Wow! I’d take JFK over Obama any day of the week.
There’s a more modern face that belongs up there and is much more appropriate IMHO.
That flyer is very well known.
By today’s standards with LBJ, Clinton, and Obummer, Kennedy would be considered a conservative Republican.
President Kennedy, and those close to him, despised Communism.
Heck, the Bishop who married Jacky to him was so adamantly against Communism that he stated that Communism was the anti-Christ.
Not exactly the kind of company that a "pro-Communist President" keeps in his personal life.
back then our freinds wew Cuba, Katanga and Portugal . heh
So 50 years ago the Republicans treated JFK just like they do Obama. A.) Destroys the racist meme. B.) Destroys meme that Republicans have become so partisan, just recently.
This was posted in various Dallas papers the time JFK visited Dallas before being shot. Yeah, for real.
At that time in my life, I was a “Goldwater Conservative” but not a “John Birch Conservative”. There was quite a difference as the Goldwater supporters generally discounted the conspiracy themes of the Birchers. Really, folks, Eisenhower wasn’t a commie.
The 11th Commandment of the Democrat Party (if they believed in the first ten) would be “Thou shalt speak no ill of a Kennedy”.
Cuba is a friend?
Of course, even then the fifth-column MSM, led by Uncle Walter, the king of left-wing clymers, buried any hints of JFK's drug use and insatiable sex orgies with White House staff, Hollywood starlets, and everyday whores.
Sorry. JFK did all those things and more. The boot licking by "conservatives" nowadays it quite disgusting.
JFK is a truly disgusting man. It is not just Mimi Alford’s book “Once Upon a Secret” that led to the quote “JFK, Monster,” it is his sharing a mistress with the Mafia, of turning the White House into a whore house, etc. The only nice thing I can think to say about him is that he was much better than Obama.
That was an ADVERTISEMENT posted as a protest to the JFK administration policies. It was in the Dallas Times on the morning of November 22, 1963. The Warren Commission Report even makes note of it as evidence of a severe anti-Dem attitude in the DFW region at the time.
History?
“(Ben Bradlee — JFK told me that “he was all for people’s solving their problems by abortion”.”
Ronald Reagan labelled JFK a “Marxist” in 1960 in a letter to the vice president, offering his services to help defeat JFK.
“”I do not include Kennedy’s acceptance speech because beneath the generalities I heard a frightening call to arms. Unfortunately he is a powerful speaker with an appeal to the emotions. He leaves little doubt that his idea of the “challenging new world” is one in which the Federal Govt. will grow bigger & do more and of course spend more. I know there must be some short sighted people in the Republican Party who will advise that the Republicans should try to “out liberal” him. In my opinion this would be fatal.””

“One last thought,— shouldn’t some one tag Mr. Kennedy’s bold new imaginative program with it’s proper age? Under the tousled boyish hair cut it is still old Karl Marx—first launched a century ago. There is nothing new in the idea of a Govt. being Big Brother to us all. Hitler called his “State Socialism” and way before him it was “benevolent monarchy.”
From unionizing government, to Vietnam, to the 1965 Immigration Act, even the homeless, JFK was the end of us.
“However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Boston’s WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s. In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedy’s blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960. In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin. After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFK’s legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, “I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies.” Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.”
At least JFK liked women, as opposed to the current White Hut occupant.
