Yaos posted:Nixon ended the illegal war in Vietnam and barley had the heart to bomb anybody. Cambodia, and what else? Then the little fucker went and normalized relations with China. I think he had a personality disorder, while complaining about the LIEberals he was implementing policies that went far beyond what the LIEberals wanted. You little fuckers want peace and love? gently caress you, I'll give you unconditional basic income. Or maybe he was like Obama and just enjoyed trolling people. If only Nixon had found the right therapist he would've ended the Cold War and ushered in a socialist utopia full of solar-powered blowjob machines and geothermal vibrators.

The supreme court ruled that it's okay for mercury to be in the air and water because it might impact profits of corporations to reduce mercury pollution.

They also ruled in favor of gay marriage. If you read between the lines they know that Mercury must be the cause of homosexuality then. I mean look at his discography he has never done a bad song.

Considering that Congress is progressively turning red since the past several years, no. This political cycle will put a Republican in the White House for two terms, starting in 2016.

Ork of Fiction posted:The thing most people credit him for was the time he made a deal with the Saudis to drop the price of oil low enough to undercut the Russian government, thereby collapsing their economy and forcing an end to a 50 year old arms race with a potential for global annihilation. He also had the charisma of Kennedy, and had good speech writers, so he gave them a hero they could rally behind. Who else would it be? Nixon? Ford? Eisenhower is too far back.

Reagan had amazing speech abilities, natural charisma, wit and also came along when the Democrats were loving inept as all hell and drat near won all 50 states in his 1984 reelection. The only reason the Democrats came back is they went "OK, America now loving hates liberals so find a conservative lite from the South" and we got Clinton. Ford is hard to judge because he shot himself in the foot for pardoning Nixon (not that he stood a chance anyways) plus he nearly lost the primary to Reagan so the only memory we have now is him falling down the Air Force One steps. Nixon would probably be ranked higher (EPA, opening up to China and such were very good moves) if it wasn't for...you know, that thing. Eisenhower? He'd be a loving blue Democrat if he was around today. Justin Godscock fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Jul 1, 2015 |

The republican party will never die because American politics are based on a two party platform. However, the Republican Party will (they have no choice) gradually drop traditional socially conservative views from here on out. The average person in this country simply does not give enough of a gently caress about gay marriage, abortion, illegal weed, religion, etc. to vote solely on these topics; especially in the digital information age. Social media has completely crushed the opposition to gay marriage within the last 11 years. In a way I hope all this is true so that economics & financial issues become the dominant face of politics again. Whoever earlier said that if the republicans were smart they'd recognize that this is a huge victory for them because people won't be voting against them solely because of their opposition to gay marriage anymore was spot on. Unfortunately, they're too loving stupid to take advantage of this. Instead, they're going to continue to scream about fags and out-of-wedlock & dead babies for another 5 years give or take until its political suicide for even attempting it. Once the 2020's roll around I think we'll be seeing some real changes in both parties.

why cant we just form household corporations instead of marriage you know just incorporate in Wyoming an S corporation called the Smith Family, Inc (or whatever your last name is) and write out a contract that gives all members of the corp (all the women and men you are loving) shares and titles like Brother Husband and Sister Wife and then purchase everything through the corporation and give power of attorney to all members and basically have a family in the form of a company? libertarians im available for hire let me help you form your line family household corp "civil union" or maybe you prefer the group "marriage" corp?

nixon actually has a great legacy (both his presidency and elder statesman work) among people that know/care, it's only to the average joe that he's a synonym for watergate. poor guy just needed a good psychiatrist and some pharmaceuticals and he'd be the greatest president in modern america

Nixon was the last of the Pre-CRA/Southern Strategy Republicans.quote:In 1952 and 1956, a majority of blacks backed the Republican Party. And Eisenhower gave them good reason to stay Republican. As soon as the landmark 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education was handed down, Eisenhower ordered desegregation of the Washington DC public schools. In 1957 and 1959, Eisenhower proposed strong civil rights bills to enforce the long-neglected 15th Amendment and give Southern blacks the right to vote. quote:In Dec. 1971, Nixon's Labor Department required all federal contractors to develop "an acceptable affirmative action program," including "an analysis of areas within which the contractor is deficient in the utilization of minority groups and women, and further, goals and timetables to correct the deficiencies." In the decades that followed, government programs mandated a variety of requirements specifying preference be given to minorities in employment and in awarding of certain contracts. I really think a lot of the issues that Nixon is most reviled for were RNC plots and plans that he got swept up in and he ended up taking the fall for as the highest elected Republican.
