Tim Weiner, the Last Nixon Basher

Bashing Nixon

          Tim Weiner joins a dwindling list of Nixon bashers with his new book, One Man against the World, purporting to advance new information about our 37th President.  While the rest of the world has come to realize that Richard Nixon was one of the most important presidents of the 20th Century, Weiner makes the preposterous assertion that Nixon was a suicidal drunk who left the country unattended during his last years in office.

Not a Quitter

          Anyone who has seriously studied Nixon and his presidency knows that above all, he was not a quitter.  Nixon’s life and career were a series of mountains and valleys and even in the depths of despair, he always rose to the challenge of climbing the next hill.  For such a man, resigning the presidency must have been the most difficult thing imaginable, yet he did it for the country he loved and served so well.  In so doing, he spared us from a long, drawn out battle, which he knew he could not win.  The overwhelming combined forces of the liberal media and a liberal Congress had been out to get him from day one.  Despite having the odds stacked against him, suicide would have been out of the question for a man like Nixon and he would never have been derelict in his duties as president.

Last True Statesman  

      Perhaps Mr. Weiner can be forgiven for his distorted view of a great American president.  After all, he has been a reporter for the New York Times, a flagging tabloid known principally for its liberal bias.  In addition, he is a graduate of Columbia University, one of the most liberal institutions in the country.  We are happy to see that at least Tim pronounces his last name according to the correct grammatical rules as in ‘whiner’, unlike the infamous Anthony Weiner who pronounces it as in ‘hotdog’.  All that notwithstanding, thoughtful students of U.S. history will continue to regard Richard Nixon as one of the last true statesmen and one of the two best presidents of the past one hundred years.

President Nixon Was One of Our Greatest Presidents

          Forty years ago today President Richard M. Nixon resigned the office of the presidency, becoming the first and only president in U.S. history to do so.  Many today might wonder how this could have happened when the absolute worst president ever currently occupies the White House with impunity.  The explanation is actually quite simple.  In the early 1970s, both the Senate and the House of Representatives were packed with liberal Democrats who could only be described as pathological ‘Nixon haters’.  Couple that with the fact that there were no balanced news networks like Fox back then, only the three liberal networks, ABC, CBS and NBC.  With left-wing news anchors like Dan Rather and Walter Cronkite spewing their venom every evening for more than a year, the American people were slowly brainwashed into believing that President Nixon had done something horrible.  There is simply no other explanation for how a president who was re-elected by one of the largest landslides in history could fall so far in just two years.  Rather than drag the country he loved through a divisive impeachment battle, President Nixon had the decency to resign, even though he knew he had done nothing to deserve being impeached.

What Might Have Been

          One has to wonder how much better the world would be today if this great statesman had served out the remaining years of his second term.  Vietnam would now be a democracy.  The horrors of ‘the killing fields’ of Cambodia might have been prevented.  President Nixon’s ‘war on cancer’ would have had the chance to fully blossom, potentially saving many lives throughout the world.  The possibilities are endless, but, alas, all of this was quashed by a group of partisan politicians and liberal newsmen.  In the end, President Nixon did nothing worse than any other president.  Perhaps his greatest failing was that he misled the American people to protect some of his staff members.  Contrast that with Impeached President Bill Clinton who lied under oath to protect himself!  Forty years after the fact, President Richard M. Nixon is now regarded as one of our greatest presidents and I am proud to say that I have known that all along.  We could sure use a good man like him now!

Congratulations Saint John Paul II

Saint John Paul II

          We are delighted to learn of the recent canonization of one of the greatest leaders of the Twentieth Century, Pope John Paul II.  Together with President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Pope John Paul brought about the dissolution of the Soviet Union, freeing millions of people from the yoke of communism, including those in his own native Poland.  All this was achieved without bloodshed by three great leaders united in their belief that all people should live in freedom and steadfast in their determination to end the scourge of Soviet communism once and for all.  Congratulations, Saint John Paul II!

Liberals Hate Conservatives

The appalling reaction of many leftists throughout the world to the passing of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher corroborates (see WOW) the observation that conservatives disagree with liberals, but liberals hate conservatives!  The vitriol spewing from the mouths of socialists actually celebrating the death of a fellow human being belies their phony mantra of love and caring for others.  In reality, they care only for themselves and, let’s face it, they didn’t like the late Prime Minister because she made them actually get up off their ‘rusty dusties’ and work for a living.

A Positive Lasting Impact

We congratulate Margaret Thatcher for resurrecting the British economy and for having the foresight to spare the United Kingdom from the current Euro Zone mess.  We are grateful to Margaret Thatcher, who along with President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, brought down the Evil Empire and liberated millions of people from the iron grip of the Soviet Union.  And finally, we salute Margaret Thatcher for being the first and only woman Prime Minister of The United Kingdom while at the same time fulfilling the important roles of wife and mother.  The life and accomplishments of Lady Thatcher will have a positive and lasting impact on the world and we are thankful to have been blessed by her brilliant intellect, her courageous leadership and her wonderful personality.
