“Actually, there was massive election fraud involved in his win. In, of all places; Chicago. The margin there was enough for Kennedy to defeat Nixon. Democratically elected? Not.”

- Yes, I'm aware there are many people who claim such things. Personally I have no opinion.

The US is a very large nation (not compared to China perhaps but at least to my nation, Sweden, where accusations of election frauds are extremely rare).

I'm also well aware there probably were lots of ties between the Democrats and the American Maffia at that time, something I believe never could have happened in a country like Germany, Sweden or the UK.

On the other hand, a lot of people in predominantly Protestant countries like the Northern European ones claim that our PC media has too much of power in my part of Western Civilization.

In Swedish, British and German newspapers, critical opinions regarding for instance homosexuality and Islam are seldom tolerated.

Blame Calvinism and its belief in "collective guilt" for this phenomenon. I know that Calvin did have some influence on Evangelical Lutheranism in Sweden and Germany, despite resistance to JC among prominent Lutheran theologians.

It should also be pointed out that both electoral turnout and electoral integrity are strongest in those portions of the US settled by Scandanavians (Minnesota, Iowa, outer Wisconsin, etc.). They (generally) tend to be lowest in regions of the country settled by Catholics and blacks.

This is why we are so grateful for our Constitution and Bill of Rights. And we will defend it with our lives.
