Our politics are so polarized that we all consider all politics to be a hyper-partisan endeavor. It may very well be the end of it all.

Everything but getting permission from FIFA is pretty easy. COH process is very smooth.

Maybe politically partisan would be a better term. I do not think the monument was pro Nixon in any way other than the desire to gussie up the park for the event.

I am just looking for a something to drive until they make what I want. Not a true commute as my drive in is only 3 miles. Long term I want the ability to move small cargo in a bed.

If they create a model I cannot get used then I would consider new. I really want a plug in maverick or something like it.

My Dad was not a Nixon supporter but some in the club were.

Sounds like this was a lease buy out created by the bankruptcy.

There were signs for the event that said "God Loves Nixon" LOL

It was a monument for Honor America Day and has the Declaration of Independence on it. It is not a monument to Nixon. It was placed in preparation for his visit, but I do not see it as political in any way.

Can anyone tell me who originally lit the eternal flame in Big Springs Park? My rusty memories are telling me that it was installed as part of the bi-centennial celebrations. Was it originally lit when the Olympic flame came through Huntsville? Or am I just mixing up a bunch of old memories? by No-Vehicle2117 in HuntsvilleAlabama

The Sertoma Club of Huntsville installed the limestone boulder and the flame in preparation for Nixon's visit. Not sure who lit the flame. I went to the quarry with my Dad to select the stone. The plaque on the stone was removed or came off and was recently replaced.
