President Barack Hussein Obama through his Change and Hope campaign, attempted to portray himself as the New Kennedy. However with his nasty attacks on Fox News, the US. Chamber of Commerce and Conservative Critics, he hardly is pushing hope. If there is a President Obama resembles, it is Richard Nixon. Nixon had an enemies list and was a ruthless politician. He attacked his enemies without mercy and was arrogant.
In his book Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America, historian Rick Perlstein argues the seeds of today’s polarized politics were sown during the 1960s and 1970s. He traces the fault lines of contemporary controversies such as marriage, abortion, the environment, the role of government and even the very terms of our national self-image, back to this earlier period.
President Nixon stepped into those stormy times and helped define a language of politics still used today–a “silent majority” of middle-class, conservative-leaning, middle-American “people of faith,” versus a more cosmopolitan, secular, and liberal-leaning “live and let live” crowd.
Perlstein’s formulation may be oversimplified, but President Barack Obama pledged to end it. He promised “change” and to stop the polarized politics of the past. He asserted America was on the brink of death by division. We needed to come together. But now President Obama stands at the edge of the same abyss. And many believe he has fallen into the same swamp of bitterness and polarization he promised to end. Recent poll trends support this conclusion.
Read the rest.
Richard Nixon and Obama have other things in common, both were men of the Left. Nixon was a Progressive Republican. He implemented Price Controls, Environmental Regulations and Affirmative Action. Obama is following down the same path with his Progressive Economics policy of Control. The result of Nixon’s policies was Inflation for a whole decade. Obama’s policies of massive spending will head down that same road.
John Kennedy on the other hand lowered taxes and Built up the Military. JFK also stood up to our enemies and didn’t allow the Soviets to put missiles in Cuba. Obama wants to raise taxes and is weakening the military by his indecision on the Afghan Troop requests. JFK was a Conservative Democrat by any standards.
Barack Hussein Obama you are not the new John F. Kennedy, you are the new Richard Nixon!
Update: Just to clarify things, I am not stating that Obama and Nixon are exactly alike. Nixon was a Patriot and a supporter if Israel. Obama is a Transnationalist and hates Israel. I am comparing Obama’s and Nixon’s Leftist polices. I am also highlighting the fact that Obama like Nixon has an enemies list and is a nasty person. Both Nixon and Obama’s economic policies are disastrous That is what I am comparing.
In summary, Obama’s policies and personality are more like Nixon than Kennedy.
Update II: Another thing to clarify, Obama and Nixon had totally different foreign polcies. Nixon didn’t back-stab allies, while Obama does.
B. Hussein, you are no Jack Kennedy.
Personally I don’t like the comparison. I get where your coming from, but what ever Nixon was, and with all his faults, he was VERY EXPERIENCED, and had a keen sense of history. And again with all his faults, Nixon LOVED AMERICA.

I’d take Jack Kennedy over the Bamster any day. As someone posted the other day, Kennedy would be a right wing extremist if he were around today.
Obama raises his arms and says ‘I am not a Muslim.’ and “I am not a citizen of Kenya”

With you.Remembering the Nixon years very well and the Watergate hearings.Nixon was dealt with according to our Constitution.Not once did I fear for my country then as I do now. Also,it was Nixons intervention in 1973 which saved Israel.

Consider this when you head to the polls on Tuesday.

It would be interesting to see if Obama shakes hands the same way Nixon is doing there. His pose is very defensive (for obvious reasons).
Of course that would assume Obama would deign to let the commoners touch his person. After all, he’s the King of America now.
re: #2 by Nevergiveup
Nixon did love America, but still he was a Leftwing republican. He also was paranoid and had an enemies list.
I am not comparing Nixon’s Patriotism to Obama’s Tansnationalism.
Just pointing out that Obama is more like Nixon than he is JFK.
I will update the post accordingly.
The Clintons also had an enemies list and used private investigators to get dirt on their opponents.
Charles Colson was (rightly) send to prison for having two unauthorized FBI files on his desk. Over 300 of such files were “found” in the private quarters at the Clinton WH. But the media didn’t whip up hysteria about it, so it was no big deal.
President Nixon was a noble, open, and magnanimous man compared to the Chicago Prickly Pear.

