I absolutely have reexamined the JFK myth.
By the way, I do try to give credit where credit is due. Truman did approve the dropping of the bomb. He did the Berlin Airlift. He did recognize Israel. JFK did things get the space program going and he did give some tax relief. Things like that.
McCarthy was a devout Catholic, and that put him in the Kennedy circle apart from party politics and was even the Godfather to RFK’s first child, Kathleen. And when McCarthy died, the Catholic church went all out with a Solemn Pontifical Requiem Mass was celebrated before more than 100 priests and 2,000 others at Washington’s St. Matthew’s Cathedral.
During his career, he was known a a drink nurser, not a drunk (regardless of the slanders from the Left on this) but it is a fact that after his unfair censure, he drank quite heavily and it did contribute to his early death.
Agree !
I also give credit where it’s due also. However if I am to damn the “warts” (and “warts” only through modern “eyes”!) of the Founding Fathers & the Southern Leadership. I am certainly going to damn these “moderns” for their “warts”. Since these “moderns” have lived or are currently living in this “oh so enlightened” age aren’t their “warts” worse?
