because our whole world is a lie

People only associate him with Watergate nowadays, even though his presidency was pretty good up until then.

I'm a liberal and I like nixon. Where is the source that says liberals hate nixon

Gee... I wonder

Redblooded patriot WASP who saw what the Jews were. (((Woodward and Bernstein))) not surprising.

...

Stop saying "wasp". He's not from New England. You don't know what the word means.

He was a victim of a jewish smear campaign after he threatened to expose jewish control.

Because of people like Hunter S. Thompson that made a living bashing people like Nixon.

Cause he was the hero we needed but not the one we deserved. He was right about everything if you listen too his tapes. The sound of betrayal in his voice when he figures out who deep throat is is heart breaking. WHY WHY WOULD HE DO THAT? Who told you tell me!?

Because he cared about the country.

For real. They make him Homa I'll an to this day over water gate when the wiki leaks emails exposed things 100 times worse but no one gave a damp cause they're to dumb too read them. Then I go to uni and hear some jackass go on about living water gate and nothing being that bad in American politics what a joke.

>liberals
>knowing anything about history

To them Nixon = Watergate, and nothing more.

What about "White Anglo-saxon Protestant' implies New England?

Trump is getting the Nixon treatment right now.

They think he started the Vietnam War.

He extended the Vietnam war purely to get reelected. I'd say that's a pretty good reason

They aren't aware of WHY they're conditioned the way that they are.

It's a vicious cycle, and it's just sad, honestly.

(((They))) hated him for Mccarthy.

Liberal here.

Nixon was not a bad president, he was actually one of the best foreign policy presidents we've had in a long, long time. He was almost singlehandedly responsible for weakening the idea of the Iron Curtain by visiting China, he engaged in talks with the USSR which ushered in de-nuclearization, and his Middle East diplomacy lead to a period of prosperity for many decades.

Three things I don't agree with him on, though:

1) His support for ERA - the Marxist-feminist amendment pushed in the 70s which sought to eliminate all legal distinctions between men and women as a form of constitutional law - this would have almost certainly led to gay marriage laws and extremely liberal pro-abortion laws, as well as destroyed the economy as women had to be hired under the same quota as racial minorities

2) The 'Nixon shock' - cancellation of the direct international convertibility of the United States dollar to gold. This one is self-explanatory, it's the reason we have fiat currency and the petrodollar.

3) CDAPCA and the Controlled Substances Act - look, I know you right wing conservatives hate drugs because they lead to degeneracy and would definitely be ok with pot having the same legal classification as heroin, but from the minute this act was signed, all it led to was more drug use and more crime. It wasn't all bad - it had segments that formed the backbone of modern day rehabilitation plans, but on the whole it was poorly researched, poorly planned and did nothing to accomplish its goal, only exacerbated it.

Despite these, he really was not that bad of a president, and many liberals agree with him and his polices - at least, the older ones who have done any research on him, not the nu-liberals who screech because of Watergate.

Fun fact: he was a big fan of integration and his most ardent haters for a period were the Southern democrats who advocated segregationism.

Because they are told to.

He destroyed US steel. Rest in piss

But I don't. In fact, I love Richard Nixon.

At least he ended the draft.

Nixon was way better prior to becoming president. He was a staunch Cold Warrior who had McCarthy's back, knew Alger Hiss was a commie spy, and had Goldwater's back too when the establishment Republicans were abandoning him.

When he became president, he took us off the gold standard, firebombed Cambodia leading to the Khmer Rouge, and instituted price controls and all other sorts of autism. He described himself as having been converted to "Keynsianism" from economic conservatism.

In his defense, he did have a peace deal negotiated with South and North Vietnam right before he resigned. The Democrat commies swept into Congress following Watergate, and cut off funding to the south while Gerald Ford begged them not to, and the Viet Cong swept in, and we "lost" the war.

Also in defense of Nixon, if he beat Kennedy in 1960, which he probably did as there were reports of vote fraud and all kinds of shenanigans, there would have been no Hart-Cellar or Great Society (modern welfare state). All of that hell goes back to Johnson, the worst president of all time. We would be in a completely different America today had Nixon won in 1960.

Every state voted for him, he was pardoned not impeached. He did pretty good things. Liberals hate him because Clit ton was Impeached.

Vice Presidents who become Presidents from deaths are pieces of shit. Examples: Harry S Truman was in office for a few weeks and uses nukes. LBJ goes to war with Vietnam over a North Vietnamese attack that didn't kill anyone.

Do you see that pic I posted? Calvin Coolidge, a former vice president, was bar-none, the greatest president of the twentieth century. The automobile, radio, and refrigerator all became widespread commodities among average Americans in the Roaring Twenties.

Then Federal Reserve monetary policy and Hoover, and then Roosevelt's autism led to, strengthened, and extended the Great Depression.

>Coolidge disdained regulation, and demonstrated this by appointing commissioners to the Federal Trade Commission and the Interstate Commerce Commission who did little to restrict the activities of businesses under their jurisdiction.
All Coolidge did was not interfere.

Just a (((coincidence)))

Because he was right

And why do you think the economy was so awesome? He was a proper, constitutional conservative who "presided" and "oversaw" as opposed to dictated, which is what presidents were always supposed to do.

Then you had big government cuckservative who was hardly different from Roosevelt politically with his hamfisted tariffs and intervention in the economy, and muh public works, terrible monetary policy from the Federal Reserve, and then Rusevelt. Yet because the left writes the history books, they point at the party under Coolidge, with no evidence or backing, pretend Hoover was a conservative who continued Coolidge's hands-off policies, and that FDR "saved" us (it only took a decade and a world fucking war).

