At least Rockefeller fought for civil rights. LBJ was an outspoken racist and segregationist who only signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act because public opinion supported it and he didn't want to hand Republicans ammunition with which to attack his policies. If Nixon had been elected in 1960, not only would the fight for civil rights been won sooner, but you also would never have had liberal historians and journalists who to this day still schmooze about "Camelot." Do you really think Nixon would have been less aggressive toward the Soviet Union than Kennedy was? Nixon sure seemed to make it look like he would stand up to Khrushchev. Oh, and Bobby Kennedy was his brother's attorney general... talk about nepotism! Don't get me wrong, Kennedy did some good things as President, such as cut taxes, put us into space, and his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis was excellent. As for the gold standard, didn't we get rid of it in the 1930s? I don't want it to return.
What are you smoking? Because I think we all need some...
Nixon, one of the most racist and prejudiced presidents of all time would have pushed Civil Rights faster?! Are you f*****g kidding me??!! And Kennedy handled the missile crisis well??!! He brought us to the brink of nuclear war three times!!!
Nothing personal against you, but you should seriously re-evaluate...
