During the 60’s I knew a parent who had a son who was a part of the
thousands of protesters against the Vietnam war. He told me a story where
Nixon walked out to the protesters in Washington DC alone with only two secret
service agents and talked to his son and it changed his life. He really cared.
President Johnson grew his hair long and refused re-election, he could not
deal with what he had started. Mash played for many years on TV, it was not
about Korea, it was about Viet Nam. No one could face it and anyone who did
was a part of the problem and a general black listing of Hollywood-Smothers
brothers and star trek stars. Fast Forward today, Was our goal to set up an
Islamic Religious state? I don’t think so. Nixon is my favorite president in
the last 40 years. He gave us equal rights and community colleges. He tried to
stop oil price gouging by price freezes. Bad economics but someone who cared.
He was smart and he did way more than Reagan in his second term. Today he
would be a liberal. I have one more concern; we have super conservatives and
super liberals. I am in the middle—I feel like an endangered species, no one
wants to take the middle ground. Clinton did, to the left, but why can’t we
have a middle. Please answer me that. We need someone to bind America.