McKinley and Harding were great too, and Reagan was a good man for his time, but Coolidge was objectively the greatest of the century.

because nixon was an outsider and the last of the old schoolers before the MIC and the CIA took over government

nixon was Eisenhower's VP. Eisenhower warned of the military industrial complex

He was too easy to politically assassinate so the deep state tried for 7 straight years until they finally caught him in watergate it was 7 straight years of propaganda like trump today

correction: big government cuckservative, *Hoover, who...

wait what? teddy roosevelt was objectively a good potus

He was a genius at foreign policy.
>Drove a wedge between China and Russia
>Ruthless
>Genius
>Flawed man who loved power
>Deeply Christian
>Hated liberalism and hippies
>Was effective in taking down enemies

Mental illness, criminality, hopeless war leader, hopeless economic policies.

>hurr durr nixon controlled the world before he was potus
>durr he told vietnam to not end the war because nixon and vietnam knew that he would become potus in the future

do you really believe those things

he was a good leader, but he was also a giant asshole and a liar.
He's like trump only smarter and good at what he does, with an added tinge of "everyone is degenerate"

I'm not sure you know what the word "reelected" means, but I'll forgive you because I understand as a Swede english is not your native tongue

He was good as an antithesis to the New Left and made a genius pivot on China, but he fucked up big league in Cambodia.

But as for domestic and economic policy, more important in my humble opinion, he failed. He was a total interventionist, big gov't RINO.

Disastrous War on Drugs. Don't care if you're a hardline Sessions DEA prick, it's an abject an expensive failure.

Nixon's reputation has tarnished the positives of his Presidency, some of which are quite good. But because these deserve to be reconsidered doesn't erase the cold fact that he was of the most corrupt, nasty, troubled personalities to have been in the Oval Office.

They never forgave him for his role in taking down Alger Hiss.

Because if the president does it it isn't a crime

I'm completely clueless about American society or history but weren't the powers behind Great Society too powerful to be contained on the long run? Like sooner or later some Democrat would've enacted it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Society
Possibly, it was the time of ending prosperity of the Americans but not yet felt by them... so anyone might've been able to sell BUT Johnson made it his pet project. So he was heavily pushing for it. The programs that he started are the main reason why we have such a huge national debt today.

*to sell it to them

> Theodore Roosevelt was a piece of shit

kys

That's the point

>pretty good

He was a RINO through and through. He is why we are cucked to China.

Roosevelts themslves were jews, they changed their name from Rosenvelt/Rosenfelt. Emigrated from Jew epicenter Amsterdm to Jew York, literally worked as merchants, founded the Bank of New york (ISAAC ROSENVELT HELLO).

Delanos were maranos (cryptos).

Obviously it would have been bad optics for a open jew to tell german emigrants to bomb their cousins to help jews.

I actually Googled WASP and Nixon because
user hurt my feelings.

WASP is sort of implicitly New England old money, but extending it to mean white Protestant traditionalist is not uncommon.

What's sort of funny is that Nixon, as I learned from Wikipedia, was from California, but his ancestors were indeed New England WASPs, stretching back to the colonies.

I'm more worried about the demographic aspects.

The reason why we see the establishment push immigration and social justice for niggers is in large part because of welfare.

When it's paid, it's taken from private pockets as loans, for which interest will be paid, which is of course profit for some.

This applies both to negroes and Mexicans... but not only is it cheap money transfer for big capital, it also makes immigrants more wage-competitive.

You can work for half the money if you get the other half through the state for free, right?

Works out for landowners, sucks for tax payers.

But taxes and financial shenanigans aren't even the most problematic aspects... turning the U.S. into the same shitfest Brazil is in the meantime, is, however.

Also I know this is much longer than what a Sup Forums discussion allows for, and you're not necessarily well versed in South American politics, but do you know what exactly caused the subcontinent to be as much of a shithole it is now? If you look at pre-WW1 pictures of Mexico, Argentina and Brazil they looked as European as Paris or London.

Big state socialism and an entrenched upper class that robs everyone else no matter the system.

South america always had a very large number of descendents from both the native and slave population (both indigent) along with a highly rich colonial elite. This model remained for most of its history which resulted in both high disparities between the rich and poor as well as high levels of corruption (which always ends up thriving in such environments).

Its a vicious cycle. Most of the people are poor, someone gets to a position of power, becomes corrupt and fucks everyone in the process.
If this was due to race alone the US would be on the same level or worse because they are cosmopolitan as fuck.

>genius pivot on China

what do you think, how much did the USSR influence this process?

Like, through Cuba, an immense amount of Russian influence was brought into the region. Surely that's undeniable? But what's the extent, really.

he wasn't a democrat

Just call me, DEEP THROAT

He was part of the MccArthy trials. Communists never forget an enemy of the (((State))).

He was right.

Also the jews

kent state vietnam and he was a treasonous dick

>Fun fact: he was a big fan of integration and his most ardent haters for a period were the Southern democrats who advocated segregationism.

Its kinda funny, his administration forced a lot of schools to "intergate" in the south and the George Wallace voters in 1968 voted for Nixon in 1972 despite it. If anything they should had continued voting for the American Independent Party or stayed home.

ah yes, when the racist switch to republican.

>won 49 states
>won the vietnam war
>brought civil rights to the country
>everyone loved him
>made china capitalist

The man was the best President the United States has ever had.

No, the debt didn't become the problem it is until Reagan and his cutting of taxes without cutting enough spending to compensate.

I aspire to be like Nixon

uh... Excuse me.

My friend Andrew would like a word with you.

Because he said bad things in private!
