Poor Obama...I wonder if he'd lived 45 years ago, old JFK would have his house bugged!? What do you think, folks?

It was a really cute time for America. The press was absolutely jerking itself senseless over Jack and Jackie. Eastern white folk, supposedly upper crust, but that's where the lie started:

Old Joe was just a very lucky bootlegger. He spent his life remaking the image of the Kennedy's, with money from illegal booze and Molasses. He used money, power and even the mob to produce the results needed. He bribed papers, bought influence and literally constructed JFK's career. He bought his way into Harvard, twisted arms to get him on the PT's, etc.

Now you can call me biased, but isn't this what the dems condemn George Bush for?

You want to know what's funny?

Richard Nixon! Here was an essentially, self made man, rose from poverty, educated himself, and rose to the top of the heap with nothing more than his own abilities! Anyone want an endorsement from Trisha Nixon?

I didn't think so, but it'd really carry more weight, don't you think?

Actually, we conservatives owe JFK a great deal: He was the real catalyst of the Neoconservative movement. If not for him, most of the current crop of senior neocons would probably be democrats!

Now he was not the founder, or even a neocon, but when you look at the history of the neoconservative movement, the Kennedy ideals are certainly embodied there. What are they? They are:

Cutting taxes to promote growth - Kennedy was a blatant supporter of this. Once he was gone, the socialist liberals then took over the party and went the other way.

Size of Government - what do you think the phrase 'ask not what your country can do for you...' actually meant? certainly not the not-so-great-society!

Traditional Moral Values - while old JFK certainly did not follow them himself with any consistency he was a big promoter of traditional moral values i.e. home, family, citizenship, loyalty to ones' nation. After all, it's the thought that counts!

Expansionist Foreign Policy - On this, Kennedy was purely a neocon, what with Bay of Pigs and Vietnam, his stance on the missile gap, etc.

You know, in reading this, I think it's just wonderful that Teddy thinks Obama embodies the ideals of Kennedy.....I am just dismayed at which one's he might actually be referring to! Actually, we already HAVE a president who embodies most of what Kennedy believed in! I don't suppose you want four more years of THAT, do you?

No, of course not. THAT would require thinking.

So when you start feeling impressed by the Kennedy Camelot, just read up on the history.

You sir are an idiot! None of what you state in your comments is even close to being correct or meaningful Amazed that you figured out how to get out of bed today---kind of upset that you did. There has never been anyone more wrong that you, crawl back in your hole as we are tired of your falshoods, rhetoric and general hatred.
