Interesting read. The death of liberalism has given rise to that garbage that Democrats try to pass off as progressivism. Who could possibly be against progress right? What a load of crap that is. Anyway, here’s a good read from The American Spectator.
JFK and the Death of Liberalism
By Jeffrey Lord
John F. Kennedy, the father of the Reagan Democrats, would have been 95 this week.
May 29th of this week marked John F. Kennedy’s 95th birthday.
Had he never gone to Dallas, had he the blessings of long years like his 105 year old mother Rose, the man immutably fixed in the American memory as a vigorous 40-something surely would be seen in an entirely different light.
If JFK were alive today?
Presuming his 1964 re-election, we would know for a fact what he did in Vietnam. We would know for a fact what a second-term Kennedy domestic program produced. And yes, yes, all those torrent of womanizing tales that finally gushed into headlines in the post-Watergate era (and still keep coming, the tale of White House intern Mimi Alford recently added to the long list) would surely have had a more scathing effect on his historical reputation had he been alive to answer them.
But he wasn’t.
