No mention of Reagan, another right-wing extremist president whose lawlessness at the very least matches that of Nixon? How easy it is to brainwash Americans into thinking violent criminals like Reagan are unsurpassed heroes. It's not inconceivable that a similar revision of history could see Bush II lauded in the not-too-distant future, especially now that Americans have been encouraged to unabashedly admit that they think it's okay to slaughter people all over the world so that they can drive whatever they want and as much as they want. When I look at how Americans' opinions of Nixon were manipulated into admiration by the early 90s, the future does not look bright. What?
