GREAT JOB ASSHOLE!

honestly.. with how the media has been treating Trump, i dont know what to believe any more.

>>136419941
yes

At least he was redpilled on the JQ.

In his own words he was NOT a crook

>>136419941
He broke the law, yes. Otherwise I think he was a good man. I especially am enamored with his brilliant foreign policy. He wrecked his legacy pretty soundly, but he was still an incredibly intelligent leader and provided a critical service to his country.

I didnt like Nixon until I heard the clip of him calling bohemian grove ''the biggest group of faggots you'll ever see''. Based as fuck

>>136419941
He was a crook that made the mistake of attacking the power structure. If he just did illegal wiretaps on the average prole no one would have given a shit, just as all other presidents get a pass.

Putting his crookness aside, he was an extremely influential politician and arguably more of a proper liberal than, say, the Clintons. Ended the war, ended the draft, created the EPA, did things that were actually good/well-intentioned for the country despite not being conservative. He also opened the country to international trade beyond just Western Europe, which muhjerbs types will complain about, but did a lot to help the world's economy. At the same time, he also went a long with a lot of $$$ bullshit and increased the level of interplay between corporation and government, and fucked up other things as well, including the entire economy of the 70s.

What's wrong with his head?

>>136419941
Nixon was a saint compared to the shit modern presidents and their parties pull, let's be real here.

Nixon just marked the moment where the American people caught wind of the shit our government does.

He would be considered a liberal by todays standards of the far far right we got now.

>>136426984
>Gold standard

Nixon basically had to, he was in a shitty position thanks to LBJ's Great Society programs and the Vietnam War spending.

It was a shitty position to be in.

If I could go back in time and kill anyone in American history, it would be Deepthroat. Eight years of Nixon and an untarnished legacy would have been a blessing.

>>136430333
I wouldn't want John Connolly in 1976 though, and he'd be the nominee if Nixon had his way.

Nixon is complicated. He WAS a liar and a cheat, there is absolutely no doubt he was dirty politics. However, he also actually cared for the prosperity of the american people in his own weird way.

This comes down to two equally extreme events completely at odds with each other

>1. Nixon is essentially responsible for the petrodollar
>2. Nixon was setup to be ousted by the watergate scandal by the deep state

I think the best way to understand Nixon was that he was a fast rising charisma star who had no fear of taking radical independent steps, and the elites shot him down for that.

I like to believe that if Nixon was around today to see how bad it's gotten, he'd be on our side.

He's the last President after JFK who didn't do everything (((they))) wanted. Yom kippur was only won by Israel militarily because of US aid handed to them by Kissinger. He used Watergate to push for operation Nickel Grass without Nixon's input to rush military equipment to the Israeli front.

He literally did nothing wrong

>>136422983
>hear him talk

Nixon was a word wizard. I think he cared about a particular vision of America, but you have to review everything he said publicly with care because his words are there to cast spells on you, he didn't necessarily mean what he said.

Nixon stopping the trade of Gold gave Sauds and OPEC a shit ton of power. That much consolidated power created the ground work for the conflicts we see today. Had the US diversified the investment of the USD, there wouldn't be such a hardon for protecting the petrodollar.

Oil is not as rare as claim. I bet science reveals one day is stupidly common and replenishes faster than believed.

Another lib bastard suffering from trump derangement syndrome

Think back to when you were young. Think back to the stereotypes of Nixon you had. The feelings. The opinions.

That is a perfect example of (((them))) controlling history

The whole watergate thing was a hitjob but (((they))) portray it like some golden light in the dawn of journalism

What a joke

There are two Nixon's, pre loss in 1960 an post loss. Pre loss would have been a good president all around and kept the prosperity going. Post loss was the leader we got he was paranoid, suffered depression and had to clean up eight years of shit. He put back the pieces and got us back on track before being betrayed by his own party in conjunction with the left. It's not his fault we haven't moved past the petrodollar nor is it his fault that the Republican party was taken over by the neocons.

he was a great politician and patriot, paranoid because the media had bias even back then, and he accepted responsibility for his guys action even though he did try to cover it up. He had the press working against him just like Trump does now. No, he a nothing compared to the Democrats now or then. would a republican senator survive leaving a girl in his car to drown without notifying authorities for 10 hours? Biggest political machines in the country are democrat. The California mess, democrat, Chicago machine, democrat. Because conservatives are normally christian and are in fact not as good at being criminals, they are held to a higher standard and get caught. He himself said he forgot to be a statesman.

the capture of the mainstream by the counter-culture, along with the bulk of the boomer generation identifying their music tastes in the '60s and '70s with their political opinions against the Vietnam War, has been one of the greatest cross-generational causes of bias against Nixon in particular and conservatism in general. even Gen X and the Millennial generation were inundated by this propaganda. he was not nearly as bad as he has been made out to be. W. Bush was a far worse president, for example, but far fewer examples of public ridicule will survive - partly because the music wasn't as good.
the movie Frost/Nixon had a character who was on Nixon's side, and he said something like 90% of what Nixon did was good, and 10% was questionable. the bias the media taught me to have about him made me doubt that at the time of watching, but looking back it's probably much closer to the truth than the 90% bad, 10% good (founding the EPA) that most liberals have as their outlook on the man, an outlook unearned by first-hand experience
