>> these were unquestionable truths
Uh, no. You’re an idiot, Nickie
Stopped reading right there.
He is among the worst President we've ever had for two things: a) taking us off the gold standard for foreign exchange, which enabled unlimited imports and transferred control of the currency from Congress to the Federal Reserve via interest rates; b) the slew if alphabet agencies that intimidate citizens and strangle American businesses like EPA.
His corpse should be dug up and burned just for those two things alone.
“You finally learned your parents were full of BEEP?”
Not really. He learned that maybe Nixon wasn’t quite as awful as he believed growing up — a slightly nuanced anti-christ instead of Satan himself.
But just because one thinks people are out to get him, does not mean they aren't.
Well, he gave us abortion, so there’s that.
No he didnt.
He is still the same leftist asshat he was at 16
Nixon’s greatest crime was beating McGovern in a nationwide landslde. No one in the media voted for Nixon or knew anyone who did, so he had to be punished.
Nixon was a saint compared to present DC Deep State
So will he be calling for Biden to end the war in Ukraine, or is that the next Republican’s responsibility just like Viet Nam?
Nixon was an American nationalist and a fierce anti communist. He was not a “movement” conservative, such as Barry Goldwater. In that regard he was a pragmatist much like Donald Trump.
Because he was trying to win it?
Nixon was recorded on the famous White House tapes saying Washington “is full of Jews,” and “most Jews are disloyal” and “you can’t trust the bastards.” But if those recordings were mentioned at the museum, I missed them.
Just as you will miss the "F'ing Jew Bastards" quote at the Clinton Museum.
I couldn’t help but think about Nixon’s cheerleading role in the McCarthy era — a period of blacklists, loyalty oaths, the naming of names and the persecution of people for their political beliefs.
And a real communist infiltration of the Arts and Sciences.
What about the Republicans’ cynical “Southern strategy” to win over white voters in the South using coded language to play on racial fears?
Against the likes of George Wallace and Bull Connor?
And finally, Watergate. In the run-up to the 1972 campaign, Nixon’s cronies burgled the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist, broke into Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Hotel, engaged in “dirty tricks” and campaign finance abuses. They targeted political enemies, including weaponizing the IRS against adversaries.
That's the Democrat playbook now, thanks to Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

I am somewhat to the left of VP Nixon but very far to the right of Pres Nixon
The CIA has conducted three coup d’eta. Kennedy, nixon and trump.
For me it was Kennedy. I still remember when he was shot my grandmother saying "The SOB got what he deserved".
It WAS abut national security. The Congress and Senate should have been pinning medals on President Nixon and his entire staff, including those who broke into the Watergate. They were, in fact, trying to keep an known-communist, ( communist-bitch McGovern, ) out of the White House.
Quite the contrast to say, the Clinton library, where his perjury, sexcapades and calling in his political chits to skate through impeachment were entitled "defending the constitution."
Nixon could make a better claim of defending the constitution with the Watergate break-in and subsequent cover-up which ultimately drove him from office.
