In reality JFK went into Vietnam with 16,000 troops and part of the JFK machine wants to pretend that he was only escalating because he wasn’t, or what is, is, or whatever.
Now we have a JFK fan boy to push him on us here at FR?
Are you also a fan of his fatal blow to America, his immigration policy? How about unionizing government?
Even as a young newspaper boy, JFK’s seeming incompetence puzzled me.
Drunks are hard to interpret.
I despise liberals, but JFK was an old time conservative democrat, more pro-life and small government that 99% of the RINOs that dominate today’s GOP.
Reagan also started out as a democrat. One of Reagan’s political heroes was Kennedy. And speaking of liberals, one of the biggest liberals of the last 50 years to be president was George W. Bush. He never vetoed the first spending bill till his last year in office and exploited the national debt. He appointed more open homosexuals to his administration than Bill Clinton did to his. He threw away hundreds of millions of dollars fighting AIDs in Africa, when the majority of the money went to warlords. Lastly, he invaded the wrong country when he went into Iraq in retaliation for 9/11, and we’ll be bogged down there until hell freezes over. If Bush had governed like a conservative republican instead of a spend crazy liberal democrat the election of Obama would have never happened.
