"...What you can do for your country."

This is a personal, unabashed appeal for voters to cross party lines, if need be, and rise to the inspired words in JFK's 1960 Inaugural Address: "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country." Unfortunately, there appears to be no shortage of people concerned about what the country can do for them and a paucity of those who would endeavor to do what is good for the country -- which defines the current worrisome condition of the body politic....

October 19, 2012 '...What you can do for your country.' Andy Logar

We are approaching the most important election of our lifetimes in which we can either choose the path to nanny-state socialism, promoted by Barack Obama and the Democrat party -- their paradigm being European socialism, now gasping for life -- or a return to a balanced, center-line, smaller, less intrusive government and free market capitalism that the GOP supports -- which, even with all its warts, built the most powerful nation on the planet, our multiplicity of social programs notwithstanding. As the election draws near we find ourselves divided and polarized as never before, primarily because of the Obama re-election campaign's aggressive and unprincipled two-pronged attack designed to secure an Obama second term.

One prong has been to systematically degrade Mitt Romney's image with a deluge of lies and distortions impugning his character, motivations, and achievements - no easy thing to do because the man has an impeccable record as an entrepreneur and a private life and associations beyond reproach. The other prong has been a cynical, Machiavellian program of identifying, selecting, and pandering to special interest groups:

Gays, by repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell, by declaring support of Gay Marriage and by an executive order to not enforce the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), thus thumbing his nose at a national law passed by Congress and signed by Clinton; Hispanic voters by an executive order staying deportation of young illegal Hispanics; feminists by endorsing the HHS edict that Catholic institutions provide free contraception services to women while portraying Republicans who object to the blatant First Amendment infringement as anti-women; the teachers unions, the UAW, IAM, et al; college students regarding student loans ....PLEASE SEE AMERICAN THINKER:

Morons... probably never read JFK’s full inauguration address.

You don’t get to “ask not....” without first going through:

“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
This much we pledge—and more....”

” Finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, ...
We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed....”
