Because You Voted Democrat....

[PoliticalChic]

....we had the Cuban Missile Crisis. This week is the 'anniversary.'

That's right.

The Russians calculated that America was right for knocking over because Democrats vote characteristics like attractiveness and skin color over acumen and experience....and honesty (let's not forget rapist Bill).




1. "1962...President John F. Kennedyannounces that U.S. spy planes have discovered Soviet missile bases in Cuba. These missile sites—under construction but nearing completion—housed medium-range missiles capable of striking a number of major cities in the United States,...

2. ...the Cuban Missile Crisis actually began on October 15, 1962—the day that U.S. intelligence personnel analyzing U-2 spy plane data discovered that the Soviets were building medium-range missile sites in Cuba.

3. October 22, Kennedy went on national television to announce his decision. During the next six days, the crisis escalated to a breaking point as the world tottered on the brink of nuclear war between the two superpowers.

4. On October 26, Kennedy learned that work on the missile bases was proceeding without interruption, and ExCom considered authorizing a U.S. invasion of Cuba.

5. On October 28, Khrushchev announced his government’s intent to dismantle and remove all offensive Soviet weapons in Cuba."

Next.....why there was a nuclear crisis, and why it was caused by the Democrat being elected.


And....if I feel like it....other similar near catastrophes due to Democrats being elected.

“The essence of the liberal outlook lies not in what opinions are held, but in how they are held: instead of being held dogmatically, they are held tentatively, and with a consciousness that new evidence may at any moment lead to their abandonment. This is the way in which opinions are held in science, as opposed to the way in which they are held in theology. Science is empirical, tentative, and undogmatic; all immutable dogma is unscientific. The scientific outlook is the intellectual counterpart of what is, in the practical sphere, the outlook of Liberalism.” Bertrand Russell

So sorry I have to inform you of your mistake, middy....but this is what you misunderstand as 'Liberal' or 'Progressive'....

It's socialism, communism, totalitarianism....

True story.


“The theory of economic planning envisions government bureaus and planning boards mandating what goods will be produced, in what quantities, who the producers shall be, prices of pre-finished and finished goods, wage levels and compensation of workers, regulations, conditions, etc Cartels, such as were established in Germany under the Third Reich, would unite with foreign counterparts that would regulate the international flow of goods. The central planning agency would control the banks and the flow of all investment, deciding who will benefit and at what price. It is essentially a centralized command and control economy, or totalitarian regime, such as was common throughout the world in the 1930s. James Burnham referred to this as the Managerial Society, or rule by the 'experts' and technicians.


Secretary Tugwell and FDR

It was at this point in time that terms in the basic political lexicon of America were transformed -partly due to Tugwell's influence. The term 'liberal', which at one time was considered moderate and even mainstream, became a code word for 'radical', and 'socialism'. The idea's formerly associated with 'liberalism' became conservative, libertarian, or classical liberalism.” Rexford Guy Tugwell - Conservapedia

Critics of Roosevelt's New Deal often liken it to fascism. Roosevelt's numerous defenders dismiss this charge as reactionary propaganda; but as Wolfgang Schivelbusch makes clear, it is perfectly true. Moreover, it was recognized to be true during the 1930s, by the New Deal's supporters as well as its opponents.

When Roosevelt took office in March 1933, he received from Congress an extraordinary delegation of powers to cope with the Depression."

Actually Kennedy was a republican because according to the left somewhere along the way the two parties switched...or something like that.

"Why Sex Is Not Binary

Of course, Trump is correct.

Radical Revolutionary Atheist Leftist Marxist Ideologies led us to the brink of global thermonuclear mutually assured destruction. That's what happened. Ideological nukes became real atom slitting weapons.

Did you know back in the 1960's that the United States had developed a missile system that could of knocked down any ICBM from the Soviet Union? But the liberals decided that this wasn't FAIR, so instead of continuing with the NIKE Hercules AMS(Anti Missile System) they wanted MAD(which is what liberalism is) Mutual Assured Destruction, where everyone gets killed instead of the Commie Bastards over there. So whenever you hear a liberal talking about FAIRNESS, he actually means the he couldn't give a rats ass about you, and if you die, so be it, just a Commie died along with you. That is fair....Why else are the liberals allowing Diseased illegal hordes to come across the border and kill our children...They think it is fair because their children are dying also...

The Nike Hercules (initially designated SAM-A-25, and later MIM-14) was a surface-to-air missile (SAM) used by U.S. and NATO armed forces for medium- and high-altitude long-range air defense.

7. What has happened to large segments of the electorate, to convince then to vote on the basis of beauty, skin color, party designation, rather than what an individual has done and will do for the nation?
The Left's control of the public school system.....


Here's the result:

“The mob characteristic most gustily exhibited by liberals is the tendency to worship and idolize their political leaders.

Le Bon explained that mobs can only grasp the “very simple and very exaggerated.” Their chosen images must be absolute and uncompromising… As Le Bon says, the “primitive” black-and-white emotions of a crowd slip easily into “infatuation for an individual.”

