Heck JFK today would be more conservative than Mitch McConnell.
National Geographic has a new 3-part series on November 22, 1963, and the days that followed. I watched the first episode, and tried to watch the second, but it contained nothing more than the original horse shit that was fed to us 60 years ago. I lost my own innocence, and gullibility once I realized that our own government had taken JFK out.
JFK’s assassination definitely marked the beginning of the 1960s as we know it.
Believing that is what led to the decline in America.
The decline of America? It should be noted that nothing really changed with the murder of John Kennedy. That happened a few years later in 1968 when Bobby Kennedy was murdered by a Palestinian immigrant.
When that happened the politicians news media went berserk! They blamed the NRA, Guns, Pulp Fiction and comic books. Glorifying Violence on TV and violence in movies.
So to smoke off Federal government involvement, toy guns disappeared from toy stores. Pulp fiction books had less lurid covers, Comic books disappeared for a while, new gun laws that did nothing were passed. TV shows, mild even then, were dumbed down to kiddie shows, movies shown on TV were butchered to remove “violence”.
But movies for the big screen got a pass when they said they would “police themselves” with a joke of a ratings system(GMRX)
Once the Hays code for movies was done away with they proceeded to reshoot scenes adding lots of blood, guts. gore, and sex to get the now coveted “R” and “X” ratings.
Now with satellite and cable TV even TV shows have become more violent and sexual oriented.
America’s “Crossing the Rubicon” moment
What actually changed America was the 1962 ruling pushing God out of public life. Almost immediately, things began to change for the worse and fall apart, a trend that continues to this day.
America lost its innocence when JFK died?
What a maudlin piece of Political Left crap!
Kennedy stole the 1960 election from Nixon with massive voter fraud in Chicago and massive voter fraud in LBJ's home state of Texas.
In 1956, Eisenhower and Nixon won Illinois by almost 20%.
In 1956, Eisenhower and Nixon won Texas by 11%.
Sixty-three years later, the GOP has still not figured out how to stop voter fraud.

“he was killed by a madman”
Mockingbird Media is still going strong with the coverup—six decades later.
That is the most important lesson of the assassination.
I was in college when it happened. What people don’t get is that was the beginning of our beginning to “doubt” and “understand” government is not a kindly big brother. (Read Roger Stone’s Book).
JFK was a solid part of the decline, we live in much of his dream world of open borders unionized federal employees, closed-down mental hospitals, affirmative action, and a sordid degraded White House.
“Madman”? Or planned man? A buddy and I just pulled into our HS parking lot from lunch and heard the news. We ran in told classmates and nobody believed us. For about 10 minutes.
...or simply a lone-lunatic?
It seems so to me. Following Kennedy we got that polecat LBJ, massive political upheaval the rest of the decade... Things didn't start to look up again until 1980.
And i don't think Oswald acted alone - the ballistics just don't add up.
Back and to the left.
It pulled the Country left. JFK was a moderate to somewhat Conservative, LBJ was ragging Liberal, and the left was able to step up it’s infiltration. Left, Jfk was a
Oswald although with dubious connections just took it upon himself to pop Kennedy from his perch. Oswald was flamed with pro Castro passion and Kennedy initiated that failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1962.
Also ‘the patsy’ Oswald killed officer JD Tippet as well that fateful day. He was guilty as sin. He just happened to work at the Tx School Depository building and acted upon his murderous plan. No conspiracy with CIA in my opinion just a murderous lefty commie loser who adored Castro. What a loser schmuck.
BKMRK.
Charles Guiteau might have been madman (as well as a “dissatisfied office seeker”).
Oswald (if he even was the assassin) wasn’t.
