In 1962, President John F. Kennedy planted the seeds that grew the modern Democratic Party. That year, JFK signed executive order 10988 allowing the unionization of the federal work force. This changed everything in the American political system. Kennedy's order swung open the door for the inexorable rise of a unionized public work force in many states and cities.

I can never understand the cults of Roosevelt and Kennedy. How can two presidents who have done so much to undermine the foundation of the economic prosperity of this country be so admired?

The victors write the history books....which in turn become the text books of our school children....which then are the reference point for idealogues in the media.

Subliminals.

Kennedy had one of the largest staff’s on capital hill. Nobody has said anything about what will happen to all of them. Some will be absorbed by other Rats, but not all Rats will dislodge their own staff people.
Brown won’t have but a few staffers as a junior Senator..so they won’t be working for him. Intestesting.

Because 90% of Americans have spent 12 years locked in government-run indoctrination centers, where Democrat Presidents are all gods, and all Republican Presidents are toadies of evil corporations.

Because his supporters consciously strove to dominate the media and the education system, while there were almost no serious opponents.
