The ultra right and the libertarians are very, very unhappy. They have every right to be.

Good comeback!
Iz da libruls!
No, the comeback is that you used a headline that lied about what Jeb said, and now you look like an ass trying to dance your way out of it.
LOL
Yes.
You're so clever.
Oh, bright shiny light!
In the meantime

Thank you, but you required a minimalist effort to bitchslap.
Up your game.
SniperFire is merely a spasm now, so Mr. Doosh
So using your demented logic....Democraps today can discriminate against and punish Catholics today....even fine them if they don't bow to the black messiah's demands.
I wonder what JFK being a Catholic would think about Obamacare forcing birth control, etc on Catholic hospitals/organizations in the healthcare system.
Irony...it was conservatives who opposed JFK's candidacy BECAUSE he was a Catholic. They said he would take orders from the Pope. Kennedy decided to confront the issue of his religion, and deliver one of his greatest speeches at the Greater Houston Ministerial Association on September 12, 1960.
"But because I am a Catholic, and no Catholic has ever been elected President, the real issues in this campaign have been obscured--perhaps deliberately, in some quarters less responsible than this. So it is apparently necessary for me to state once again--not what kind of church I believe in, for that should be important only to me--but what kind of America I believe in.
I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute--where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishoners for whom to vote--where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference--and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him.
I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish--where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source--where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials--and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all."
EDUCATE yourself.
The ultimate irony...
Republicans opposed JFK's tax cuts
In the 1950s and 1960s, federal deficits were relatively small compared to the size of the economy, but even during those flush years, Republican leadership was reluctant to advocate tax cuts. In 1953, for example, Dwight Eisenhower said the country cannot afford to reduce taxes, reduce income, until we have in sight a program of expenditures that shows that the factors of income and of outgo will be balanced.
And when his successor, John F. Kennedy, proposed sharp tax cuts in 1963, the more conservative Republicans in Congress initially opposed them because the cuts would expand the deficit.
The legislation eventually passed (after Kennedys assassination), but over the objections of about a third of the Republicans voting.
"The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie deliberate, contrived and dishonest but the myth persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought."
President John F. Kennedy

Taxes are now primarily wealth redistributive.
It is much, much different now than in the pre Great Society era.
Hope this helps:

...JFK a Republican today...
...well I have to admit it's not quite as retarded as the conservatives who claim MLK would be a Republican.
