To state it in the all-american way, "I resemble that remark." nyuck,
nyuck.  It seems unfair to lump Nixon in with the Reagan agenda,
indeed Reagan and Nixon share much in the all wide-swinging american
agenda, but Reagan never tried a freeze and was rarely liable to throw
many export/import doors closed (with the obvious Japanese exception).
Nixon may have spoken with Stalin-esque and China Red #3 dye types,
but never did he go honor Nazi soldiers, to wide public knowledge, at
least.  So, differences indeed exist between Nixon era and Reagan era
political Madison right extremes.  How many oil tankers were smashed
in Nixon's era, and to think it was all Carter's fault that oil prices
rose, right?  Wouldn't want to consider transit work started under the
Nixon great wide-swinging white bearings as a part of that itty bitty
brother blow my station wagging odd and events.  What do such
influences mean to Madison right extremes anywho?  Noveaue reiches?

Butt, seriously (don keys), tightly (elev trains)
