I will wrap it up by saying that the legacy of Kennedy may have been style over substance( the lack of many real concrete achievements due to the limited time in office), but there is no denying his influence and impact around the world. On balance, he was a positive influence for America and the advancement of our ideals and hopes. I don't quite understand why it is necessary to try to destroy every vestige of his legacy. Any leader under this kind of scrutiny will not come off very well. It is something that the Dems and the PC types are doing now to discredit our founding fathers. Hell some school districts are changing the names of schools named after Washington and Jefferson because they owned slaves.

Fine, that's all I was looking for.

but there is no denying his influence and impact around the world.

Neither I nor Hitchens ever said there was.

It's been fun. Thanks for the dialogue.
