"he did have some pretty stupid ideas about domestic policy, like wage-price controls, the EPA and affirmative action. His saving grace was he was a fierce anticommunist.

LOL. I know Nixon did some odd things in his later years, but I still say the guy who nailed Alger Hiss deserves a place at the conservative table.

It's interesting that the left fixated on Nixon from Ike's second term until they finally bagged him. Meanwhile, under the radar, Bill Buckley and other pioneers started a movement in the 1950's and then the Goldwater and Reagan conservatives went to work in the 1960's and 1970's. The lefties thought they'd won the game when they beat Goldwater and ran Nixon out of office. They laughed up to the week of the election in 1980. Then they suddenly stopped laughing.
