If Ronnie Reagan had said it it would be hailed by La McCaffrey for what it is, a rock-solid conservative principle. This post and the egoquoque comments are Kennedy Derangement Syndrome in full bloom. <br /><br />God bess Jack Kennedy? No! I say Goddamn JacKKKennedy! He finagled the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, started the Vietnam War and bombed seven kinds of bejaysus out of Cambodia and got good ol' Lyndon and Honest Dick Nixon to take the blame. And all from beyond the grave. The dastard. He nudged Teddy into Poucha Pond and cackled evilly into the ether as Mary Jo gasped her last.<br /><br />He's not lying beneath the eternal flame up in Arlington but spectrally stalking his surviving child, muttering inane counsel into her privileged ear and empty head. He sprinkles angel dust upon the loins of his descendants so that they become overbearingly fruitful – tho' what else can you expect from a swarm of Papist Paddies. And these very descendants may then run for office, perhaps even the highest, they are after all natural born citizens, unlike the present incum...but I digress. <br /><br />The Missile Crisis, the Civil Rights Legislation, aiming for the Moon? So he solved a problem or two, big deal. And yeah, he had "the vision thing". Khruschev woulda backed down anyway, a level-headed, well-adjusted guy like him. And what's the Moon? A bare airless rock, right? We don't need no stinking idealism, no shining hope, no jejune celebration of our mythical exceptionalism, no mindless belief in the ability of Americans to accomplish anything they set their minds to.<br /><br />No. This man was savagely done to death in his prime by an insecure narcissistic neurotic we despise who was an adherent of an ideology we loathe and, by jimminy, we're going to do the same to his memory and his legacy.<br /><br />Because? Well, because the Left's got Sarah and we've got Jack.LIAM HODDERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11241193035033757955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-31805726425770590092011-01-21T10:07:34.437-05:002011-01-21T10:07:34.437-05:00I can't find the link, but after Ted Kennedy d...I can't find the link, but after Ted Kennedy died and liberal journalists extolled his "generosity," someone on the Right pointed out that he was generous with other people's money in terms of supporting redistributionist legislation (while parting with very little of his own money).<br /><br />But then, that's the liberal way. http://rosscalloway.com/2010/12/31/liberals-more-generous-with-your-money/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-66353948650915211062011-01-20T19:13:36.122-05:002011-01-20T19:13:36.122-05:00Don't forget, JEB, that JFK got us firmly embr...Don't forget, JEB, that JFK got us firmly embroiled in Viet Nam, leaving poor LBJ to try to pull out a victory with that idiot Robert MaNamara at the helm.

JFK was a tough cold warrior who built up our defenses and checked the Soviets in Cuba and Berlin. Faced with recession, he responded by calling for the biggest slashing of taxes in US history. He was determined to protect and extend American leadership in the world by strengthening the alliance system, ensuring our dominance in space, and building up our economy. All this at a time when the Republican Party was not in any current sense of the word a conservative party. Sure, in some ways" JFK was an FDR-Truman liberal, but really, was that such a bad thing when it meant mainly civil rights bills and the Peace Corps?J. E.
