Nothing particularly earth-shattering on this Nixon tape, at least not compared to other ones. But it gives you an interesting glimpse at how two very powerful men see themselves in relation to the world around them. In particular, you get to learn how they divide the world up into good people and bad people. It's about 20 min long but worth the listen, imo.

That's right. Good Jews are the ones who do not resist attempts to convert them to Christianity. And they are aligned politically with Graham and Nixon. The rest are the synagogue of satan, and they are asking for trouble. I thought everybody knew that...:rolleyes:

Politicians and the religious right deciding that a particular religion is automatically a threat to America - glad that couldn't happen today.
