In 1608, a judge in Calvin's Case described anyone born in England as having a "bond of faith and obedience" to the King. It was never about the parents. And it was never about anything really other than place, contrary to Wurman and Barnett. I'll beat this drum until June.

If you're disappointed in Nixon having failed to actually get tough on crime, it might help to know that he had been encouraged to crack down by the very liberals who were responsible for Watergate so that he would be even more resented by the young kids and the hippies.

@realmattcloud Who cares? Tell us, dear Matt, how George H. W. Bush did Kennedy in. That's the burning question of the hour.

@realmattcloud Did I say it happened? Do you interpret "genuine effort" with "successful effort"?

@realmattcloud You don't know the playbook, Matt. You're a spectator who thinks he's an insider.

@PincherMartin8 Weren't you complaining an hour ago that there was a slim chance to reverse the Great Society in the early 80s but that was it? x.com/PincherMartin8…

@realmattcloud I think the early Reagan years saw a genuine movement to try and repeal parts of the Great Society, but it was hampered by a Congress which didn't want to revisit those policies and by a president whose executive vigor didn't match his ideological fervor.

@realmattcloud And you just proved that in this case of "law and order" by not proving it. In other words, your ideology that liberals run the world is based on ... nothing.

@realmattcloud What has this got to do with Nixon 1) understanding that crime was a growing problem, 2) running in 1968 on the promise to fix that problem, and 3) trying to do something about the problem once in office? Where in that sequence do liberals matter?

@PincherMartin8 This is an entirely mainstream conception, you can be comforted in knowing. No conspiracy theory here.
