<<if a Democrat had tried to go to China Nixon would have called them a commie"

True, hence the Vulcan saying. Nixon didn't have to do this; nobody made him. He deserves credit.
Quit making me defend him. Gives me finger cramps.

Dems wanted to go to China, as I remember, but were prevented from doing so by Nixon. So Nixon went and we give him credit. But for Nixon and other right wigners, the left would have gone long before Nixon went, IMO.

Truer words were never spoken, or some such cliche.
