Until the same JFK that people on this thread are falling over themselves to worship decided that it would be more fun to have them as an enemy and give the USSR a base 90 miles off the US coast.
Thank you!
Sorry. JFK did all those things and more. The boot licking by "conservatives" nowadays it quite disgusting.
What year was the Cuba missle crisis?
JFK is a truly disgusting man. It is not just Mimi Alford’s book “Once Upon a Secret” that led to the quote “JFK, Monster,” it is his sharing a mistress with the Mafia, of turning the White House into a whore house, etc. The only nice thing I can think to say about him is that he was much better than Obama.
2008.
1962.
That was an ADVERTISEMENT posted as a protest to the JFK administration policies. It was in the Dallas Times on the morning of November 22, 1963. The Warren Commission Report even makes note of it as evidence of a severe anti-Dem attitude in the DFW region at the time.
“At that time in my life, I was a Goldwater Conservative but not a John Birch Conservative. There was quite a difference as the Goldwater supporters generally discounted the conspiracy themes of the Birchers. Really, folks, Eisenhower wasnt a commie.”
Ironically, Kennedy is now looked upon by many conspiracy theorists as an early opponent of the New World Order and that’s why he was assassinated. I will say this, he gave an eerie speech just days before his assassination warning of groups and persons that sound a lot like a shadow government.
History?
(Ben Bradlee JFK told me that he was all for peoples solving their problems by abortion.
Ronald Reagan labelled JFK a Marxist in 1960 in a letter to the vice president, offering his services to help defeat JFK.
I do not include Kennedys acceptance speech because beneath the generalities I heard a frightening call to arms. Unfortunately he is a powerful speaker with an appeal to the emotions. He leaves little doubt that his idea of the challenging new world is one in which the Federal Govt. will grow bigger & do more and of course spend more. I know there must be some short sighted people in the Republican Party who will advise that the Republicans should try to out liberal him. In my opinion this would be fatal.

One last thought, shouldnt some one tag Mr. Kennedys bold new imaginative program with its proper age? Under the tousled boyish hair cut it is still old Karl Marxfirst launched a century ago. There is nothing new in the idea of a Govt. being Big Brother to us all. Hitler called his State Socialism and way before him it was benevolent monarchy.
From unionizing government, to Vietnam, to the 1965 Immigration Act, even the homeless, JFK was the end of us.
However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Bostons WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s. In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedys blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960. In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin. After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFKs legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies. Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.
At least JFK liked women, as opposed to the current White Hut occupant.
I got Raul and Fidel mixed up....
You want to talk about disgusting....Johnson was a murdering bassturd. Make no mistake about that!!
LOL! Thought so...
Sorry..............Hurt my back hunting...and I’m not thinking right after about 5 beers.
No problem! May as well finish off the first half of the case!
Naw....I’m done.
Eisenhower destabilized the Batista government, but it was JFK who insured that Cuba would be implacable hostile to America as long as Castro lived.
Implacable, ha!!...Love that word.
I agree Johnson was worse. There is a book that claims he is behind scores of killings *at the moment the title escapes me, written by a liberal.