Liberals worship so many political deities that they must refer to them by initials, just to save time- FDR, JFK, RFK, MLK, LBJ, and O.J. Ever hear a conservative get weepy about “RWR” or refer to something as hokey as “Camelot”?

Passionate adoration are the primitive emotions of a mob, sentiments generally associated with women, children, and savages, according to Le Bon.” Coulter





They sure don’t want to recall how all the Liberals were calling Hussein Obama ‘god,’ ‘Jesus,’ and the ‘messiah.’



And, as a result of the vote for the ingénue “JFK,” we nearly came to a nuclear disaster.

And, the same scenario occurred with Obama….I’ll get to that.

8. Democrat telling of history marks the Cuban Missile Crisis as the singular achievement of John F. Kennedy.
Yet, it is a primary example of the Left's hagiography: telling half the truth about their heroes.


The pattern here is that only the positive aspects of any tale about Democrats is told.

Republicans.....the obverse: If Trump could walk on water, the NYTimes headline would be "Trump Can't Swim! An Embarrassment To Minorities Who Swim!!"




Here, a more important telling of half-truths: The Cuban Missile Crisis.
"Many contemporary observers applauded Kennedy for standing up to the Soviet Union. His insistence that Soviet missiles be dismantled and taken away from Cuba earned him widespread support. Those nuclear weapons were a direct threat to American cities."
The National Archives | Heroes & Villains | Kennedy & Cuba

Here's the truth:
John Kennedy was as much the cause of the crisis as the hero.

“The purpose right now is to show that you are glossing over Kennedy. You are airbrushing the bad things,” Elder answers." Larry Elder Hammers Chris Matthews in Agonizing Interview: ‘I’m Sorry For Cutting You Off the Way You Cut Your Guests Off’

9. Time-line

a. The Vienna summit was a summit meeting held on June 4, 1961, in Vienna, Austria, between President John F. Kennedy of the United States and Premier Nikita Khrushchev of the Soviet Union. Vienna summit - Wikipedia

b." In May 1962, Khrushchev announced to the Politburo his secret plan to put Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba." Cuban Missile Crisis: Kennedy's Mistakes

c. October, 1962....Cuban Missile Crisis




Here is the key question that the Democrat stenographers never pose, much less answer:
What made Khrushchev decide to take a chance on putting missiles in Cuba?

Revelations that answer that query to follow.

 

[PoliticalChic]

10. “…the fairy tales Kennedy’s court scribes (with their adoring media cohorts of the time) concocted about JFK’s Pattonesque handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis (56 years ago this week) prevail in media/academic circles even today.



In fact, that Khrushchev swept the floor with cowed Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis was mainstream conservative conclusion throughout much of the Cold War. Richard Nixon and Barry Goldwater, for instance, represented opposite poles of the Republican establishment of their time.

"We locked Castro's communism into Latin America and threw away the key to its removal," growled Barry Goldwater about the JFK’s Missile Crisis “solution.”

"Kennedy pulled defeat out of the jaws of victory,” complained Richard Nixon. "Then gave the Soviets squatters rights in our backyard." 'The Biggest Defeat in Our Nation’s History'—The Cuban Missile Crisis



Amazing what you can put over when you control the media.

 

[PoliticalChic]

11. Now about that wondrous Kennedy success in the Cuba Missile Crisis….

“Generals Curtis Le May and Maxwell Taylor represented opposite poles of the military establishment."The biggest defeat in our nation's history!" bellowed Air Force chief Curtis Lemay while whacking his fist on his desk upon learning the details of the deal.

"We missed the big boat," complained Gen. Maxwell Taylor after learning of same.


"We've been had!" yelled then Navy chief George Anderson upon hearing on October 28, 1962, how JFK "solved" the missile crisis. Adm. Anderson was the man in charge of the very "blockade" against Cuba.




"It's a public relations fable that Khrushchev quailed before Kennedy," wrote Alexander Haig. "The legend of the eyeball to eyeball confrontation invented by Kennedy's men paid a handsome political dividend. But the Kennedy-Khrushchev deal was a deplorable error resulting in political havoc and human suffering through the America's."

William Buckley's National Review devoted several issues to exposing and denouncing Kennedy's appeasement. The magazine's popular "The Third World War" column by James Burnham roundly condemned Kennedy's Missile Crisis solution as "America's Defeat."



Even Democratic luminary Dean Acheson despaired: "This nation lacks leadership," he grumbled about the famous “Ex-Comm meetings” so glorified in the movie Thirteen Days. "The meetings were repetitive and without direction. Most members of Kennedy's team had no military or diplomatic experience whatsoever. The sessions were a waste of time."
'The Biggest Defeat in Our Nation’s History'—The Cuban Missile Crisis



Bet you reliable Democrat voters didn’t know any of that, huh?

12. Here is the key question that the Democrat stenographers…er, ‘journalists’… never pose, much less answer:
What made Khrushchev decide to take a chance on putting missiles in Cuba?



