Reagan compared his “hero” (according to your lie) to Karl Marx and Hitler. “ Under the tousled boyish hair cut it is still old Karl Marx”.
While you are promoting the sleazy liberal that so despised America that he sought to replace it’s people and identity (successfully) and claiming that he was a “hero” of Ronald Reagan, and posting a 1981 quote when President Reagan was seeking to use a dead president for politics when speaking to the public as president, just as any politician would after JFK was turned into a martyr by dishonest people like you, let me show you what Reagan really thought.
In a hand written private letter to republican Richard Nixon in 1960, this is what the democrat Ronald Reagan had to say about JFK in regards to his acceptance speech as the democrat nominee. Shortly after the Democratic Party held its Convention in Los Angeles in 1960 where it nominated Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy for President, Ronald Reagan sent the following letter to Vice President Richard Nixon offering his services in the upcoming presidential campaign.
After mocking the “platitudes and generalities” of the other democrat speeches, Reagan gets to the meat of who JFK was.
The hand written letter:
“”I do not include Kennedy’s acceptance speech because beneath the generalities I heard a frightening call to arms. Unfortunately he is a powerful speaker with an appeal to the emotions. He leaves little doubt that his idea of the “challenging new world” is one in which the Federal Govt. will grow bigger & do more and of course spend more. I know there must be some short sighted people in the Republican Party who will advise that the Republicans should try to “out liberal” him. In my opinion this would be fatal.

I am convinced that America is economically conservative and for that reason I think some one should force the Democrats to publish the “retail price” for this great new wave of “public service” they promise. I don’t pose as an infallible pundit but I have a strong feeling that the twenty million non voters in this country just might be conservatives who have cynically concluded the two parties offer no choice between them where fiscal stability is concerned. No Republican no matter how liberal is going to woo a Democratic vote but a Republican bucking the give away trend might re-create some voters who have been staying at home.
One last thought,— shouldn’t some one tag Mr. Kennedy’s bold new imaginative program with it’s proper age? Under the tousled boyish hair cut it is still old Karl Marx—first launched a century ago. There is nothing new in the idea of a Govt. being Big Brother to us all. Hitler called his “State Socialism” and way before him it was “benevolent monarchy.
I apologize for taking so much of your time but I have such a yearning to hear some one come before us and talk specifics instead of generalities. I’m sure the American people do not want the govt. paid services at “any price” and if we collectively can afford “free this & that” they’d like to know it before they buy and not after it is entrenched behind another immovable govt. bureau.
You will be very much in my prayers in the days ahead.
Sincerely,
Ronnie Reagan
I like the way you completely ignore any and all links that have anything good to say about JFK. Sounds like an anger issue to me. Why not reserve your venom to a real life person that is actually destroying this country while you go on a rant against a man who’s been dead 50 years.
By the way JFK was the conservative when he ran against Nixon, who was as liberal as the day is long.
He was a patriot who summoned patriotism from the heart of a sated country. It is a matter of pride to me that so many men and women who were inspired by his bracing vision and moved by his call to "ask not ..." serve now in the White House doing the business of government.
Which is not to say I supported John Kennedy when he ran for president, because I didn't. I was for the other fellow. But you know, it's true: when the battle's over and the ground is cooled, well, it's then that you seethe opposing general's valor.
