[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 2121556, member: 3371"] I know what you're thinking. Nixon made a living from being the anti-communist politician publicly. As a member of the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_Un-American_Activities_Committee"]House UnAmerican Activities Committee[/URL], he doggedly pursued Communists like [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alger_Hiss"]Alger Hiss[/URL] wherever they were hiding. 1: And yet, it was Nixon that formally recognized communist China, while throwing our Taiwan allies overboard. He even made a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972_Nixon_visit_to_China"]trip to communist China[/URL] as part of the betrayal and then bragged "only Nixon could have gone to China". 2: On top of that, he is the father of the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Environmental_Protection_Agency"]Environmental Protection Agency[/URL]. 3: Even worse, he instituted [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_controls"]wage and price controls[/URL] that made it illegal for a business to charge higher prices or pay a higher wage to employees. Gold plated medical insurance policies were originally created by businesses to evade those wage and price controls and thereby give a backdoor raise to employees without violating the law. Government price limits on gasoline created the shortages that led to long gasoline lines in the 70's and if price controls and shortages aren't the hallmarks of communism I don't know what is. 4: He abolished the gold standard and gave us the fiat currency that we are stuck with today. So, is Nixon the first communist preznit or only the worst communist preznit? :hithead: [/QUOTE]
