Richard Nixon: a swell guy
Posted by on Friday, May 28, 2004 at 12:47 pm

President Nixon’s greatest hits:

“You know what happened to the Greeks? Homosexuality destroyed them. Sure, Aristotle was a homo, we all know that, so was Socrates. … Do you know what happened to the Romans? The last six Roman emperors were fags.”

“You see: homosexuality, dope, immorality in general–these are the enemies of strong societies. That’s why the communists and the left-wingers are pushing the stuff; they’re trying to destroy us.”

“I have the greatest affection for [blacks], but I know they’re not going to make it for 500 years. They aren’t. You know it, too. The Mexicans are a different cup of tea. They have a heritage. At the present time they steal, they’re dishonest, but they do have some concept of family life. They don’t live like a bunch of dogs, which the Negroes do live like.”

(To Kissinger) “You’re so G-ddamned concerned about the civilians, and I don’t give a damn. I don’t care.”

And finally, my personal favorite: “You know, it’s a funny thing, every one of the bastards that are out for legalizing marijuana is Jewish. What the Christ is the matter with the Jews, Bob? What is the matter with them? I suppose it is because most of them are psychiatrists.”

  1. Andrew Says:

    Nixon would have made a great stand-up comedian; his ability to speak to a darkly interpreted version of the truth with such politically incorrect clarity is just classic. He’d probably be even funnier loaded up on alkayhol.

  2. Brendan Says:

    “What the Christ is the matter with the Jews, Bob?” I just love that. To say nothing of the psychiatrist line. LOL.

    Some of this stuff goes a bit beyond “politically incorrect,” though.

  4. Joe Loy Says:

    Andrew, what makes you think he WASN’T plastered during these sagacious pronouncements? That’s probably why they’re rather Mellower than his usual / WAW HAW HAW :)

  5. Andrew Says:

    Sure, it’s definitely racist, but then so are most comedians (well, black comedians at least, but there are others).

    The first two statements, about “fags” and lefties pushing immorality and communism on us, are definitely kind of JBS-or-worse reactionary-ish, but it’s a line of argument you’ll find in churches all over this great land. It’s definitely an extreme, straight-laced “conservative” viewpoint, and there are plenty who believe some shade of it. Usually you hear this kind of thinking from a stodgy old-grandpa-type, but I have read some pretty insightful and intellectually forceful arguments along these lines, by Robert Bork and a few others. You might even categorize some of David Horowitz’s stuff as being along these lines.

    The third paragraph is spoken in an extremely demeaning way but is nevertheless mostly true. Starting in the ’60s, black families totally imploded. Thirty years later, 2/3 of black kids have never had a relationship with their biological father, black males disproportionately end up in jail, and black women disproportionately end up as welfare moms (although welfare reform has helped improve that situation). Blacks also have high rates of teenage pregnancy, abortion, and STDs (if you discount gays’ STD rates for each of the ethnic communities). Mexicans, in contrast, generally follow the typical immigrant pattern that we’ve witnessed throughout our history. The comments about them stealing and being dishonest is more due to the fact that as immigrants, they make up the poorer segments of society and thus get caught up in those kinds of crimes more often. The same was probably true of Italians, Poles, and the Irish when they first came across and before they were recognized as equals to or members of the “native” population.

    The fourth paragraph is just so amusingly twisted Machiavellian, I love it.

    The last one is, sadly, mostly true, too. Jews disproportionately took up communism, lefty-liberalism, and academic disciplines (especially the social sciences). Read some David Horowitz. Or better yet, read some Orthodox/religious Jewish commentary on secular Jewish culture. It’s kind of funny how these kinds of criticism are acceptable coming from the Orthodox, but if Nixon says it, he’s an anti-Semite, when in reality he didn’t hate Jews per se, he hated left-wingers, who happened to be disproportionately Jewish. It is a very slippery slope though, as we’re seeing today with those who fume against Israelis and Zionism slipping into hatred of Jews in general.