Say what you will about Tricky Dick, he was a staunch anti-communist. Obama on the other hand, IS a communist sympathiser, if not an actual commie, God help us!
Nixon’s enemies list, by and large, were the same “nattering nabobs of negativism” (in the words of his VEEP, Spiro Agnew) in the press that pulled down Bush and are demonizing Sarah Palin.

re: #42 by jeppo
Nixon created teh EPA, Affirmative action and instituted Price Controls. Those are Leftwing policies.
Yes Nixonw as better than the alternatives and I probably would of voted for him. That said, Obama’s policies are similar to Nixon’s.
Don’t forget Nixon wanted Healthcare reform also.
Obama is closer to Nixon than he was to JFK.
That said Nixon’s and Obama’s foreign policies are totally different.
What is saving us is the utter incompetance of the Left. Even with Obama as President, even with the House and Senate, Obama can’t get anything through Congress. He is flailing and failing. It is delicious…
Nixon actually could have been a great president.
His opening of China I thought was brilliat & he also took away the sanctuaries in viet Nam , at least for a while.
Sadly he was too flawed . He was gripped with paranoia & saw enemies everywhere. the Watergare cover up is what technically did him in, but really it was failure to rise above pettiness.

re: #33 by Rodan
Is that you final answer? …jk
When I decided to consider my present job I was asked this. Which is more important, honor or loyalty, and why?
Of course the right answer is honor.
Nixon, beyond all his quirks was an honorable man and his resignation demonstrates that his honor outweighed his loyalty to those who served him.
Compare that virtue to those who succeeded him on the left as your comparison equates. Ford, what the heck, we can leave that one behind. Reagan, Bush (modern glory years fo the US with the exception of George 1 backtracking on taxes) and then we get to Clinton. Now here was one who had no problem with throwing out his honor to maintain power. His loyalty was to himself and Cackle and honor was thrown under the bus along with those who fell on the sword whether they liked it or not.
B. Hussein is no Nixon. It he was he would admit his commie leanings from honor. But he doesn’t do that. His loyalty to totalitarianism outweighs the honor to admit who he is.

Their economic policies are similar. Nixon was a Progressive Republican. he declared himself a Keynesian.
As for honor, I’ll give Nixon that. Only Reagan had honor, The Bushes, Clinton, Carter and Obama had none.
My point of the thread that Obama is not JFK. He is closer to a Nixon type.

re: #45 by snork
Meh, you can eat ddt without any ill effects. A troll would probably love the stuff.
Thing is, teddy roosevelt was a leftist, and a progressive as Rodan likes to call them. He was all for increasing government interference in personal lives, regulation of the economy by the sstate and increasing teh size of the federal government. The fact that he was, in the modern parlance, a warhawk simply means that he had a brain about him when it came to foreign policy. And, to be fair, back then you still had to be fairly conservative eevn fyou were trying to push leftist policies in the US. You couldn’t call for the total control of every aspect of live by the state, for instance. You’d start a revolution if you did, and not the one you were after. But, on the other hand, his policies were distinctly “progressive” in a number of areas inasmuch as he favoured stronger government regulation of business and personal life, increased taxes and liked to limit the uses of land by government diktat. Now one coud argue that the national parks are a prime example of good intentions. The problem is that, once they became federally administered, they were also mismanaged. The wildfires in California happen with annoying regularity because of federal mandates that prevent people living with areas designated as protected – using the same laws that Roosevelt first put in place for this purpose – from clearing brushy and undergrowth with a view to prevent fires. This is both federal and state intervention to prevent people from doing what is in their own best interests, and it stems from FDR’s implementation of a law that was designed to progressively increase the role of government in everyday life.
And that’s why they’re called progressives, and why FDR could be rightly called a leftist by today’s standards.
Of course the fact that he was a member of the “progressive party” might also have something to do with it. A party that promoted “rational” planning and “scientific” management for every phase of society, called for the substitution of laissez-faire capitalism with state interventionism and the implementation of, in essence, absolute control over every aspect of daily life in order to increase “efficiency”.
The new deal, price controls, a ban on the ownership of gold, restrictions on hiring practices…
Yeah I’d say he was a bit of a hippie, actually. He was just early.

The Torah, of course, specifically forbids sacred prostitution in Deuteronomy, and it is likely, based on the context, that the Levitical prohibitions against same-sex couplings which get so many people bent out of shape were actually aimed, not at homosexual acts per se, but at participation in the homosexual orgies which were part of the festival celebrations of certain of these cults.

His faith went only as far in belief that he could mock. It was not from the heart, but was keyed off another post. If he really believed in what he wrote it would have been more sincere and vicious.

re: #130 by spacejesus
Space,
Are you spiritual or religious?
I myself find that I have a more personal spiritual relationship with Jesus.
I find religion to be basically man made rules for spirituality.
Not that I mind that. I am Catholic and find the rituals to be comforting.
I am interested in your thoughts on this.
BTW if you capitalized the J in Jesus it would be more respectful…just a thought.
re: #136 by spacejesus
Not like you’d actually know about posting logical statements…
If you’re so devout, how do you rationalise your name with “thou shalt not take the name of the lord they god in vain”? It doesn’t just refer to profanity, you know.
Nixon, or Kissinger by proxy, may have been a supporter of Israel but the man himself was an anti-Semitic asshole.

