I’d say the Democrat Party is more fascist, not communist. Democrats are the party of big business and the wealthy. For all their talk about taxing the rich, they don’t confiscate wealth so much as direct how it’s acquired and used. There are no shortage of very, very rich Democrats.

The GOPe, btw, is much of the same. They, like the Democrats, collude with big business against the rights of common citizens. The so called “Tea Party” is far more populist than either the GOP or Democrats.

Yes, because JFK would be Bill Clinton.

Sure they would. JFK was all style and very little substance. The perfect Democrat candidate.

I once heard that JFK gave a speech one week before he died where he said that the people were victims of an incredible hoax perpetrated by certain sections of the government
the government

They’d call him an arsonist, terrorist, denier, etc...

They’d be scratching their heads in wonder and disbelieve whenever he’d mention that he was against Communism

Fun Fact, look up Executive Order 11110.

Another Fun Fact, when did Silver Disappear from change? 1964, replaced by Fiat Zinc.

Replaced by who? Lyndon Johnson.

Remember your Grandparents saying "I remember when Gas was 25 cents a gallon?"

Do you know why? Because a quarter was 90% Silver, and guess what? The Silver in a Pre-1964 Quarter is worth about 3.00 Bucks!

Remember Dime Stores? and now dollar stores? How much do you think a pre-1964 Dime is wroth?

Amazing isn't it?

I’m sure he would have found a way to “grow in office”, like a lot of Republicans have after they get to Washington.

“I just wish this country would stop worshipping him as some sort of demi-god. He’s benn dead 50 years - do we still need to see him on the cover of all the magazines?”

They really just need his “Ask what you can do for your country” message; Obama’s large wife said Obama was going to demand that we work, and they have to frame it in a historical context. Today’s Dems are asking what their country can do for/give to them, and JFK is being resurrected to coerce white people to pay for it.

“That was my point. The democratic party today is a step away from communism.”

Listening to Bill DeBlasio (probably NYC’s next mayor), I think we can safely say they’ve taken that step. I don’t see any Dems distancing themselves from his rhetoric; in fact, he climbed even further in the polls after his honeymoon in Cuba and work with the Sandinistas in Nicaragua were exposed.

Of course they would. They still adore JFK. Being a democrat means you can easily ignore your principles as long as it means you can control people by illusion or intimidation.

This article serves no relevance except to rub salt in the wound of any liberty and freedom loving American.

Beg to differ. WADR, it may help awaken some of the clueless. IF they ever get to see it.

For many, many years I have described myself as a JFK liberal. Then I explain my hatred of today’s radical leftists...

I don’t care how conservative JFK was.

The 1965 Immigration Act that was passed in his honor, killed this country.

You mean JFK the admirer of Adolf Hitler?
