I'm not sure just how much RN "loved" this nation.

IMO, we make a very big mistake by comparing Nixon's actions to Obama's. By doing so, we diminish the real nature of what Obama is and has done.

Yes, Nixon was not one of us (Conservatives). That doesn't mean that he was making the mistakes he was making because he hated our nation. He wasn't trying to destroy the impact the United States was having on global dynamics. We know that Obama has been chummy with the terrorist organizations, actually willing to aide them in Libya. Nixon wasn't great, but the idea he was chummy with folks like Soros, or was willing to cover for terrorists inside our nation like Obama has, is unimaginable. To quote Obama, "Don't jump to conclusions." :^)

A lot of really bad legislation.

Okay, again, he wasn't one of us. That still doesn't mean he hated our nation. It doesn't mean that he was on a par with the likes of Obama. And conveying the idea he didn't love our nation, sort of lets Obama off the hook for not loving it. It says in effect that we've had other presidents that hated our nation. No we haven't. We've had dumb-s--ts that thought they could change this nation for the better, but they didn't truly want to destroy our nation. This guy does. He wants to destroy what it is today, and change it into a neutered Leftist Worker's paradise under an Islamic Republic devoted to enforcing Sharia Law.

He wants to put an end to the White Christian leanings and moral and legal codes of the West having an influence on global dynamics. He's an out and out traitor.

No matter what you think about Nixon, there's simply no grounds at all to consider him a traitor.

He upped the War against half the citizens aka WOD, and named uber dope head Elvis as a DEA agent.

Thinking we should legalize or not, I remain unconvinced half the nation is involved in illicit drug use. As for Elvis, I generally think of his DEA agent status as honerary and meaningless. I would never have done it.

He also opened the channels for selling US to China.

We were involved in the Cold War. Russia and the U. S. were at each other's throats. China was a closed society. Nixon made inroads in opening up China. So yes, you could say that he laid the foundation for trade with China, in the same terms you could say Guttenberg laid the foundation for Playboy or Hustler. In truth Nixon was seeking to play off China aginst Russia, China being as large as it was and right on Russia's doorstep with hundreds of thousands of potential troops. It helped to make Russia a little less sure of itself.

He did resign! Would that GW would have done that instead of turning into a drunken sailor.

There were days weren't there. Bush was such a flop.
