Anyways, JFK was an objectionable person, but I find nothing objectionable in that speech.
Would you rather he had said that he WAS going to take orders from the Vatican?
Religious people need to understand that if they want to pass laws that affect ALL of us, they need to provide not only a Constitutional justification, but also an argument that goes beyond "well, my religion tells me so."
And you need to understand that all laws are based on somebodys morality and no legislator in any government body has to explain his votes in religious or irreligious terms.
You also need to learn that religious folks have the same rights as irreligious folks to assemble in the public square and have their voices heard.
Under Kennedy’s speechifying this would be disallowed and it came to fruition in Roe with Blackmun bs’ing about the “separation of church and state” which is an extra constitutional law made by old people in black dresses perverting a letter written by Jefferson to a Baptist minister assuring him that government would not interfere in the affairs of his church.
The “free exercise” clause means what it says as does the “establishment clause”. That is what Santorum believes and what Kennedy tried to pervert to get elected. Screw him.
And yes I meant Turkey and wrote Germany vis a vis the missiles. He threw Germany under the bus by allowing the Berlin Wall to be built. Two thoughts scrambled in an old mind. JFK, the myth.
