JFK was a 1960 lefty, anti-American who wanted to replace the American people and it’s culture with third world foreigners, even deadlier and more incompetent than Jimmy Carter on foreign affairs.

He unionized the federal government and emptied the mental hospitals.

Here are Reagan’s private thoughts on JFK-””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.””

Interesting. That stated, I still bet today’s democratic party would not consider him communistic enough for them.

A little harsh there, and missing some key facts.

JFK:

• Understood and advocated permanent corporate and personal income tax cuts to spur growth in the economy. He was in Dallas to speak at Market Hall on this very subject. His tax cut was passed in his memory, and brought on a economic boom in this country.
• Was a staunch opponent of socialism and communism. He began our involvement in Vietnam to support fighting back Communism's spread in Asia. Would he have played for stalemate like LBJ - we will never know.
• Was pro-life and publicly based his stance on his religious faith.
• Showed national pride and belief in American exceptionalism. Space race, anyone?

He was by no means perfect,but he was by no means a leftist.
