Nixon Library eh. Wish we could have been there. Last time we were at that Library they were undergoing major refurbishment. The place was a mess, but that was a number of years ago...like eight, or ten years.

We came away from our visit wanting “Just Joey” roses. We found them, and the ranch is loaded with them now. Wondering if they still have them in the Rose Gardens there. Beautiful roses. We had quite a show of them this year here at the ranch.

SE Cupp is co-host this year. She is awesome, a rising star who seems to appear everywhere important.

S.E. Cupp will Co-Host Troopathon with Melanie Morgan and Roger Hedgecock!

Move America Forward | June 17, 2011 

Exciting news today, as MAF is confirming that conservative commentator, author and rising star S.E. Cupp has signed up to co-host Move America Forward’s 4th Annual Troopathon!

As a political commentator, she’s been on FOX News, CNN, C-SPAN, and even MSNBC (bleh).

She’s a regular guest appearing on TV with people like Sean Hannity, Greg Gutfeld and Glenn Beck.

She’s joined radio hosts like Dennis Miller, Curtis Sliwa, Mancow, and many more.

She hosts The S.E. Cupp show exclusively on Glenn Beck TV.

An accomplished author, S.E. has written two books. Her first book “Why You’re Wrong About the Right” came out in 2008 and attacked many cultural misconceptions about conservatives. Last year she released her second book “Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media’s Attack on Christianity.” She has also written columns and articles on such respected publications as Townhall magazine, Politico, Washington Post, Newsmax, Human Events, American Spectator, and others.

Of course, as with all Troopathon guests, S.E. Cupp is an ardent supporter of our troops. She supported Vets for Freedom and Alaska’s Healing Hearts, where she brought wounded US military veterans out on exotic once-in-a-lifetime hunting and fishing expeditions in Alaska’s most beautiful and remote places, taking our brave troops after the most elusive, trophy game.

We’re happy to have S.E. Cupp joining us on Troopathon this year along with Melanie Morgan, Roger Hedgecock and Andrew Breitbart who she will be co-hosting with!

Troopathon is a wonderful event with an even more important mission – supporting our troops, and sending the tangible evidence of that support – care packages sent to our brave troops on the front lines. Send a care package to our troops now!

Well I'll tell you what Leo W

Get in touch with them and promote them.

Here on Free Republic and all over the www.

There are a lot of great groups out there that support the Troops, many of them just need a dedicated person like you to get them some recognition

I will tell you this though.

The Troops love getting packages from all of these groups.

That is the most important acknowledgment IMO.

Nixon Library eh. Wish we could have been there. Last time we were at that Library they were undergoing major refurbishment. The place was a mess, but that was a number of years ago...

That was probably when the new wing featuring the East Room was being added.

However, sad times have befallen the Nixon Library. The private Nixon Foundation, which ran the library until 2007 foolishly decided that year to make the library a part of the Presidential Library system administered by the National Archives. They did this to get President Nixon's presidential papers which, by law, are held by the National Archivesand Records Administration (NARA).

However, this move proved to be a Faustian bargain. When the government took over, a new director was installed who turned out to be a Nixon-hating leftist who is doing all he can to trash President Nixon's legacy. Nonetheless, the Nixon Foundation still maintains its headquarters in the building and administers part of the facility, including the president's birthplace, while NARA maintains the galleries and the archives. The Foundation continues to sponsor programs at the library, including the Troopathon.

Both NARA and the Nixon Foundation maintain offices under the galleries. The two sides are as different as East and West Berlin. Nixon pictures and signs greet visitors to the Foundation side, while a portrait of President Obama welcomes visitors to the NARA offices. Except for perfunctory greetings and shop talk, NARA and Foundation personnel rarely socialize or converse with one another.

Thanks for that. Interesting. I’d read about the “mistake”, and it’s interesting to read about the results.

Wondering if the gardens are still maintained. They were a reason to return, and time and again return of which my wife and I have stated multiple times we will, but haven’t yet.

We go past Yorba Linda several times a year as we travel from our home in Riverside to Harbor City to have any of our 3 SAAB cars serviced at S.C.C.. We like to stop, shop, or visit say the Nixon Library on the return part of the trip. Makes for a nice day trip.