Nah, I don’t think anyone, joking aside, would say that there aren’t good/moral lawyers or that you don’t want a good/competent one on your side when you need one.
But the immoral lawyers sure do screw up society worse than other professions. An immoral plumber will overcharge you a few hundred bucks, or not finish his job, and eventually end up with no buisiness. An immoral lawyer can get a rapist free or ruin someone financially while setting up a terrible new preccident.

re: #136 by spacejesus
I see that your LGF karma is -937. Congratulations! Anyone that can aggravate the Johnson Cultists to that extent is alright by me.
In comparison, my karma was only a paltry -708. But if you really want to make your mark over there, then you should should aim to top (bottom?) the former LGFer Cbinflux, statistically speaking the most hated lizard in LGF history, with a karma of -1489. And of course you’ll eventually have to get yourself banned (that won’t be hard at all).

Huh? You’re making an exhibit of yourself and you’ve properly admitted it. So? What’s the problem?
re: #153 by buzzsawmonkey
That’s why I was careful to make the distinction between Nixon’s policies and Nixon’s character.
I expect that anti-Semitic comments in the Oval Office are not limited to Nixon and Truman.Then again, pragmatists (Nixon and Truman were nothing if not pragmatic) often act in ways that belie their true convictions.
re: #159 by buzzsawmonkey
Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. After she had been defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust. When she carried on her prostitution openly and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister. Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.

Rather than a baseless accusation, I think that is was an assumption based on the fact that lgf is an anti-creationist blog and so it would be normal to assume that it was being used as mocking.

re: #170 by fultonchain
The distinction between personal belief and public action—something which the rudderless do not understand—is one of the reasons that a certain person’s jihad against “creationism” started to pall very rapidly.
Another difference between Nixon and Obama is there intelligence levels. Nixon was intellectually brilliant, Obama seems at best to be mediocre in the brains department. Which may eventually be our salvation.

re: #165 by spacejesus
It’s not baseless, really. You can make up a counter-intuitive reason why it isn’t, but to anyone seeing that your name is “spacejesus” without the somewhat silly explanation it comes across as mockery. As you claiming to speak for the Christian God and at the same time equating him with martians or something.
Maybe that’s okay with you, that what to you supposedly is reverential appears profane to most. If you wanted to not be misinterpreted, you’d change it.

Not only will he not make a living—the ACLU relies on volunteer labor to a very large extent—but he will soon discover, if he has any brains, that the ACLU is largely involved in works of astonishing stupidity.
I had the starry-eyed belief in the rightness of the ACLU back when I was in lawschool, and worked with it as part of my school’s “clinical program” (aka “learn as you don’t earn”). I discovered that the office was bending most of its efforts towards the advancement of “prisoner’s rights,” which in practice means ensuring that triple axe murderers are not deprived of their color TV privileges for shanking the guy in the next cell.
Kinda takes the bloom off of “rights law” in short order.

I disagree with the whole premise of this comparison. It presumes that Nixon was the bad guy that Dan Rather and the Lib media says that he was. Anything that Nixon ever did the donks have done in spades.
A person is a fool if they actuallty believed the Obama as healer schtick. He was a healer allright but for libz only. As he reminded the GOP afterall… he won. Obama’s whole campaign was a non stop attack on Bush (who wasn’t even running) and so-called “tax cuts for the rich.”
The Kennedys coddled commies like Alger Hiss. JFK has one thing in common with Obammie. They’re both grossly over-rated, and their mythos is created by the lib press.

I grew up in Queens and while my dad was white collar (but living blue, he had, shall we say… cash flow issues) the bulk of my friends fathers were union guys. Socially they were about the most conservative people you can imagine.
Abortion wasn’t unheard of but it was certainly unheard. Jews? The only Jews these guys saw were behind the counter at the deli or the Hassid they bought a cheap rock from in Manhattan (the city, we called it). Education? Forget it, they did just fine without one and were the first to let you know. Immigration? Fuckers are just trying to steal our jobs (half these guys were second generation).
Archie was never conservative, he was just a bigot. Just like everyone else in circa 1970 Astoria.
re: #136 by spacejesus
While I am relevantly certain that you are conversant in gibbon behavior, I find the lack of veracity in your reference to logic amusing.
Logic actually has a set of clearly defined rules which preclude the use of fallacies as empirical evidence to support a supposition.
The prima fascia declaration of an ad hominem logic fallacy immediately followed by multiple other fallacies (Argument from fallacy: Bare assertion fallacy: Petitio principii: ) suggests that rather than the supposition having any basis in fact, the converse is actual true.
re: #267 by buzzsawmonkey
New Yorkers have a hard time conceiving how people outside of New York live. I think that’s why that was sited in Queens. I always thought that itself was kind of strange. If you’re going to stereotype a mindless conservative doofus, that’s not a very credible way to do it.
I think it would have been very hard for Leer to work outside of that box, though. Just no conception.
OTOH, movies like Deliverance are also stupid because they let their stereotypical fantasies get away from them.
