It\u2019s hard for me to describe how much I once loathed Richard Nixon.<\/p>\n
As a college student during the Watergate scandal, I celebrated when he quit on the cusp of impeachment. I firmly believed, along with millions of others, that Nixon was the lowest human being ever elevated to our highest office, and his track record of anti-constitutional crimes would never be surpassed.<\/p>\n
Jeez, were we naive.<\/p>\n
Despite his serial abuses and aberrant behavior \u2014 bugging his own office, ordering the Watergate coverup, ranting on tape about \u201cthe Jews\u201d will stain him for eternity \u2014 when you compare Nixon to the current vile authoritarian, the former looks so good I\u2019m tempted to wallow in nostalgia and give the guy his due.<\/p>\n
Think about it: At least Nixon wasn\u2019t stupider than a slab of cement. At least he wasn\u2019t a useful idiot of the Russians. At least he didn\u2019t send people to storm the Capitol after narrowly losing the 1960 presidential race. When the Supreme Court ruled against him in 1974, forcing him to release the Oval Office tapes, he quickly complied. When fellow Republicans told him there were sufficient House votes for impeachment and it was time to go, he went. He actually went.<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s just for starters. Check out these points of comparison:<\/p>\n
* Unlike he who shall not be named, Nixon didn\u2019t work to destroy the mandate of the Environmental Protection Agency. Quite the contrary. He created the EPA, signed the Clean Water Act, and signed the Endangered Species Act. In 1972, he praised America\u2019s \u201cenvironmental awakening\u201d and said, \u201cthe federal government must provide leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n
* Unlike the current saboteur of NATO, Nixon worked to keep it strong. In 1969, he called NATO \u201cone of the great successes of the postwar world.\u201d He said \u201cthe American commitment to NATO will remain in force, and it will remain strong\u201d because it is \u201cmore than a military alliance,\u201d it \u201crepresents a moral force.\u201d<\/p>\n
* Unlike the current enemy of affordable health care, Nixon repeatedly sought to enact sweeping health reforms \u2014 \u201cto ensure,\u201d he said in 1971, \u201cthat no American family will be prevented from obtaining basic medical care by inability to pay.\u201d Indeed, Nixon\u2019s provisions \u2014 employer-mandated insurance, increased federal subsidies \u2014 were actually more generous than today\u2019s Obamacare. (They failed because Democrats, led by Sen. Ted Kennedy, didn\u2019t think they were liberal enough.)<\/p>\n
* Unlike the current guy\u2019s quest to rig the judiciary for the rich and favored, Nixon created the Legal Services Corporation Act. Today, the LSC \u2014 a federal nonprofit entity \u2014 still provides legal aid to low-income people. When he signed it into law in 1974, he called it a \u201cconstructive way to help (the poor) help themselves,\u201d to \u201cprotect and preserve a basic right for all Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n
* Unlike the current addled warlord, whose ignorant blunderings in Iran will likely accelerate a regional nuclear arms race, Nixon prioritized non-proliferation. He sat down with the Russians to negotiate nuclear arms treaties; for the first time, America and the Soviet Union placed limits on their nuclear weapons arsenals.<\/p>\n
* Unlike the current entitled brat, Nixon didn\u2019t have a racist rich daddy to grease his ascent. He grew up poor with no connections in a rural California dust town. His father had a lemon farm that failed. Notwithstanding Nixon\u2019s abundant character flaws, it\u2019s beyond dispute that he worked his rear off to get to Duke Law and beyond, to wind up in places like the Great Wall of China, forging an historic detente with a communist power.<\/p>\n
I say all this without minimizing the traits so many of us despised \u2014 his lies, his paranoia, his willingness to enlist aides in criminal schemes that landed them in jail. He was ultimately destroyed by his own treachery and taught a generation of Americans to distrust their government. He also ended the draft, championed college loans for the poor, and created the OSHA workplace safety agency. The complexities never cease.<\/p>\n
And as loathsome as he often was, he never inspired eight million Americans to flood the streets against him on a single day in all 50 states. That alone tells the tale.<\/p>\n
Some 30 years ago, I covered an event at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, California. Walking the grounds with a colleague, I said, \u201cHey, isn\u2019t he buried around here somewhere?\u201d My companion said, \u201cYou\u2019re standing on him.\u201d I leapt as if my feet had been scorched. I looked down and, yes, there he was. Today, acknowledging his upside, I owe him a semi-salute.<\/p>\n
