More than that?


BS, native-born American citizen and Israeli agent of influence writes,

When Nixon won in 1968, he embarked on a presidency in which he never once had control of both houses of Congress.

He faced an endless bitter assault from the media and from the so-called intellectuals -- the "pointy-headed" intellectuals, as George Wallace aptly called them.

Nevertheless, he ended the war in Vietnam, brought home the POWs and calmed the wild streets.

More than that, he saved Israel when it was threatened with annihilation by its neighbors, sending a massive airlift of arms to Israel during the Yom Kippur War.

Nixon gave unequivocal support to Israel: Johnson could not have cared less about its fate.

Many American born Jews are second only to foreign-born immigrant refugees in thinking of America as first, last, and always a military resource to be used to launch attacks on behalf of the people, nation, or country abroad whose interests, far more than America's, occupy their hearts.

Cuban-Americans of the second and third generation are pretty bad, too.

Did Nixon really signal any such thing as Stein says below?

And what Russian “hopes of global domination”?

Phooey.

Nixon opened relations with Red China that greatly sobered up Russia and allowed the U.S. to become the world's dominant power and peacekeeper for a generation.

This was the key event in ending the Cold War.

By "encircling" the USSR and signaling that if Leonid Brezhnev began a war against either the United States or China, he would face a dreaded two-front war, he showed Russia that its hopes of global domination were not going to work.

To soothe matters with the still extremely dangerous Russian bear, he even signed a strategic arms limitation treaty with the Soviets.

Apart from that, in many ways I agree with BS’s estimate of Nixon and the way he was treated.

It is interesting I did not find this in any of his usual conservative venues.
