Nixon was a paranoid freak, obviously, and his Latin American policy leave a lot to be desired, but he also ended the war in Viet Nam, got the country off the gold standard, opened relations with China, presided over forced integrations of schools in the South, and several other policies that we would consider progressive. The modern conservative would wholeheartedly disavow all of these things.
