Almost Jackass, but wrong as usual.
Pro-choice liberals would have supported Stanley Anne Dunham's (Obama's mother) decision on whether or not to have children. Whereas "conservatives" like you would have wanted the government to decide if she should have a child.

If he had been a dem, this thread would have 400 posts. This is expected of republicans. Nixon was the one who gave us HMO's, putting money before human lives. This is also expected of republicans

President Nixton. One of nature's noblemen.

Nixon was the one who gave us HMO's, putting money before human lives.

And it also made health care available to people who couldn't afford it prior. Admittedly it wasn't A-one health care, but mediocre health care is better than no health care wouldn't you agree, bOoB?

This is also expected of republicans

The general concensus is that republicans didn't want health care for the little people, which Nixon brought. You breaking with the ranks, bOoB?

As far as the frozen wages I got my 1st full time job around then and they managed to give me the raises every 3 months they said they would give me when they hired me. How? I didn't ask.

Gimme,
I got a raise before the implementation,too.And I was about 16 and working at Jack in the Box.I was just trying to make a point.

Nixon Would Have Aborted Obama

Geeze, I leave for only one hour to fix dinner and come back to find out Nixon was pregnant with Obama and was thinking of aborting him. Good thing he changed his mind. The Republican pro-lifers will be pleased to hear about this.

Can't leave DR for a minute without breaking news! LOL

Nixon launches HMO's. History in the making.

OR we could have allowed the states to determine whether or not to have the child. you know, kinda like it was before the federal government took away this states' right. i don't recall abortion being a constitutional right, but then some attorney felt it was covered by the 14th Amendment. somehow i thought that amendment was supposed to overturn Dred Scott vs. Sandford (the basis for "legal" slavery at the time).

anyway, what a racist comment from an era i'm glad has passed. ignorant fools some where... maybe he pulled from his own experience and shame. Maybe he was a Jefferson worried he might have a few illegitimate kids running around.

Nixon launches HMO's.

Isn't it great how he brought affordable health care to those who couldn't previously afford it, bOoB? I know how you feel about the poor having health care, so Nixon must've really warmed your heart, didn't he?

"There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that," he told an aide. "When you have a black and white".

I don't get it

Jimmy Carter ran against Ford by asking "Are you better off today than 4 years ago". He had a "misery index" which was the inflation rate + the unemployment rate. The problem was that when he ran against Reagan 4 years later. Reagan asked the same question and Carter's "misery index" was twice what it was under Ford!

Interesting to learn of Ronnie Raygun's approval of the firings of Cox and others, he shows he was a scub bag long before he entered the white house.
These men believed they were above the law and that the American people were just peasants. May they both rot in hell.

But the cookie?! From Seinfeld?

Was there any group other than white men that Nixon didn't hate? Episcopalians? Rotarians? Librarians?

There have been millions of Obama's aborted in the past 30 years, all with the blessing of Barack Obama himself.

Lincoln was a racist who nevertheless freed the slaves. Nixon was a racist who opposed abortion on demand for blacks. It took the Barack Obamas and Thurgood Marshalls of the world to see the justice and morality in piling up corpses of black children.

I guess that's what liberals call progress.

May they both rot in hell.

Nixon was the founding Father of the Southern Strategy, this to separate the White Southern vote from African Americans to capture the South in Presidential Elections, well guess what it has worked. But now History has caught up with these RACIST FUCKS.

Yea, Yea, did not check spelling, so damn what.

Believing that abortion is justified in cases of mixed-race babies is extremely hateful and prejudiced, FreeChoice. Nixon must have really hated black people to think that way. There's no other way around it.

"is a kin to..."

Maybe a cousin? Three times removed? But I was thinking of Nixon's Watergate criminality, since the contents of this tape didn't exist during his lifetime. I'll try and spell it out more clearly for you next time around.

Boy this headline is a stretch. Nixon would not have aborted anyone but simply felt it would have been acceptable to allow a woman to abort a fetus of a mixed race child. I disagree with that view as all abortions except to save the life of the mother are unacceptable to me.

I am also sure if ole billy clinton had knocked up a black staffer that he would not have pressured her to have an abortion.

