JFK was dead before I was born, but I'll venture to say that, in those days no one, Catholic or otherwise, had a CLUE what he was all about nor did they have the resources to find out, unlike what people have today in regards to Hussein.
I'm just so damn sick of seeing Christians on this forum more interested in taking digs and potshots at one another, than in finding common cause against our Real Enemies. I'm not talking about the Religion forums -- at least there, it's intended for heated discussion and debate -- but something like this, to see an otherwise "respectable" FReeper make an unwarranted crass comment, it just galls me. It's so stupid and pointless.
..unwarranted crass comment, it just galls me. It’s so stupid and pointless.

Explain to me the difference between one voting FOR someone JUST BECAUSE he is Catholic, Jewish, Black, White etc as to someone NOT voting for someone with the main reason being he is Catholic, Jewish,etc etc etc....
My only point was that Blacks today openly supporting a Black is no different than in 1960 Irish in particular and Catholics in general voting for JFK just because he was ‘one of them’.
I don’t know who I would have voted for in 1960.
I was a R coming from a D ‘background’ and it was the first Pres Election I could vote but was in Japan and voting was not one of my ‘priorities’.
