I remember working in the Nixon campaign
( more successfully than when I did so in 1960 [tho rightfully, we won that election] ).
I was an Anti-communist spy for the House Committee on unAmerican Activities.
I was a chapter president of Young Americans for Freedom,
in support of the war against communism and of l'aissez faire free enterprize.
Our heros were Barry Goldwater, William F. Buckley, Jr., Ludwig von Mises, Hugh Hefner and Barbi Benton
So david can we assume you felt as much admiration for Nixon
as you did for Robert Welch or perhaps Joe Pyne?
No. I felt
more admiration for Nixon.
I was active in his campaigns of 1960 and 1968.
I believe that we won them both; we wuz robbed.
He ran as a real conservative; he was inspirational as a conservative candidate.
I met him and Pat Nixon a few times.
He veered to his left, after he assumed office.
He wanted to be a centrist.
Robert Welch 's heart was in the right place
( ya gotta
LOVE an Anti-Red )
but I had some doubts about his logic.
I met him once, at a rally.
His exageration undermined his credibility.
I had some friends in the John Birch Society
who urged me to join, but I did not, tho I intensely admired their motives.
I was very honored to have met Herbert Philbrick a few times.
He signed his book " I Led 3 Lives " for me.
Its been a while since I remembered Joe Pyne.
Thanx for the memories.
I met Joe Franklin a couple of times; ( he bought us meals at his restaurant on Broadway ).
