Thank you for giving us a link to another source of silly letters to the editor! s/letterstotheeditor

I love this stuff; Chairman Mao Tse-tung, a favorite of the American left, exterminated 1,176,000 his first year. Remember those crazy Leftists, Kissinger and Nixon meeting their hero? Nixon wore that tie-dye shirt? I have never seen those two kids so high.

Yep, those nutty Leftists!

Isn't remarkable that Nixon and Reagan are no longer considered conservative enough?

Reagan sure, but what's wrong with Nixon? He wasn't a corporate cocksucker, but if someone takes "conservative" to mean free market worship, then I'm not sure how they'd also have an issue with Reagan.

Oh, he is the one who kissed up to Mao, in another discussion, Mao is called the favorite of the Left. Further, he cut deals with the Vietnamese that prolonged the war and killed Americans. You may be too young to remember his wage and price controls.

You remember Nixon? God damn you're fucking old. I kid, I kid. Even so, I don't have much of an issue with the state taking charge of the economy. All economies are command economies in a way. And in terms of cultural issues, China (and pretty much every other Communist/former Communist country) is way to the right of the US.

Yep. Born in '58.

Mao was a mass murderer. Nixon normalized him. Called him all sorts of nice names. He & Kissinger were completely taken in.

Jim, on Vulcan we have a saying, "Only Nixon could go to China."

Overton window always edging towards totalitarian with extremes on the left and right pulling it.
