-—It’s a damn shame that his family smears the great legacy of President John F. Kennedy, -—

That legacy is way more media spin than reality...

The man did love his country, as opposed the the POS in office now...

JFK destroyed this country with his Immigration Act.

Until the late 60's/early 70's, the majority of liberal Democrats were patriotic and anti-communist. There was no doubting the patriotism of Truman, JFK, etc. however much we may disagree with their specific policies.

However, while I don't doubt that JFK was patriotic and well-intentioned (i.e. better than any Democrat and many Republicans today) I have yet to be convinced of his greatness. Seems to me that his alleged greatness was mostly due to media hype bordering on cult of personality - the "Camelot" myth when he was alive, the martyrization after his assassination.

You are probably right about the spin!
Today, I am praying especially hard that next year our nation will celebrate her birthday under the leadership of President Donald Trump!!!
I am literally sick of the current occupant who only feels it is his duty to constantly apologize for the country upon which he has been elected twice to preserve, protect and defend!!!
