To: Anitius Severinus Boethius
a classic line given in one of the great inaugural addresses.

Agree. Here is another slice of that masterful speech:

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. JFK, Inaugural address, 1961

Can you imagine a Democrat saying something like that today. Even the RINOs wouldn't be caught saying it!

That’s true (cannot imagine any Dem saying that today), but Kennedy was a chameleon. He presented one side of himself to the public, and quite a different one in private. So, who knows what he really thought?

Faithful Catholic in public/sorry sinner in private. Athletic, vigorous man in public/wracked with pain, drug addict in private. I could go on, but one should not speak ill of the dead.