Let’s answer it:

Before Kennedy agreed to meet with Khrushchev, at the Vienna summit was a summit meeting held on June 4, 1961, his own advisers had warned him not to do so.....they recognized him as a 'lightweight' as far as foreign policy experience.



"Senior American statesmen like George Kennan advised Kennedy not to rush into a high-level meeting, arguing that Khrushchev had engaged in anti-American propaganda and that the issues at hand could as well be addressed by lower-level diplomats. Kennedy’s own secretary of state, Dean Rusk, had argued much the same in a Foreign Affairs article the previous year..

....Kennedy went ahead, and for two days he was pummeled by the Soviet leader. Despite his eloquence, Kennedy was no match as a sparring partner, and offered only token resistance as Khrushchev lectured him ...

Kennedy’s aides convinced the press at the time that behind closed doors the president was performing well, but American diplomats in attendance, including the ambassador to the Soviet Union, later said they were shocked that Kennedy had taken so much abuse. ... the meeting was “just a disaster.”



Khrushchev’s aide, after the first day, said the American president seemed “very inexperienced, even immature.” Khrushchev agreed, noting that the youthful Kennedy was “too intelligent and too weak.” [Can you say 'Obama'?]




Kennedy’s assessment of his own performance was no less severe. Only a few minutes after parting with Khrushchev, Kennedy, a World War II veteran, told James Reston of The New York Times that the summit meeting had been the “roughest thing in my life.” Kennedy went on:
“He just beat the hell out of me. I’ve got a terrible problem if he thinks I’m inexperienced and have no guts. "Opinion | Kennedy Talked, Khrushchev Triumphed




Now you know why Khrushchev decided to put missiles in Cuba.
Kennedy himself was the cause of the Soviet move that almost started WWIII.


And why Chris Matthews was incensed when Larry Elder revealed this about a Democrat idol.

 

[PoliticalChic]

13. The center of the JFK 'legacy' is his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis....how he forced the Russians to back down.

He didn't.

And, he was responsible for much of the crisis, and he had to back down to settle it.




I found this in an issue of my Columbia University Magazine...
A Columbia University grad wrote this in a letter to the editor in the Columbia Magazine.
Interesting piece of history...

"I was just three weeks into my one-year tour in Trabzon, Turkey, on the Black Sea ninety miles from the Soviet border, when Kennedy was assassinated. I am surprised, however, that fifty years later, the myth that he “stared down” Khrushchev over Cuba is not fully recognized for what it is.

Kennedy bargained on his own with the Soviet leader and agreed to swap out the aging US Jupiter missiles from Turkey for the withdrawal of Soviet missiles from Cuba. Few people knew about this. With midterm elections pending in early November 1962, he kept it a secret from the American public.


The secret endured for more than twenty years. While I was stationed at Trabzon, I met several employees of Hawker Siddeley (diesel engines) and Marconi (electronics) who were working under NATO contract to retrain Turkish missile men in radar at Rize, on the Black Sea halfway to the Soviet border from Trabzon."
Letters Winter 2013-14 | Columbia Magazine



Soooo.....the Russians forced Kennedy to remove US Jupiter missiles from Turkey....


...so much for Kennan's Containment Policy.

 

[PoliticalChic]

14. Was Khrushchev disappointed????

"We ended up getting exactly what we'd wanted all along," snickered Nikita Khrushchev in his diaries, “security for Fidel Castro’s regime and American missiles removed from Turkey and Italy. Until today the U.S. has complied with her promise not to interfere with Castro and not to allow anyone else to interfere with Castro. After Kennedy's death, his successor Lyndon Johnson assured us that he would keep the promise not to invade Cuba."

In fact Khrushchev prepared to yank the missiles before any “bullying” by Kennedy. “What!” Khrushchev gasped on Oct. 28th 1962, as recalled by his son Sergei. “Is he (Fidel Castro) proposing that we start a nuclear war? “But that is insane!...Remove them (our missiles) as soon as possible! Before it’s too late. Before something terrible happens!” commanded the Soviet premier.”
'The Biggest Defeat in Our Nation’s History'—The Cuban Missile Crisis




"...kept it a secret from the American public."
The very point of this thread: no such secret would have been kept were he a Republican.




BTW….when communist sycophant Obama went to kiss the ring of the Castros…..they spit in his eye:

No Respect for Obama as he removed restrictions on Cuba,....he visits, but Raul Castro couldn't be bothered to be at the airport:

" As the plane landed at a rainy Jose Marti International Airport, Mr Obama tweeted: "What's up Cuba? Just touched down here, looking forward to meeting and hearing directly from the Cuban people." The president was greeted by foreign minister Bruno Rodriguez - not president Raul Castro. Instead he will hold talks with his Cuban counterpart on Monday."

But, heck.....this is the sort you Democrats vote for.

 

[Tax Man]

So the bases were under construction when Ike was president. So sorry to blowup your whole theory. But that is what facts do to cons lies and disinformation.

 

[Flash]

JFK was a chickenshit asshole. However, the MSM and Hollywood loved the sonofabitch.

The only thing he ever did right was lower taxes, which would get him kicked out of the Democrat Party nowadays.
