Thank you. As an aside, I’ll readily admit I have a strong distaste for Eisenhower. He inflicted disastrous harm to the GOP, effectively destroying it as a national party at the Congressional level and making an ever-increasing Socialist/Communist-sympathizing Democrat party a permanent majority. The 1958 elections (the biggest one-time loss the GOP ever suffered in the Senate before or after) should’ve been an enormous warning sign about 1960, and instead good ole Ike did next to nothing to stop JFK and help Nixon when he could’ve.
Although as we know Nixon was no Conservative paragon, I think the 1960s would’ve unfolded dramatically different with him as President from 1961-1969. I believe he would’ve liberated Cuba (because unlike JFK, Nixon didn’t fear Khrushchev, and knew he was a strutting peacock and blowhard), taken a more moderate approach on Civil Rights (which would’ve kept a substantial chunk of the Black vote with the GOP - Nixon still got 1/3rd of their vote in 1960 - and prevented their wholesale radicalization), not bungled Vietnam in the early going, and we would’ve never had the deranged legislative & spending orgy of Great Society.
Perhaps I have too many high hopes for an earlier Nixon Administration, but I still cling to the belief that we would’ve been better off across the board had the fiasco of JFK/LBJ not inflicted their agenda on the nation. It would indeed be curious to see.
Agree.
The Commies in the US “establishment” never forgot Nixon’s effective Anti-Communist efforts (truly Conservative activism against the “underground” leftovers of Truman, Eisenhower and ...Kennedy, still in the gubmint. What Nixon did proving Alger Hiss (and thus Harry Hopkins and several others with FDR and Truman, selling the US and the free world out to Stalin)— they never forgave him that either— hence, the nothingburger in all truth that was Watergate. The current Russia Hoax proven actions by demonrats far exceeds anything in Watergate— waaay beyond the demonrats ability to control the after facts, destroying the entire story and uncovering their criminal actions.
The Stalinist agents of then are sort of like the lying a@@holes embedded into our govt now, who are all muzzies and obama (obamaumao, as i call him) sycophants Alinskyites, who are pulling the strings of their puppet, JoeBama Biden.
I was starting to think that as well.thank you.
