Even the Republicans would blame him on the TEA Party.
He wouldn’t even have been elected Senator in Taxachussetts...
Yep
He also fought the Federal Reserve. Which is why he’s dead.
There isn’t one America loving, constitution respecting democrat today. Not one. That’s all I know. This article serves no relevance except to rub salt in the wound of any liberty and freedom loving American.
I just wish this country would stop worshipping him as some sort of demi-god. He’s benn dead 50 years - do we still need to see him on the cover of all the magazines?
It’s ironic that the modern Democrat Party fully embraces the myth of a liberal JFK yet completely ignores his successor,LBJ, who was a COMPLETE lefty and whose policies are responsible for many of today’s government problems .
It has been fifty YEARS, people. Children have been born, grown, up, married, produced children of their own, and those children have produced another generation in that span of time.
Teddy pretty much single-handedly subverted whatever memory there was of JFK, and the assassination of Robert pretty much sealed the record of whatever real accomplishments the original JFK may have produced. Much of JFK’s rhetoric is also similarly deleted or de-emphasized.
Sorenson gave Kennedy the expression, “A rising tide lifts all boats” in a speech, something he had seen in some New England newsletter, and Kennedy was on it like a duck on a junebug.
I suspect that he would be appalled by the Browns, Obamas, Clintons and Bidens. And the Sharptons, Jackson-Lees, McKinneys, et al? All the free-spending, whining grievance-mongers?
Fuggedaboutit.
Senator in Taxachussetts? Based on the article, the GOPe would call JFK a “Tea Party” wacko bird and do everything possible to marginalize him if they couldn’t beat him, a la Senator Ted Cruz.

That was my point. The democratic party today is a step away from communism.
Yes they would embrace him because his policies would have “evolved” over time and he would not be saying the same things as he did as President. Let’s keep in mind that Senator Ted Kennedy was a strong pro lifer in the early 70’s.
Didn’t we see this same article, or similar, during the Clinton presidency?
JFK’s policies were too conservative for today’s GOPe.
JFK was only leftist on unions and government unions. On economics and defense, he was conservative.
They’d embrace a JFK just as much as a Zell Miller.
One other tidbit of information on JFK to drive the left nuts, he was an NRA lifetime member....
A Democrat? He couldn’t even be an Establishment Republican.
