative M Stanto Evans are in that book.
With that book, I crashed EVERY Liberal lie that my parents had ever told me.

March 27, 1972
To the President and Congress of the United States:
I have the honor to transmit for your consideration the Final Report, containing the findings and recommendations, of the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future, pursuant to Sec. 8, PL 91-213.
After two years of concentrated effort, we have concluded that, in the long run, no substantial benefits will result from further growth of the Nation’s population, rather that the gradual stabilization of our population through voluntary means would contribute significantly to the Nation’s ability to solve its problems. We have looked for, and have not found, any convincing economic argument for continued population growth. The health of our country does not depend on it, nor does the vitality of business nor the welfare of the average person.
The recommendations offered by this Commission are directed towards increasing public knowledge of the causes and consequences of population change, facilitating and guiding the processes of population movement, maximizing information about human reproduction and its consequences for the family, and enabling individuals to avoid unwanted fertility.
To these ends we offer this report in the hope that our findings and recommendations will stimulate serious consideration of an issue that is of great consequence to present and future generations.
Respectfully submitted for the Commission,
John D. Rockefeller 3rd
Chairman

Statement About the Report of the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future
May 05, 1972
THE Commission on Population Growth and the American Future has formally presented its report to me today, thus completing its 2 years of work.
The men and women on this panel have performed a valuable public service in identifying and examining a wide range of problems related to population, and have contributed to an emerging debate of great significance to the future of our Nation.
I wish to thank the able and energetic Chairman of the Commission, Mr. John D. Rockefeller 3d, for his tireless efforts, not only on this Commission but in other capacities, to focus the Nation’s attention on these important issues.
The extensive public discussion already generated by this report clearly indicates the need to continue research in areas touching on population growth and distribution.
While I do not plan to comment extensively on the contents and recommendations of the report, I do feel that it is important that the public know my views on some of the issues raised.
In particular, I want to reaffirm and reemphasize that I do not support unrestricted abortion policies. As I stated on April 3, 1971, when I revised abortion policies in military hospitals, I consider abortion an unacceptable form of population control. In my judgment, unrestricted abortion policies would demean human life. I also want to make it clear that I do not support the unrestricted distribution of family planning services and devices to minors. Such measures would do nothing to preserve and strengthen close family relationships.
I have a basic faith that the American people themselves will make sound judgments regarding family size and frequency of births, judgments that are conducive both to the public interest and to personal family goals–and I believe in the right of married couples to make these judgments for themselves.
While disagreeing with the general thrust of some of the Commission’s recommendations, I wish to extend my thanks to the members of the Commission for their work and for having assembled much valuable information.
The findings and conclusions of the Commission should be of great value in assisting governments at all levels to formulate policy. At the Federal level, through our recent reorganization of the Executive Office of the President, we have the means through the Domestic Council and the Office of Management and Budget to follow up on the Commission’s report. The recommendations of the Commission will be taken into account as we formulate our national growth and population research policies, and our agency budgets through these processes for the years ahead.
Many of the questions raised by the report cannot be answered purely on the basis of fact, but rather involve moral judgments about which reasonable men will disagree. I hope that the discussions ahead will be informed ones, so that we all will be better able to face these questions relating to population in full knowledge of the consequences of our decisions.
Twenty seven months after Nixon’s response he was encouraged out of office and succeeded by Gerald Ford.
One hundred twenty three days later the National Security Study Memorandum 200 otherwise recognized as the Kissinger Report was released, though not for public consumption; it was classified and shared only with those who had a need to know.
Seven days later Nelson Rockefeller assumed the role of Vice President.
Trashed
I just looked him up ( you misspelled his middle name! ), and his RIDICULOUSLY STUPID ideas re melding Conservative thought with LIBERTARIANISM is HORSE MANURE on steroids!
Yes, some of what I write is MY "opinion"; however, an educated one and also from someone who lived through those times and was EXTREMELY "aware", though I was a child during the early years of it all.
Of course you are welcome to "believe" garbage, should you want to; however, when you regurgitate it, it's STILL just "GARBAGE"!
I wanted Nixon’s scalp for unleashing the final stage of the fiat currency/easy credit usury system that is just creating long-term pain/debt/inflation, OSHA, EPA, Justices Blackmum, Burger, and Powell, wage controls spam using EOs off of the Economic Stabalization Act, Education Act of 1972...he was an awful President. He deserved what he got, in fact I hope he would of been convicted so he would be denied a pension.
You are drunk out of your mind ( i.e. "trashed? ), you convinced your parents to vote GOP, because YOU showed them the way by "trashing" DEMS, or something else? Never mind...I really don't care.
No, I trashed the Liberal nonsense I had been told my whole life and became Very Conservative. A Paleocon.
See, I agree,and zi would have voted for Schmidtz. And in 76, I would have written in Reagan.
The Powers That Be….
Sirica sentenced Liddy to 20 years for a first-time offense burglary where nothing was even stolen. But yeah, the media loved the s-o-b.
As though he thought anybody cared, I remember Sirica running around with Carter on his bus and trolley back in the 1980 election which Reagan won in a landslide by 489-49 electoral votes. “Maximum John” Sirica really made a difference for that failed boob, didn’t he?
I am still proud that my first ever vote was for President Nixon in 1972.
My first vote was Ford in 1976. So much sad history because of useless republicans & evil democrats.