Why do we need to judge one as worse than the other? Here's a quote from a letter Byrd wrote to a segregationist senator when he was 26: "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

26 years old! Both his sentiment and Nixon's are repulsive.

Danni, at first I was scared shitless that you and I agreed on something, then I read it again and realized you're just retarded and contradict yourself. Cutting taxes is a conservative train of thought, one that has been proven to increase overall tax receipts.

As far as the rich "paying their fair share." What a crock of shit. How about these statistics:

The top 1% of wage earners pay 39% of the total federal income tax.

The top 25% of wage earners pay 86% of the total federal income tax.

The top 50% of wage earners pay 97% of the total federal income tax.

Interesting logic. By libtard definition, it would have been impossible to have "aborted Obama", since a fetus is just a conflation of cells and lumpy matter.

Love the headline, though. Next time I hear Obama advocate a hardline pro-choice position for underprivileged women, I'll just read it to say, "Obama Would Have Aborted Obama".

I'm a nobody. I'm one of the 43 percenters nobody listens to. If Obama believes in unlimited abortion on demand for blacks, the poor, and minorities--there must be a good reason. And if I disagree, it must make me a . . . umm . . . racist or something. Whatever.

Although Matt Drudge is right wing and the Retort is left wing, those labels aren't always that helpful. Both sites are run by reclusive news junkie weirdos in our early 40s who work out of our homes in Florida. Neither of us is particularly loyal to our respective parties.

I wonder how many libtards with "Free Tibet" on their bumpers could tell me the capital of Tibet? Or even where it is? Or even whom we're supposed to be freeing it from? A single, solitary thing about their history or language?

"reclusive news junkie weirdos" I love it. I've been wondering how to describe myself, now if only I could make a living from it...

Don't know if you go in for this sort of thing so take it for what it's worth. I read a book about haunting's of Washington. In it, a psychic/medium says that Nixon is still roaming the Earth because of the public's perception of him. He can't move on until his image as a president is made better. He is very angry about the tapes and doesn't want them released. Looks like he just got another hundred years of roaming to do.

That's too bad. No, really. If you think it's "so important to me to impress people like you" you might want to consult a professional about your low self-esteem. You reek of it, and haunting a blog, playing the sad sack, and making idiotic statements isn't going to accomplish much in that department.

Umm . . . it was sarcasm, professor. I should have flagged it. My fault this time.

I will respond if you are capable of posting something more than this 'celisary' level..

#141 | Posted by afkabl2

Sorry, but that is as much respect as is due to someone who thinks newly released Nixon tapes are not newsworthy and are a product of some mythical Obama enemies list.

I mean, what good does it do to have greater insight into the man who took us through one of the most traumatic times in our national history?

Pfffffftttt.

I wish this site had been around in my grade school days, I would have sounded so much more learned in the ways of schoolyard taunts.

Yeah. I'll get right on that, as soon as I'm done with the cultural anthropology course you recommended yesterday.

I don't care about the Nixon tapes.

I want to see the 9/11 tapes the gov't confiscated around the Pentagon -preferably unedited.

I don't want to see Clinton's tapes.

Not really. The only ones who impress faux intellectual liberals are other faux intellectual liberals. That explains the hysterics when Obama says he can cook Pakistani rice dishes or has read Urdu poetry, or, for that matter, pronounces it "Pockystan". Or published a newspaper in college. And so on. I just call them out on it. It's fun.

So, kids--what's the capital of Tibet? Who ran Darfur in the 1950's? What's the difference between a Sunni and a Shi'a?

That's what I thought.

Just one more reason to have voted for Nixon...I kid, but what do you think Al Gore, Sr. or Robert C. Byrd would of...nevermind. Iran bleeds while you guys scream a headline from 36 years ago.

better if you didn't pontificate about a time a place before you existed.

Get real. Racism cuts both ways, and it was alive and well during Nixon's terms. There was no PC bullshit. At least in private people said what they believed. And miscenagation was considered a social crime because the child would suffer bigotry regardless of the environ. White America didn't want to know about it, and Black America was caught up in the Beauty of Noir.

