I was eleven years old in November 1960 when my father and I watched Richard Nixon concede the presidential election to John F. Kennedy. My father, a former FBI agent, shook his head. “Another victory for Mayor Daley of Chicago,” he said.
“What does that mean?” I asked.
“It means Mayor Daley stole the election,” he answered.
“Then why doesn’t Nixon do something about it?” I asked indignantly.
“Because it would tear the country apart, and no one wants that.”
“Why not?”
“It doesn’t work that way,” he replied. “Nixon is being a gentleman.”
Of course, it wasn’t just my dad who felt that way. I heard his sentiment echoed many times after that election by teachers, news commentators, and my friends’ parents. The election might have been stolen, sure, but these things happen. Move on.
I didn’t agree with that thinking then, and I don’t agree with it now. Is it gentlemanly to allow an election to be hijacked right before your eyes? And what does “tearing the country apart” mean? A civil war? Why? Because someone finally pulls back the curtain on corruption that we’ve lived with for decades?

Donald Trump, of course, the constitutional winner of the election.
Next question.
I just finished “Witness” by Chambers.
Nixon was one of the good guys.
His Watergate coverup tainted an otherwise distinguished life.
It’s not 1960 this time.
“Another victory for Mayor Daley of Chicago,” he said.
“What does that mean?” I asked.
“It means Mayor Daley stole the election,” he answered.

Why is this nonsense still spread around? Kennedy won the EC vote 303-219. I don’t doubt Daly stole Ill from Nixon but it made no difference in the end.
We will govern ourselves.
However we have to go about it.
Whatever they want to call it.
No matter what they do.
We will govern ourselves.
Why so brazen this time? Because they know they can take full control of the system after they steal the Senate election in Georgia as well.
Sapwolf-Joe Paterno was a good man. Mark Sandusky did him in.

well played
Texas was also stolen in 1960. Lyndon Johnson saw to it. Between Illinois (27evs) and Texas (29evs), the 57evs was enough to shift it from Nixon to Kennedy. Hey, if Nixon stuck to his guns and won it from Kennedy, maybe Nixon would have ended up dying in Dallas instead. They were both hated and disposed of by the ruling class.
“Texas was also stolen in 1960. Lyndon Johnson saw to it.”
Although I hadn’t heard this it is easy enough to believe given what is known about Johnson.
I always thought it would have been irony of ironies if Nixon had been shot in Dallas. There wouldn’t have been an eternal flame for him, for sure. But then again, Nixon probably wouldn’t have needed to go to Dallas to shore up his votes there, so perhaps it’s moot.

We are at war with the Left. Either we win and wipe them out or they win and we conservatives will be hunted down and eliminated.
The Left is already saying as much.
No it isn’t. Feels more more like 1860.
Paterno had a chance to stop it, but didn’t. Sometimes evil shows in what we DON’T do, not just in what we DO.
He failed ‘godhood’.
We did that once.
never again
Maybe so but you will still have to wear a mask. [:~)
The Left has turned Nixon into a bad guy, Crooked President. LBJ was much more corrupt. They will do the same to Trump “Orange Man Bad!” in the years to come. Maybe a Civil War isn’t really such a bad Idea after all. Let the corrupt states have their Worker’s Utopia while the rest of the nation is still free.
-The Berlin Wall was built
-Communist Cuba was established
-We were sent to Southeast Asia to fight a war the President didn't really want to win. Instead, he wanted to enrich his Defense contractor buddies. That sumbitch LBJ tried to kill my dad twice that way.
-We had the black race emasculated by the War on Poverty.
JFK was a lightweight prettyboy who was never intended to become President. That was supposed to go to Joe Junior. When Junior died in a stupid and unnecessary plane accident in World War II, Papa Joe put little John out front.
The press loved him because he was banged Angie Dickinson.
