I high doubt JFK would have Dylan Mulvaney to the White House. JFK much more like a republican than the democrats of today.

I highly doubt JFK would have Nick Fuentes to dinner at Hyannisport.

 

[g5000]

Some say JFK would be a neocon in today's politics.

JFK would be backing Ukraine all the way.

 

[Billo_Really]

JFK would be backing Ukraine all the way.

I agree.

 

[g5000]

This bs again?

"Our responsibility is not discharged by an announcement of virtuous ends. Our responsibility is to achieve these objectives with social invention, with political skill, and executive vigor. I believe for these reasons, that liberalism is our best and our only hope in the world today."

Address of John F. Kennedy upon Accepting the Liberal Party Nomination for President, New York, New York, September 14, 1960

Dr. Niebuhr, Professor Hayes, Governor Stevenson, Mr. Meany, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, I accept your nomination, and I am proud of it. [Applause.] I am proud to be the only candidate in 1960 with the nomination of two political parties, although I'm not certain how many tickets...

Classical liberalism had a much different meaning than the liberalism of today.

But, yes, JFK represented the left wing of the Democratic Party while LBJ was of the right wing.

Or so it was thought until LBJ passed the Civil Right Act.

 

[g5000]

Liberalism was an entirely different thing than today's progressives.
JFK's version of Liberalism is really Conservatism.

Not so. JFK was the left wing of the Democratic Party. He was for civil rights, while the right wing conservatives of the Democratic Party were vehemently opposed to civil rights.

Also, JFK pushed for Medicare to be added to the social safety net. It took LBJ to get that over the finish line.

Would that be with a fine Chianti and some fratha beans?

To Dr. Lester, it would.

Pure delusion, fraud boy.

At least as much as I do and I pay 25%.

You're not paying a 25% rate on your income.

 

[Billo_Really]

You're not paying a 25% rate on your income.

That's what is deducted from my paychecks.

 

[Billiejeens]

That's what is deducted from my paychecks.

Zero chance.

 

[g5000]

Pure delusion, fraud boy.

Simple facts, ignoramus.

Here are some more for your illumination.

The whole reason JFK was in Dallas that fateful day was to woo the conservative wing of the Democratic Party. That's why he had Connolly in the front seat. Connolly was the leading conservative Democrat of the period.

There weren't a lot of Southern Democrats who shed a tear when JFK was shot. They had been posting WANTED FOR TREASON posters all over the South with JFK's photo on it.

Up until about 1957, the Democratic and Republican parties had equal measures of liberal and conservative wings.

The Southern Democrats were Christian right wing conservatives and they held all the power in important congressional positions. In particular, House Speaker Sam Rayburn. This is how they were able to prevent any significant civil rights legislation from being passed for 75 years.


Trump's supporters know as little about America as Trump himself.

Trump knows nothing about America.

 

[g5000]

Amazingly similar to the rhetoric we see from Trumptards today:

 

[Billo_Really]

Zero chance.

Zero chance of what?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

That's what is deducted from my paychecks.

That's not the income tax deducted from your paychecks.

 

[Billo_Really]

That's not the income tax deducted from your paychecks.

I don't want to argue semantics.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

I don't want to argue semantics.

Good.
I want to argue math.

You don't pay a 25% tax rate on your income and the 1% pays a much higher rate than you.

 

[Billiejeens]

Zero chance of what?

Apparently of you not being a total dumbass.

 

[Billo_Really]

Good.
I want to argue math.

You don't pay a 25% tax rate on your income and the 1% pays a much higher rate than you.

The math is, 25% of my paycheck is deducted for taxes.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

The math is, 25% of my paycheck is deducted for taxes.

25% is not deducted for federal income tax.

 

[Anathema]

Okay, I see your point.

Thank you. It’s nice to see someone acknowledging that women and feminists are two separate species.
