Why JFK could not be a Democrat in todays Democratic Party.

Vanity

[skinndogNN]

I’m tired of hearing the nonsense that the Republican Party has been taking over by the far right, and that the Democratic Party is the “moderate” party. It is simply not true. The Democratic Party is the party that has changed, not Conservatives.

God, Liberty, defense spending, and patriotism is all in JFK's inauguration speech.

Today's Democrats don't talk this way. My point is I miss moderate Democrats.

--------- And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe-the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.

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 to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

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.

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility-I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it-and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country.

With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.
