Nixon ended the war. My dad hired hippies at the start of summer every year in
Oregon. Many of them were refugees from society believing civilization was
coming to an end. They loved to debate politics with me as a young man. When
they got down on Nixon I would just say he ended the war. It always ended the
debate.

Nixon was intelligent, articulate and knew his shit. He did some positive
things for the USA ...too bad he fucked it up.
Trump is best summed up in one word..

Speaking of John Ford, you remind me of Gerald Ford who said "Our long

more respect for him than for 45.

Somehow I’m reminded of the movie The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Set in
the fading days of the old west with territories becoming states and deciding
who to elect as their representatives. Should it be Jimmy Stewart the
righteous lawyer, or Lee Marvin the outlaw gang leader? The old fashioned idea
that you sent the brightest and best educated person to Washington to represent
you. Hah! Politicians are not held in great esteem today, and we would
probably vote for Liberty Valance. I assume everyone has seen the movie. It’s
an old John Ford western, in fact he shot it in B&W, but it’s a must see. Look
at the cast – Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Lee Marvin, Vera Miles, Andy Devine,
Edmond O’Brien, John Caradine, Lee Van Cleef.
