Our Kennedy.

[TemplarKormac]

Oh, he would be a great Democrat today were he still alive. He'd be 96, btw.

LOL. You would have called for his resignation after the Bay of Pigs. Don't sit there and lie to people.

 

[TemplarKormac]

JFK wouldn't be a Democrap today.

He was pro-military, anti-communist, a Catholic, pro-low taxes, pro-business, etc.

Hmmmm, except for the Catholic angle.....he looks like Romney.

The Democraps would just roll out some black, Hispanic, Asian....woman that is also a lesbian to run against him.

Kennedy started the Peace Corps, was working on a health care plan that would become Medicare, wanted to spend more on education and science..and wanted to go to the moon. That and he wanted to get the civil rights act passed.

None of that is at all conservative.

Kennedy

1) Expanded our military

2) Sanctioned multiple attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro

3) Allowed U-2 spying on Russia's missile sites

4) Expanded the space program

5) Was anti-Communist

6) In 1963 before his death he:

• a) Cut the corporate tax rate from 52 to 47%
  
  
• b) Cut income taxes from a range of 20-91% to 14-65%

7) Advocated pro-growth economic policy in general

8) Was pro-Israel

9) Founded the US-Israeli military alliance

10) Advocated a coup of the Iraqi government

11) Launched the invasion of the Bay of Pigs

12) Signed Proclamation 3504 authorizing the naval quarantine of Communist Cuba

So, were any of these things liberal by your standards? The irony here is that he seems awfully and eerily similar to Bush is a lot of ways. Especially his attitudes toward Iraq, his economic policies, his attitude towards Israel and his military strategy overall. His campaign against communism was similar in scope to Bush's War on Terrorism. You can't say that the Space program was a liberal thing, since many presidents built upon it, the first moon landing in July 1969 happened on Nixon's watch. You have no clue how conservative he was. In fact had he been around today, he'd have more in common with Republicans than Democrats.

what is it about liberals, they think people BELONG to them...

they do the same with black people, homosexuals, now Hispanics

it's awful how they look on people as (they own them)

Bill Maher going off on another stupid rant...and him going on about greed...He sits up on his show and soaks people out of their money to watch his ignorant ass...

you can only laugh at people like him...ugly nobody who goes around calling women, cxxts...and notice the left admires him for it

 

[blackhawk]

I have tried on more than a few times to care about Mahers opinions and have never been able to care and still don't.

Nobody calls Reagan "our Kennedy"

Kennedy would get primaried out in today Progressive Dem Party, he's to the right of most modern Presidents

yea i have never heard that either.....and someone should tell Bill that lots of older Democrats use Metamucil too....

the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.

So liberals....how does JFK's speech "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" fit into your welfare world???

Perfectly...

It is a call to PUBLIC service, not private greed.

If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

'Surely you jest.

You have the most wealthy souls in America calling for public service. Tell me you realize this at the time.

"My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
JFK

This quote alone would get Kennedy kicked out of the (entitlement for votes) Democrat Party of today.

No it wouldn't.

Bill Maher nails it.

Bill Maher on JFK vs Reagan: 'Our Kennedy Is Kennedy' | Video Cafe

Bill Maher had a few words for the Republicans who still "get a lump in their throat" for "their Kennedy" Ronald Reagan during his New Rules segment this Friday night.


MAHER: Now, I don't know if all politics is local, but I do think all politics is tribal and just as some people are dog people and others are cat people, some have a chip in their brain to be Democrats and others to be Republicans. We have Kennedy, you have Reagan. We have marijuana, you have Metamucil.

We want gays in the military. You want them in the airport restroom. [...]

The one reason we looked uglier in the '80's, is because we were uglier. It was when the baby boomers, the generation that was supposed to be different, just gave up and sold out completely. Kennedy's time was the time of "Ask not what your country can do for you." Reagan's was the time of "Greed is good."

JFK was far from perfect, but he was a true wit and a sex machine and he knew how to wear a pair of shades. Reagan was an amiable square in a cowboy hat who had sex with a woman he called mommie.

Kennedy was James Bond. Reagan was Matlock. Love him or hate him, we win. Republicans can call Reagan their Kennedy all they want, but it's like calling Miller High Life 'the champagne of beer. It's why calling someone your Kennedy will never really cut it, because our Kennedy, is Kennedy.

Actually Kennedy was a conservative and definitely would be a Republican today. So claim the liberal left.

No he wouldnt

 

[Plasmaball]

Except his lore was all contrived after his death. His administration was a mess. He was in serious trouble for even being re elected.

kennedy was an irish catholic. libs hate Christians. kennedy was a drinker. didn't they always bash bush for being a drinker. kennedy was an unfaithful husband and womanizer.

No they dont.

Kennedy would get primaried out in today Progressive Dem Party, he's to the right of most modern Presidents

This is how fucking stupid you people are. In order to win the presidency you must run more moderate period. This goes for both parties. You start off on one end and move your way to the center. Obama did it. Bush did it Clinton did it.romney did it.
Hell reagan was to left for you people, but you dont buy that. Even though he expanded government, amnesty for illegals, signed a treaty to reduce nukes with russia.....of wait that sounds like obama...i get the two confused these days.

This is what happens when bottom feeders get on the internet. They pollute the waters with their stupidity.

Kennedy was a pretty bad president.

Why would we call Reagan our Kennedy?

How silly.
