27. Protests to open up talks with China? Protests to create the EPA?

Give me a fucking break. Nixon was pressured to end Vietnam from the left, not to create the EPA or open up talks with China. Nixon did a lot of things which would be considered very progressive in this day and age, it just shows you how incredibly skewed the political spectrum is nowadays. As convincing as your "Bullshit!" argument is, those are the facts.
