President Kennedy’s show of weakness while debating Krushev and the Bay of Pigs disaster prompted the Soviets to be bolder and build missle bases in Cuba.

The liberals that write the history books show Kennedy as a hero instead of his shown weakness being the cause. This often happens, liberal history teaches FDR’s policies led the nation out of the great depression which lasted 11 years right up to WW II war production, liberal history teaches Reagan’s economic policies only benefited the wealthy, liberal history teaches Clinton was impeached over a sexual matter.

To resolve the Cuban Missle crisis Kennedy caved in and made great concessions to the Soviets such as removing missles from Turkey.

Why is the USA having missles in Turkey different than the Soviets having missles in Cuba? It’s simple, though liberals would quickly disagree, Americans are the good guys.

and THAT is the problem today. Americans have been educated into thinking that Americans are not the good guys, just some ordinary no better and no worse than anyone else guys.

Yet we are trying to rebuild countries.....no wonder we allow them to have constitutions that state NO LAW SHALL CONTRADICT ISLAM.

And your right about Kennedy. In fact, he was told by Republicans months before that missiles were being put in Cuba but he didn’t listen.

Republicans told the president way before this that the russians were putting nukes in Cuba but he wouldn’t do anything about it. Almost got us all killed.

That's not why....We installed missiles in Turkey, pointed right down the Soviets throat.

What would you do?

Did we not install the big guns in Turkey first, pointed right at the head of the Soviets?

If I drive in front of your home and set up some big guns pointed at your windows, would you not do the same to my home?

I'm not defending the Commies, but if you threaten my home, I'm going to be threatening yours too.
