Richard Nixon

good but too damn paranoid for his own good

>>136679196
he made the worst mistake a politician could ever make

>>136679196
I hate his guts for making "hispanic" a term and lumping all descendants of spanish speakers, regardless if they're white spaniards or brown indians under "Hispanic"

>>136679196
OP, i recommend you the book The Real War, 1980 , Richard M. Nixon, ISBN 84-320-3555-6, what better way to know him than by his own words, The book is your typical The Commies Are Coming type of book, but you can see some of his brilliance.

I really liked the chapter he wrote on the history of Russia and how its lack of democratic traditions gave birth to the Soviet Union and the communist regime.

Will check it out.

Well, this is a common mistake made by older people in general, here in Mexico , we still call Indians to the people from the Chiapas and Oaxaca, not cool, i know.

He was good at what he was - A Neo-Con Globalist.

Despite being opposed every step of the way, going up a wildly corrupt opposition and himself being highly compromised and tossed from officer, he technically accomplished quite a lot - Opened up China and modernized the third world, and ended the war in Vietnam.

Still...A Neo-Con Globalist.

How was he a neocon? He was fairly antiwar for his time, and didn't like Zionists

>>136683894
An Australian shitposter said he was a neo-con, anon. Its over, theres no way he might just be a retard. Nixon must've been a globalist.

>>136679661
>what better way to know him than by his own words

The most retarded shit I've ever heard by a single person.

Best president since Eisenhower

>>136679196
He was a hypocrite. During the Truman era he opposed Truman's secrecy gag order on revealing information to the Senate and investigating Committees on loyalty/security risks and Communist infiltration.

Yet when he becomes VP and Eisenhower does the exact same gag order, even worse then Truman's actually, Nixon supports it.

Yet again when Nixon is President, and Watergate happens, low and behold. He pleads executive privilege to stop Watergate tapes from coming out.

The Eisenhower Administration is largely responsible for the anti-McCarthy sentiment and myths that keep perpetuating themselves. Nixon and Eisenhower essentially suppressed McCarthy and his efforts at exposing Communist infiltration.

>>136684255
Eisenhower was a sodomite. Look it up

>>136684256
>politicians play politics
wtf i love lbj now

>>136684315
i looked it up and found nothing

>>136683831
The neo cons were literally socialists during the Nixon era.

>>136684512
Watch more JAV. Japanese men call out his name when they cum. Iiiiike!

>>136679196
Traitor. New document released from archives show he interfered with a Vietnam peace plan to fuck over the Dems during the election. After he won elxn, his incompetence lead to the loss of all of 'nam to the commies. (Thenagain, he was busy sucking up to China, so maybe that was the plan all along)

(Sound familiar)

>>136684174
You dont judge a character by his or her own words?

You judge them by what ? Electrolisys?

>>136684512
You have to look on the darknet, punce

>>136679487
>White spaniards
>White
>Spaniards

Lmao ok spic

>>136684381
Just saying, if you're unironically using that flag, it's strange you would support a man who suppressed, derailed and ultimately helped to stop McCarthy's efforts to reveal Communist agents or extremely lax security protocols inside the US Government. Not to mention slandered him.

>>136685028
fuck you, nigger. You don't even know geography, fucking jew cocksucker.

Shitty wasp prejudices of the time, nothing to do with him.

>>136684621
I keked.

>>136685628
>t. Spic

Nixon was the perfect president for /pol/. He was smart but poor and resented successful "elites." Socially awkward. Sexually repressed and bad with women. Saw conspiracies everywhere. Changed his politics to what was surprising (edgy) and hated the jews while at the same time being manipulated by one of them--Kissenger. Sounds awfully /pol/ to me.

Nixon you could say had his heart in the right place, but didn't know best how to get the job done. He tried though.
He was intimately aware of the JQ, he knew that the Communists were behind the hippy movement, and he wanted to cripple them. The whole danger of marijuana thing today largely came from that. He saw all the blacks and Commies smoking pot so he thought he could target this one thing to get them all in one fell swoop. A laudable tactic, but not one properly thought out.
He did have to work within much more subtle methods in pushing back against the emboldened Communist movement. McCarthy getting quashed did a lot of harm for overtly naming and attacking Communist agents.

Its not like Nixon was some impeccable statesman when it come to understanding finance, foreign policy, or other matters of state. You could say in most things he was par for the course in politics.
