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". |

JFK wasn't a conservative, but he certainly was a visionary Democrat! [/b][/quote] 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. |

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: [url=http://www.cs.umb.edu/jfklibrary/j061063.htm]http://www.cs.umb.edu/jfklibrary/j061063.htm[/url] Why don't you take a few minutes to read and listen to this speech. |
