A Letter to President Richard Nixon
Dear President Richard Nixon,
Mr. President, your day has arrived. I have always said event's make a President, on the other hand, you need that perfect person to handle the event's.Take Abraham Lincoln for instance, he was the right man for the right time. President Lincoln actually became a dictator. Now Mr. President, you can ask me how to explain that. Our constitution stated that each state has the right to secede from the United States. Many people do not realize that was the main reason the Civil War was started. Lincoln played the role of dictator by not allowing the Southern States to secede from the nation when they had the constitutional right to do so. Can you imagine where our country would be today, broken up in different small nations, if we did not have someone of Lincoln's resolve.
Yes Mr. President, there was another era in our history, the year was 1968. You became our President. I campaigned for you door to door. I still have the letter you sent me as a thank you for my efforts. You also came along at the right time. Mr. President, many people have forgotten what was going on in our country in the year 1968. First of all there was the Vietnam war going on, a very unpopular war. You had to put up with riots in the streets, you had the Hippie generation, that did not respect anything that had to do with the flag; you had a Democratic controlled congress that did not want to put money out for a strong national defense; you had the Black Panther Revolutionary Group that was in defiance of our system of government.
Mr. President you ended the Vietnam War with respect, it was the Democratic Congress after you resigned from office that cut off all funding for the war that allowed the Vietcong to go back in and take over. You opened the doors to China because you said you cannot ignore one billion people. You started the Environmental Agency, even though you mentioned in one of your books years later that "yes I created the Environmental Agency but not for the reason to destroy a whole industry just to save the owl". After the oil crisis of the early 1970's you were telling the congress that you wanted the United States to become self reliant with our own resources in ten years, and I knew that if you stayed in the Presidency it would have happened.
I know your judgment on the Watergate issue was wrong. I also know what led you to go down that path. Ever since your first election to Congress in the early 1940's the liberal news media was not one of your favorite fans, because you did beat one of theirs. Then the sin of all sins is where you pointed the finger at Alger Hiss as being a communist spy in the Roosevelt and Truman Administration. In 1993 historian Maria Schmidt claimed she had found documents in secret files of the Hungarian Interior Ministry that mentioned Alger Hiss as a spy. The bulk of evidence points to Hiss's guilt, beyond a reasonable doubt. Liberal's for years were trying to disprove this guilt.
So Mr. President when you found out about this Watergate breakin instead of coming out and stating what was found you covered it up thinking what the liberal press would have done to you and they would have.
In 1974 there were 45 lawyer's appointed to the impeachment inquiry staff in Washington DC, advising the House Committee on the Judiciary during the Watergate scandal, one of the 45 lawyer's none other then Hillary Rodham. Under the guidance of Chief Counsel John Door and senior member Bernard Nussbaum, Hillary Rodham helped research procedures of impeachment and the historical grounds and standards for impeachment.The committee's work culminated in the resignation of yourself in August 1974.
Mr. President, one cannot fault one of 45 lawyer's in a impeachment assignment, but what one can fault Mr. President. Hillary Rodham Clinton, has done bad criminal deeds through the years that makes yours look like just a misdeed. The new timid special prosecutor allowed her to get off because the country was already going through hell with the impeachment of her husband President Clinton. Mr. President this is what she has gotten away with:
Cattle Futures
Whitewater
Madison Guaranty
Castle Grande
Rose Law Firm Records
Travelgate
Filegate
Mr. President Richard Nixon, this person Hillary Rodham Clinton, instead of growing from your mistake, became a monster. Whatever she should have learned from your resignation, she became an expert in criminal acts and how to get away with them. Thank God I'm sure Mr. President you were up there watching and saved our country again by sending our Country Obama, and not even allowing this evil person to even get to smell the Presidency.
Mr President, in your farewell speech just before you boarded your last ride on Air Force One, to go home, you stressed the fact that a person should never hate, but you know Mr. President, it sure feels good to see Hillary Rodham Clinton in defeat.
John P.

History, when it is accurate, will present all of our leaders and such as they really were. Unfortunately for Nixon, he inherited the Vietnam War which the French gave up on in 1953. 52,800 heroes' names are on The Wall, and three of those were my school friends with whom I grew up.
I have to ask, though, who is convinced Barrack Obama is a Muslim? He's a Christian. I thought there were many upset with media "lies" about Palin, but this one slides by, but it's okay for Palin to have an African pastor to cast a spell over her to protect her from witchcraft? Interesting, so mote it be.
allshookup, I am glad that you enjoyed this one and happy that someone learned from it aswell, but one question? Who and why do you think they are a muslim?