Things have changed. We now have one of those children as our president. We have the Rainbow Republicans trying to catch up. Interracial marriage is accepted, and biracial or multiracial is cool.

But I never really liked Nixon so flame away. Just don't pretend that he was unusual in his beliefs because he reflected our society - at least white society - during that era.

My maternal grandmother hated Nixon. Still does today, even in her reduced mental capabilities. In her case it was probably a Kennedy thing, since she's Irish Catholic. But I love the fact that she kept the newspaper "Nixon Resigns" for 20 years.

None of us know what was in the man's heart when he died. We all grow and change as a result of our experiences. Nixon had experiences that you will never dream about, and no doubt came out a changed man - and with regrets.

I know it's just a lot easier to demonize him.

Despite Nixon's personal faults, we as a country and the rest of world owe him unending gratitude for being able to stand up to Brezhnev, for having the balls and the craziness to make Brezhnev really believe that he, Richard Nixon, would kill every single person in the USSR if B. went thru on his threat to go nuclear in 1973.

There IS some good in reviving memories of the truly ugly Richard Nixon today.

If Barry Goldwater was the last Republican with integrity (some of us even recall an Eisenhower who warned of the military-industrial establishment), Nixon pioneered the brand that reached an abhorrent maturity in Ronald Reagan and flowered all over hell with the administration that left less than six months ago. herm

There have been millions of Obama's aborted in the past 30 years, all with the blessing of Barack Obama himself.

Nixon would shit a brick if he knew Obama would be the first black American president in history. He DEFINITELY would have had Obama aborted if even had the slightest inkling that this would occur.

So I don't think tricky Dicky

I was draft eligible 1969-1973.

I despised LBJ, but I loathed Nixon.

Using your logic, which Bush do you think wanted the troops to die more badly?

Using your logic, which Bush do you think wanted the troops to die more badly?

Using that logic (which you falsely postulated by taking my quote out of the context of the thread, but I"ll run with it anyway) no, I don't think so. ~35,000 died in Vietnam while Johnson was president. ~4,000 died in Iraq while Bush was president.

See the absurdities that arise when you quote out of context, senseless?

Nixon had a really long list of people and things he didn't like; Jews, gays, blacks, Italians, Russians, San Francisco, marijuana and on and on. With every new tape release the list gets longer and the rants get crazier. He really did need to be in therapy but psychiatrists were on his shit list too.

nixon got his vice president job on the recommendation of martin luther king sr -nixon had one of the best records on civil rights at that time -as good if not better than jfk-nixon was not as racist as he is portrayed -i haven't seen the whole quote -sometimes black and white means reason is plain

Not "black and white", Jas, "A black and A white".

"There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that -- when you have a black and a white or a rape,"

Nixon hated everybody including himself.

It doesn't change his record, but it may well shed some light on his motivations.

The Obamaman wouldn't have pardoned this cretin but rather have prosecuted his ass to the extent of the law. Nixon had a man the maybe should have had his abortion in G. Ford. Then our system might have had the chance to prove it's ability to work. I am aware that many thought this would have hurt the US but there are maybe as many that feel it would have strengthened us.

Ironic that those who live through a time period, like the Nixon years, never have a full understanding of it because they are living through it, and those of us who came after never have a full understanding of it because the subject is too politicized by the time we learn of it.

What this tells me is that nobody ever really knows what is happening, has happened, or what will happen.

Satan would have aborted Obama

Wow. I never knew Nixon was a Liberal.

An Obama, Mozart, and Newton are aborted everyday in America.

Who cares?

Just think of all the trillions of dollars that have been saved on public assistance for the poor over the years?

Imagine how crowded our prisons would be if abortion were illegal?

My only question is whether or not we should place racial and gender quotas on abortions?

We could call it the Fairness In Abortion Act.

Human knowledge is very weak. We don't know where humans came from. (evolution is for dummies/no evidence of transitional species) We don't know where humans fit into the grand scheme of the universe(can't even see the majority of it) and we don't know what happens to the spirit when we die. Those are concepts that can only be answered by God. Humans are not very smart after all.
But people today love to pretend to be wise. Basically the modern person today is as dumb as a rock.

no evidence of transitional species
