The Nixon of Britain? What is there about jowly dark nervous robot politicians on the ropes that tugs the heartstrings of underdog loving, Frank Capra--bullshit believing Americans?
I...am not a...........what....is...happening...to...the..................order.....?
In fact Nixon was the most progressive president in history if you look at his actual accomplishments. You know...
The Environment
Nixon signed into law the Clean Air Act Extension of 1970, amending the Clean Air Act of 1963 to greater enforce environmental regulations.
Nixon then established the Environmental Protection Agency, streamlining several agencies into one, making it easier to regulate and enforce environmental laws.
The Economy
Nixon established the "New Federalism" system, which cut the red tape by taking money and power away from the federal government and directed it straight to the states, making program funding more efficient.
Nixon increased federal funds for food aid and public assistance programs while decreasing the military budget significantly.
Nixon presented the only balanced budget between the years of 1961 and 1998.
Civil Rights
A Quaker, Nixon felt racism and segregation in the U.S. was a moral outrage. In 1971, he signed the Equal Rights Amendment desegregating public schools.
He asked the Justice Department to bring sex discrimination suits under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and ordered the Labor Department to add sex discrimination provisions to the guidelines for its Office of Federal Contract Compliance.
Foreign Affairs
Nixon opens up relations with the Soviet Union and China.
He becomes the first president to visit the People's Republic of China in February of 1972.
In May of the same year Nixon met with Brezhnev (the Soviet Union's leader) in Moscow. This meeting led to increased trade between the two countries and the signing of two nuclear arms control treaties, SALT (Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty) and ABMT (Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty). These are the first nuclear arms treaties between the Cold War combatants.
You see, your take is based on nothing more than simplistic Limpdickian divisions based on labels or whatever. Further, it's obvious you know nothing of Gordon Brown and his ludicrous tap dance over the past few years. Carry on..

Uh oh. We have another cut-and-paste-without-attribution response by LTSTRN2.
So let's see, goober, you can't refute a single sentence of what I've posted, so....you stand on the corner with your dick in your hand? What's with that? You need help!