NJoG,
One thing that I have learned over the years is that you really don't know what a person is, even your own family members can surprise you every now and then, didn't he say himself that he is a christian? So if there are those out there who question this then what does that say about trusting him? If one trusted someone they wouldn't question anything would they? So the issue truly is not about religion, it is about trust. Usually when gossip starts flying around about someone it eventually withers away if it is not true or if trust has been established. What is this about Palin? I have not heard that one, my oh my, if this one does not go away then it will come back to the trust issue.
Obama because he went to a muslim school for a while in his school-age years. Working in Phych, I have learned that what goes into a child's mind for the first 8 years of his/her life becomes embedded in their brain. Why do parents take their children to Sunday School at a young age? To have those beliefs embedded in them. That goes for any belief system, good or bad. What you have instilled into you as a child stays with you for life. Obama also was registered as muslim until after he was married to Michelle. She got him to change and go to Wright's 'church'. I use that term loosely since I have seen a few of the sermons preached there. And to prove that muslim beliefs are instilled in him, have you not see him say how he is going to campaign in the 57 states? 57. There are 57 muslim states. Not 57 United States. He has let this slip on 2 occasions that I know of. I don't think he could win saying he is a muslim in very many political campaigns. Surely not the President of the United States. And I feel that Michelle knew this. This country was founded on Christian ethics. That is what has made our country the great country it has been for so long. Sadly, we are pulling away from Him, and we will fall if we continue on the road we are on.
Also, in his book he wrote that should the winds turn 'ugly' he will support the muslims. Those are his words, not mine. So, that is what makes me feel that even though he's been a member of this Wright man's 'church' for X amount of years and says he is Christian, it doesn't make it so. Hitler also claimed to be a Christian. I can stand in a garage, but that doesn't make me a car.
This man is an excellent speaker, very professional, and can come across almost like some sort of preacher preaching Obama gospel. But, we need to look beyond the speeches of his promises and see what he really is. Like his plan for taxing the rich and businesses more. This is supposed to help us? How do you feel those businesses are going to pay those taxes? They will raise the price on what they sell. And who do they sell to? Us! Middle and poor Americans. His tax plan will hurt us badly in the pocketbook. It sounds good when he's making his speeches, but he doesn't go on to explain how these people will pay those taxes he is raising. We will pay them. That's what I mean about looking into his promises.
Don't get me wrong, McCain is not my favorite for the President. But, I do know that he will stand with Isreal (which we must do) and I feel he will protect America.
This is a very enlightening letter. Well written and showing much that I didn't know. Not sure what else to think about it. I'll have to study on it some.
Thanks SirDent, come back and let me know when you are finished studying it.
Obama is not a Muslim and he will never be! That is a very silly reasoning! If I studied in the same very school as Adolf Hitler and if I lived in the same house as Hitler did while a child, it doesn't mean I am a Nazi nor that I will develop an affinity for Nazis! I cannot believe that people still think in this way!
Barack Obama is far the best choice between these 2 men in US election. Sorry, but if you would like another 4 years of Bush-Cheney lies and financial disasters vote for McCain and I can assure you that his health will deteriorate very soon. Try to read between lines...why they don't want to show full John McCain's medical record to the public? I am from medical profession and I've also read some official medical opinions about McCain's health written by some of the most respected doctors in the world, to whom I believe 1000x time s more than to public spin of election campaign. Physical and mental pressures of American President every day are truly immense and the old war hero is not capable to cope with them in 2008.
About the President Richard Nixon: In a way I feel sorry for him and he really did pay a very high price. However, I think that the present President George W. Bush has been lying much, much more that Richard Nixon has ever could, and he still hasn't payed the same price, due to the new laws under the 'War against terrorism', which protect American public from the real truth, which will come out soon after the election.

I am not a R, D or I. I vote for the person, not the party. But I liked the letter. Some very true statements in there. Althought the thought of a muslim being president still scares me. I am praying hard that our country wakes up and sees what this man is. I liked Nixon. I know Watergate was wrong, but like the letter pointed out, so much was going on, I don't feel Nixon was graded on his presidency as a whole. Most people just remember Watergate when his name is menitioned and he did much more for the good while in office. He was in office during a very hard time in our countrys history. The letter is right, the Clintons make Nixon an angel in comparison. I don't think of the bad things of Nixon when I remember him and I hope I'm not the only one who feels that way. I did not know that she was on the committee to vote in the Watergate hearings. Good to know. Maybe she should have used some of that research when her hubby was in the same position as President Nixon. Shoe was on the other foot then huh? I hear that Arkansas Virus is a dealy one. I'm just glad I never knew these people. Nor vote for them! My conscious is clear. Great hub!
