On being liberal

"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, their civil liberties...f that is what they mean by liberal, I am proud to be a liberal” ~ John F. Kennedy


There ya go, vultures, tear JFK apart for being liberal.

And....GO!

JFK, would hate the democratic party as it stands today, I'm sure when teddy went through the pearly gates, his brother john beat the crap out of him. Different time LH, you gotta agree to that! I would have voted for JFK over clintoon, and obama, even over John M..jmtcw

Liberal doesn't mean what it used to. But conservatives have also changed in meaning.

:thumbsup:

"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country. "

That tells me JFK believed in a hand up, not a handout. That's the big difference between JFK and the modern liberal.

NBM, TOTALLY AGREED!!! Today he would be a Republican.

IMHO: Today, he'd be disgusted with both parties.

Agreed with all of the above. So, how do we find a candidate like him again?
