I didn't know you admired JFK.

BTW in the same speech JFK also said: "Let us never negotiate out of fear but never fear to negotiate".

You do realize that JFK would be considered a conservative nowadays.

And to whom would you suggest we negotiate with: Saddam, bin Laden...?

Weeb...Weeb... Weeb... And you were doing so well there for awhile.

JFK wasn't a conservative, but he certainly was a visionary Democrat!

It's all relative to the times.

"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country", cutting taxes, stand down with the Russians over Cuba, strong stand against organized crime...

Sure sounds like a modern day conservative to me.

While JFK wasn't a liberal democrat he certainly wasn't a conservative either. He was just a man with unusual common sense with regards to public policy and he had the skill to communicate it.

BTW...The conservatives at the time blasted JFK for his handling of Cuba and the Soviets.

Sorry weeb, but modern day conservatives like President Bush demonstrated last night are arrogant and focused on making Americans afraid and distrustful of the rest of the world. While JFK on the other hand offered hope for America and the rest of the world.

Here's a perfect example:

Why don't you take a few minutes to read and listen to this speech.

[i]We are the world,
we are the children,
We are the ones who make a brighter day,
So let’s start giving

There’s a choice we’re making,
We’re saving our own lives

It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me[/i]
