There has got to be a national debate as to whether we want to turn this trend around; of course, we'll be labelled racists for raising the issue.
So many things are different that it’s hard to follow the parallel this article is trying to make.
As you say, the demographics have changed considerably. Also, the percentage of people on the dole. Also, the dedication of the media to be a propaganda arm for the Democrats. Not to mention McGovern was a challenger, Obama is an incumbent.
I think this article is grasping at straws to make its point.

Agree. Also, bringing up Nixon is usually a bad idea. Irony is the Watergate break in was completely unnecessary, not were any “dirty tricks”, to win that election. It was completely in the bag. Why cheat or, worse, commit illegal actions in any campaign much less one youve already won? Nixon remains an obsessive boogeyman character for leftists.
You are so right about Watergate. So unnecessary. Also, so minor compared to the history of election-cheating on the Democrat side.
Watergate was a propaganda coup for the left, nothing more.
One more point about Watergate: it’s very possible the whole thing was an entrapment set up by the dems who fed false information to Nixon’s brother about supposed “damning evidence” in the Watergate offices... the dems correctly figuring that the Nixon people were stupid enough to go for the bait.
In the 1972 election...you had a very liberal Nixon (most Big Government programs created under his admin....opening of Communist China) against a very liberal McGovern.
1972 was not an election of right and left....it was an election of left and very left. McGovern scared a lot more people than Nixon did
72 was the election that made the label “ Liberal” so toxic the left still has to run from it . That’s when they put on the mask and began to pretend to be “ moderate” , “ centrist” , and later “ progressive”. To hide their REAL position.
And yet, we sit idly by hoping for a “savior”, just like ‘60/’70 era. The left burned our cities, stoned our police, burned draft cards, thumbed their noses at every sense of law and order, humiliated our troops, denied justice for terrorists and promoted socialism. An we did nothing.
The left today is circumventing every judicial/legislative precedence and those in congress charged with protecting and defending those very principles do nothing. We spend our energies whining to one another on the internet rather than suffer the inconvenience of courage.
Why do we expect the outcome to be any different?
100% correct....I hope he’s enjoying his special room in hell.
What may happen is 1) war with China leads to an explosive increase in American robotics and automation, 2) after the war we no longer need cheap immigrant labor because the robots will work for less, 3) automation will happen in law enforcement leading unfortunately to a police state. No one will be here that shouldn't be here, 4) people inclined to raise children will displace the vain/envious/selfish leftists that are breeding themselves out of existence.
Some of Nixon's accomplishments as president:
Why doesn't the Left consider Nixon a hero? Why doesn't the Left consider Nixon a hero?
I was just having a debate with a very liberal friend about de-funding PBS and they said I should be for taxpayer funding because Nixon did it.
I guess they thought if Nixon did it, I should be all for it.
All I could do was laugh. Your list would have come in handy.

It must be that liberal Nixon list that persuaded Julie to campaign for Obama but most likely “white guilt”. A CA politician named Joe Shell told the truth about Nixon in 1962 long before his presidency.
Nixon, in the 1950 California senate race, defeated Helen Ghahagan Douglas. Nixon accurately labeled her a communist “fellow traveler.”
To this day, the left cannot talk about this race without breaking down into slobbering fits.
Watergate was the payback.
