Though JFK was a Democrat, I don't believe he was a leftist, like today's Democrats are, including Ted.

I agree Sam. Although the world certainly would have viewed him differenlty if he hadn't been shot.

As heartless as this sounds... that funeral with all its pomp and theatrics did a great deal in making the Kennedy reputation.

And this country's media still carries a torch (based now on a rewrite of history) for JFK.

Yeah, it kind of stuns me that we have a whole political party that pushes a philosophy, that if imposed, would mean the destruction of the principles on which our country was founded.

I figure one of the purposes of our constitution is to prevent us from using "democracy" to vote all our rights away. 'Course if you figure it's a "living breathing" document, like the Democrats, you don't have to pay that much attention to it.

I must have got up on the wrong side of bed this am.

Good morning All.