    Overall, these quotes disturb me not for their content, which is unsurprising to me, but more because they reflect a very conspiratorial state of mind. Never mind the racist and politically incorrect language; I’ve heard worse from lots of comedians, and even just friends (of various ethnicities) joking around. What stands out here is that obviously Nixon tended to assign people into groups and give them stereotypes, which is not wrong in and of itself and is something we all do to some extent, but you can tell by what he says that the line between individual and group has deteriorated so sharply, his mind had recessed into near madness.

    The other thing that weirds me out about Nixon is he was obviously a typical paleo-conservative in his ideology, almost extremely so, but politically he was so pragmatic that he ended up adopting positions and appointing judges that left him the legacy of a conciliatory moderate. I’m thinking here of detente, opening diplomatic relations with communist China, nuclear talks with the Soviets, price controls, withdrawal from Vietnam, creation of regulatory agencies like the EPA, and the list goes on. Yet, at the same time, the enmity Nixon had for his political and ideological opponents was possibly surpassed only by their hatred of him. Very ironic. Not to mention he was re-elected in a landslide, one of the biggest (if not the biggest) landslides in American presidential electoral history, yet was forced to resign in the wake of Watergate. Quite a strange legacy, indeed.

  6. Joe Loy Says:

    Indeed.

    Among the Presidents, Nixon was a unique piece of work. Thank God.

    From the linked story -

    “Can we tell them ‘no?’ When I talked to the president, he was loaded.”
    —Henry Kissinger to his aide in October 1973 when British Prime Minister Edward Heath’s office tried to set up a telephone call with Nixon about the Arab-Israeli war

    Concerning which, the Red Russkies were hinting they might have to Go In to save the Egyptian army from destruction by the IDF, Nixon was raising our Nuke alert levels in reply, and just generally speaking the Game was Afoot & a Bad Business brewing…Remember “Dr. Strangelove”, President on the Hotline to the bibulous Premier Kissov, trying to explain about the errant B-52s & “the Bomb, Dimitri”? … :)…

    Look here now Dickie old chap, you’ll recall that from time to time we’ve chatted about the War…OH no no scarcely, not the um, the chippie, no not at all…hm? well yes I know Dickie, yes people do get drunk and chase girls but…yes well of course it’s better than taking drugs like the Negroes but now about this matter of the War, Dickie…the bloody WOG AND JEW WAR RICHARD!!, good heavens get a grip on yourself man…

    :)

    re Electoral landslides -

    1936 - FDR 523, Alf Landon 8 [as Maine goes, so goes Vermont ;]

    1972 - Nixon 520, McGovern 17

    1984 - Reagan 525, Mondale 13

    (1964, no Comparison: LBJ 486, Goldwater 52. A veritable Mandate for muh man Barry. :)

  7. Doc Says:

    You know, he really did have a plan to end the war. It wasn’t a plan to WIN the war, but he did get us out of Viet Nam. Nixon was a piece of work. Sadly, my only Nixon impersonations are of Dan Akroyd doing Nixon. “Memoirs, by Richard, Milhouse, Nixon. Price $19.95.”

    But only Nixon could go to China. Now, I can.

    Prescripoin Drugs cost those without Insurance plans in the USA a fortune! Some states like Illinois, & Wisconson are making it legal for their residents to be able to get Prescription Drugs from Canada, at greatly reduced prices from pharmacies like Candian Pharmacies. Ofcourse the USA FDA is opposed to this, saying that the Drugs may not be up to the high FDA quality standards.Health Canada oversees the safety of drugs, and is roughly the equivalent of the FDA. People visit Canada and buy over the counter medications every day. Prescription drugs are no different. Meaning, they’re perfectly safe from everything I can find on the subject (as well as my sister’s family, who lives in Toronto). If you want to order from Canada, then it’s a buyer beware market. There are internet sites that will happily rip you off. So, please use a registered pharmacy for your medications like for example Candian Pharmacies.
