my favourite american president will always be richard nixon.
his only crime was not kowtowing to the shadowy power presences in the washington lobbyism quagmire, though many of them got him where he was.
to destry him, suddenly a story broke from the corporate media that was beginning to take shape in the 70s and starting to flex its muscle. what was that late excerpt from the nixon tapes, something like, 'they took me to that owl, it was the ######gediest G.D. thing i ever saw'.
he got america out of vietnam, the damage was done, get the hell out before more soldiers are killed and captured. johnson had long since pooched that one, were it winnable at all.
he used kissinger effectively, playing off israel and the arab countries whilst they were in direct and inconclusive conflict! the united states could have saved their bacon but were able to work the situation to advantage.
compare that to recent administrations where israeli secret service operatives are caught cheering the WTC collapse in jersey and WALKING. the united states has for a long while been severely in israel's pocket. nixon wouldn't have stood for that.
nixon challenged china and prevented them from becoming a huge and troublesome north korea.
yeah, he was dirty. yeah, he was tricky.
he was the best president ever - he stood up to the lobbyists, the last president to ever do so. a true patriot.
