Learning from History: In 1974, America was confronted with a rascal in the White House by the name of Richard M. Nixon. Unfortunately, Nixon was a despicable crook. But in 1974, the Republican Party was blessed to have a few leaders with cajoles and a passion for America. Those noble Republicans walked into the White House at an appropriate time and let Nixon know that his time had elapsed and that, in the interests of the nation and himself, it was time to go. To his credit, Richard M. Nixon did the honorable thing by resigning the presidency. On August 9, 1974, President Nixon boarded an Air Force helicopter on the lawn of the White House and made his way home to California. America was grateful for the fact that our "national nightmare was over" and the healing process began immediately!Today's challenge: America needs three or four Democrats with cajoles to deliver a Nixon-like message to Barack Obama. Namely, “Mr. President, Your Helicopter is Ready!" By leaving now, Mr. Obama can accomplish the most noble and patriotic act of his presidency. And America can begin healing.

John W. Lillpop is a recovering liberal. “Clean and sober” since 1992 when last he voted for a Democrat. For years, John lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, the very liberal sanctuary city which protects, rather than prosecutes, certain favored criminals. John escaped the Bay Area in May and now lives in Pine Grove California where conservative values are still in vogue.
