any kind words from the right.
The further we move from 1963, the more I like JFK.
Where Reagan was trained in stand-up, Kennedy was a natural. As much as my family was Anti-Kennedy, the guy would make us laugh.
The guy was no Liberal, in today’s sense of the word.
If he ran today, he would get my vote...
The left always ignores the fact that Bobby Kennedy happily joined Joe McCarthy in going after communists.
The left of today would probably treat both brothers about as well as they treat Sarah Palin.
What revisionist nonsense, about such a depraved man.
Reagan of that era, in a personal letter to the vice-president asked to campaign for the republican and register republican, to counter what Reagan labelled a Marxist, in the letter.
REAGAN:
“”No Republican, no matter how liberal, is going to woo a Democratic vote; but a Republican bucking the giveaway trend might re-create some voters who have been staying home.
One last thought - shouldn’t someone tag Mr. Kennedy’s bold new imaginative program with its proper age? Under the tousled boyish haircut is still old Karl Marx - first launched a century ago. There is nothing new in the idea of a Government being Big Brother to us all. Hitler called his ‘State Socialism’ and way before him it was ‘benevolent monarchy.’””
In today's sense of the word he was not.
But he had weak character and and thus led us into trouble during the Cold War.
In general liberals are adolescents. Just look at John Kerry trying to act like an adult in Syria and failing.
Right you are. There is not a "Kennedy Democrat" among the Socialist/Communist Demonrats of today. Kennedy was actually pro-American. There no "Truman Democrats" around either. Today's Dems are among those who condemn Truman and America for being the first to use "the bomb" against those unfortunate Japanese.
