In case you were asleep, we’ve already lost the Constitution, so you no longer need to fear that.
At this point all that’s left is trying to PREVENT this country from acquiring 30 MILLION new Democrat voters. The GOPe and the Democrats COULD CARE LESS about preventing this.
Once that problem is dispatched, we can, hopefully, start trying to get back to Constitutional principles. It is FUTILE to think that all the problems can be solved all at once.
Kennedy was a big proponent of the CIA and was using them in Cuba and Southeast Asia. Too much so since he left them with tasks better suited to the military.
He couldn’t have been farther from the nonsense claims in this article.
Not until 1976.
Yeah, he's not in the establishment's pocket, like Rubio.
He holds no allegiance to anyone, including to the Constitution.
Trump is in it for Trump.
He'll say what he needs to say to win, then do what he wants.
The fact that his supporters so easily dismiss his 60 years of liberalism and seize on his few months of conservative platitudes scares the hell out of me.
It is hard to deal with that a nobody shot JFK instead of Castro or the Mafia. The Mafia theory does sound the best among the stories I don’t believe.
You are correct.
I talk to complete strangers and always present the conservative argument to them in a way that they can understand which is on a personal level. They can’t see the big picture but they can see the personal side of the picture. It can and must be done on a non confrontational, appealing way.
Oh spare me. JFK was about as much threat to the establishment as I am.
You may not be aware of this, but there is a Constitutionalist already in this race.
No, not JFK. It was the Democrat machine in Cook County. I believe to this day JFK was an 'honorable' man.
Were he to run today, in the climate we now have, he would be the 'Trump'.
I was a freshman in high school when JFK was shot. I’ve always looked back on that horrible day as the day America lost her innocence and everything changed for the worse. Our great hope was slaughtered.
BTW my parents fought about who to vote for. My father was mad at my mother for voting for “that Catholic”.
At least four lies in the set-up. No need to read any further:
JFK had no intention of "shutting down the military industrial complex." He campaigned on a claim that more, NOT less, defense spending was needed, and that there was a "missile gap" between the US and Russia which he intended to close.
JFK didn't turn on the CIA until after the Bay of Pigs fiasco -- which was largely his fault. The truth is that he and his brother were obsessed with spy operations, and thought they could accomplish anything. He got a very sobering lesson in Cuba.
Wanted nothing to do with the killing fields of Southeast Asia? Please be serious. JFK made further commitments in Vietnam despite an explicit warning by Eisenhower not to do so.
Warned against "Secret Societies?" The Societies he was talking about were communist societies, and the speech is about the distinction between open societies like ours and totalitarian states. It didn't have anything to do with Trilateralists, Illuminati, Bilderbergers, or any other kookberger nonsense.
Please buy a clue.
Might just be the best book ever written about the political and Pentagon failures that led to disaster in Vietnam.
What do you think of the two ineligible candidates running and their respect for the Constitution.
He was an old line pro American Democrat, the last of whom were Joe Lieberman and Sam Nunn, not that I’d have voted for them either. I guess Reagan was a RINO to the Trump people.
George HW wasn’t head of CIA until 1976
Succint, lucid, elegant.
The first line of the article is an exemplar of mendacity that would shame even a Clinton.
Johnson must have left the CIA boys off-leash. My Dad talked about a spook admirng a Type 56 Chinese carbine he took from a VC and wanted to trade his issue Brwning HiPower. Since the VC had learned to count to 7 (his Colt) he made the trade and surprised the other sde the next trip out. The Brownings in my gun safe now.
He said he never figured what the agency was doing, they just came and went.
