[Taft in '52]

Now there are a few docents who have been approved to lead school tours if a vacancy needs filling on short notice. To be approved, they had to agree to an orientation. Many of the books they were required to study were “anti-Nixon.”

In other words, the National Archives functionaries who now run the Nixon Library are laying down a party line that docents now must toe in order to properly indoctrinate students. Your tax money is paying for this.

[hal ogen]

Just disgusting.

[Cacique]

It’s the way communism works. They will take over and infiltrate everything. The churches, the schools, the military etc.. They leave nothing untouched. And it’s all on purpose..

[GeronL]

I didn’t realize people still use the word “docents”.

[MarineBrat]

I wonder if they’ll let me volunteer at the Clinton library and massage parlor?

[historyrepeatz]

Now, why I ask you, would someone want to donate hours and hours to volunteer in a place they did not care about, or talk about a person they did not respect?

For the same reason Obama would appoint an I.C.E.-hater as head of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. It's a lefty tactic.. "If you can control it, you can destroy it." It can be done with entire countries too.. U.S.A. comes to mind.

I think that’s great. An example of why the zombie-esque sucking at the public teat long after death is a perversion.

Stop the enshrining of President’s as national gods. Like the President’s of more moral times (Presidency-wise) be an example. They returned to being regular citizens, not modern demi-gods of the colossus-state.

"Daniel Ellsberg (born April 7, 1931) is a former American military analyst employed by the RAND Corporation who precipitated a national political controversy in 1971 when he released the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret Pentagon study of government decision-making about the Vietnam War, to The New York Times and other newspapers."

"As a response to the leaks, the Nixon administration began a campaign against further leaks and against Ellsberg personally. Aides Egil Krogh and David Young under John Ehrlichman's supervision created the 'White House Plumbers,' which would later lead to the Watergate burglaries."

So what is Daniel Ellsberg up to these days? Well, for one thing, he is an endorser of the Revolutionary Communist Party's "World Can't Wait" movement...

Click on the 'World Can't Wait' link just below and see: "Endorsers of the Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime Include" You may recognize a few other names as well, including the democrat chair of the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers Jr. Conyers' name appears right after Ward Churchill's.

The RCP calls for the armed overthrow of the U.S. government...

From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :

"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.

And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

I enjoy my trips to the Nixon library and appreciate his work more and more. It’s sad that losers wish to destroy his bright insights on politics.

[gusopol3]

I suspect some of the interns running the “approved tours” are going to have some rough but educational days, as the folks touring the Nixon Library will be self-selected to have an above average regard for him.

[maine-iac7]

better keep an eye on the Reagan Library, the Lincoln Library - etc -

our school children will soon learn that jimmah was a most excellent pres - while ANY republican pres was awful...

[Theodore R.]

I went to the Nixon and Reagan libraries in 1998 and found the staff at the Nixon library much more accommodating.
