Just a quick Reminder...

Really, how about you put up or shut up? If you want to act like Adam Schiff and just make it up as you go then get elected. If you want your opinion to have any credibility then show me one statement I made that is not accurate about JFK.

Lets find out who doesn't have a clue

1. He loved the second amendment

2. His statement “ask not what your country can do for you,” which was reemphasized through his New Frontier program, is the complete antithesis of what liberals stand for today.

3. He was very religious and declared abortion to be repugnant

4. He wanted lower taxes and believed the tax system siphoned too much money out of the private economy

5. He was extremely anti-communist.

6. He supported free trade and wanted to lower barriers to trade

7. He resisted calls from within his party to expand New Deal programs to fight poverty; he proposed instead to cut income taxes in 1963 and to cut corporate taxes from 52% to 47%

Sure... your dumb assessment of JFK vs JFK's actual words:

“If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal", then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.”

- John F. Kennedy

Also it's funny watching you pretend the guy whose brain matter covered his wife and car, would be hyper pro 2nd Amendment today to the extent the NRA pushes.

JFK wasn't for lowering taxes out of hand. He was for lowering it down from 90%. He was not for it to be on a continual downward path. That's just you playing an obtuse game with words.

JFK on abortion and birth control:

Supply funds for international birth control studies

In 1963 Kennedy was asked whether he thought the US should supply funds for international birth control studies. The President replied: "If your question is: Can we do more, should we know more about the whole reproduction cycle, and should this information be made more available to the world so that everyone can make their own judgment, I would think that it would be a matter which we could certainly support."​

Free trade and lowering trade barriers? You think that is what the part of trump is about with all the new tariffs? :lol:

Extremely anti-communist... so he'd hate the GOP even more for trump having sullied up to Russia's KGB agent/prez.

Yeah.. like I said, you don't know wtf you are talking about.

So you can't dispute a single claim I made. Got it
 
You gave a single quote. You did nothing to dispute the actual information I posted because you can't.

Go back and read it. You posted before I submitted my edit. And now you are ignoring it. Run away with your ignorance. Run away.

*edit... since you seem to be a bit on the lazy side I'll post it again for you:

Well, it is clear where all this is going, and I'm sad to see the once proud party of JFK reduced to such straights.

The downhill slide started with Identity Politics and Racial/Gender/Orientation Pandering.

It was Utter Political Suicide to let Soros and the Radical-Left take over the whole DNC and Party.

It was even more self-destructive to abandon Working-Whites for Imported Illegal Immigrants.

I was a Blue-Dog Democrat for near two decades... No More!

So, just a quick reminder, Somebody in that circle, you need to get a message out:


"Would the Last Politician leaving the DNC, please remember to turn off the Lights!

Otherwise, we-the-people, are going to get stuck with another one of your useless Bills!"


Thanks,

I guess you could have called me a so called blue dog Democrat before Reagan took office. It was right around that time I realized that Democrats were full of **** and that all of their policies failed to help the very people they claimed they wanted to help. This is why the party is moving toward socialism, because that is what they really wanted all along. Don't work if you don't want to and we'll give you money and benefits anyway and we'll take it from the money that working people earn.

Say what you will, but at least we never became royalists.

After the fiasco of Private Servers, Benghazi, and UraniumOne, and ignoring the Quid-Pro-Quo of the Clinton Foundation, how can you honestly say that Bill and Hillary are not American "Royalty"?

They are certainly not accountable to the same Laws that I am!

Bill Clinton was impeached just the same as Trump was... only difference is that in that trial the House Managers were allowed to present their case.

With Trump, the Impeachment in the House completely BLOCKED any participation by the President's Political Party.

Don't even try to claim that the House Procedure with Trump was even close to fair. It was a Kangaroo Court in favor of the Democrats!

Furthermore, you completely side stepped the issues I brought, which were mostly about illegal activities by Hillary!

Your Comment here is a complete FAIL!

That's not technically true... the Republicans asked for 9 witnesses, and they got 3. Using the same math, shouldn't the Democrats have gotten 1 out of the 4 they requested?

Yeah, right. Do you just make s**t up as you go?

JFK quote

By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fear of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the 2nd amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationship, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason I believe the 2nd Amendment will always be important.”

He resisted calls from within his party to expand New Deal programs to fight poverty; he proposed instead to cut income taxes in 1963 and to cut corporate taxes from 52% to 47%. However, he did not make corollary spending cuts.

He was a 1960s Catholic.

He wasn't defending abortion, he was defending rights.

Is this your answer. You need to bring Trump into JFK?
