The freak was a Hitler fan, just as every Democrat after him and many before him.
When Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110 which called for a return of America’s currency to the gold standard, and the dismantling of the Federal Reserve System — he signed his own death warrant.
The world bankers were not going to allow some horny rich kid to crush their power machine.
He was not a Keynesian.
This was his high point.His daddy was a bootlegger thug
He had great speech writers.
He was great at rhetorical delivery.
Never did understand what a
Jelly Doughnut is called in Berlin.Passed woman around as if they
were pieces of meat in the people's house.Had an affair with a Nazi spy in Washington DC
Sent to war in the Pacific.
Abysmal sailor, turned off his engines
in enemy waters.Allowed his ship to be destroyed by an enemy cruiser.
Should have been court-martialed
Other than the first item listed
he was a run of the mill Kennedy.
Umm...JFK did the first escalation himself - 1000 troops in 1961.
My dad was a WWII Navy Vet who published a WI newspaper back in 1955-1963 and wouldn’t even shake Kennedy’s hand as a formality during a press-op meet and greet. He thought he was a simp with his tan and his accent.
It’s sort of like the 911 and Flight 800 conspiracy nuts. It is only a conspiracy if it fits the agenda... very little common sense is needed to see the Kennedy assassination, Flight 800 and 911 as they really were... a lone gunman, a rare, but catastrophic engineering failure, and Muslim terrorists.
Chicago stole that election for Kennedy - the press knew - and they kept it to themselves. They also knew about Kennedy and his womanizing and they kept that to themselves...( I knew journalists from that time)
The press came to the conclusion that either Kennedy was worth selling out for - or they were base fools. They chose to believe he was worth selling out for... Same choice an abused wife makes when she stays with her abuser.

The Conspiracy Theory is the Conspiracy

Sometimes a conspiracy theory exposes a conspiracy. Sometimes the conspiracy theory is the conspiracy.

The result was a deluge of photos and media stories that gave John Kennedy an aura of youth and charisma that contrasted with the solid but uninspiring Eisenhower and dull-mannered Nixon. A new generation was coming into power in the country, and John Kennedy was taken as their exemplar.
The country was beguiled and fell in love with John Kennedy and the Kennedys in general, with the romance fading only a little due to his failures in office -- and magnified all the more by the tragedy of his assassination.
He was one sickly dude. Hospitalized over 3 dozen times in his life! So much for his youthful vigor.
A Commie did it, but they so much want to blame Conservatives for it.....hence all of the Conspiracy Theories.
Ah, but was JFK really larger than life? You hear that people support conspiracy theories because they can't believe that a great man like JFK could be brought down by a nonentity like Oswald, but the theories do a lot to make Kennedy out to be more of a great man or hero-god than he ever was in real life.
“6. He was a (white male) Democrat.”
This is probably why his carcass will be trotted out every year, until the last white voter is dead. The Dems have done a great job of convincing white “Catholics” to vote for their own destruction at the hands of the party of affirmative action, and what better way than dragging out this dead mediocrity.
