Remember when the Democrat party was not run by Socialist Democrats?

How far has this party strayed from what made America great.

Indeed I do, and it seems like it wasn't that long ago.

It was back when the news just reported the news and didn't try to tell Americans what to think.

JFK is more conservative than 99% of the Republican poseurs in DC

I don't even call it a "Party" anymore. It's a Cabal, much like the Borg. They think and do what the collective tells them to think and do. It's no longer a "Party" of free thinkers and individuals but, rather, an army of mindless Orcs.

My parents never voted for anyone other than Democrats. They'd never believe what that party has become.

Funny how Republicans always misrepresent JFKs Ask not and MLKs I have dream to represent their twisted agenda

The Left took over the DNC and some of the GOP and all the media talks about is how divided the country is now, as if the problem resides with some mysterious source of evil.

I doubt we, or for that matter any nation EVER had a "press" or information source that endeavored to ONLY publish or otherwise disseminate important information pure to keep the public aware of things and events. It would be nice if there was such a group, who had no biases or desire to manipulate opinions

I do remember. The Obama thing changed it for me.

Well, it used to be at least in the ballpark of the ideal, which is no longer the case at all.

The government is doing the opposite than JFK's speech. MLK's dream is not what we see in the inner cities and other areas and the waste of tens of trillions of dollars for the result achieved.

I remember when Dem leadership frequently told the not job left wing of their party to shut the hell up. Once the left got control of the party it's been a race to the bottom. Incredibly, today Democrats shit on the poor and working class with their policies, that's mind boggling.

Well, he thinks judging people on their individual qualities instead of race is twisted and he thinks that government exists to take things from productive people who contribute to society and give them to those like him who contribute nothing.

JFKs Ask not speech was not a speech against welfare or Social programs for the poor. JFK was establishing the Peace Corps and “Ask not” was a call for public service.
In the same speech, JFK advocated for social programs

Do you remember a time when there were brave men in America who would actually fight to defend their Liberty?

Major fail, Simp.

Try again.

Great post.

I read a fantastic editorial yesterday which fits in perfectly with this thread.

The Kennedys are the enduring symbol of a liberalism, and a party, that died in the 1960s. It lives only in the nostalgia of an idealistic generation that’s now far from youthful.

When the baby boomers die, the Kennedy dream, of a Democratic Party that is inclusive yet proud of America’s past rather than ashamed of it, will also be over.

Biden, leader of a party whose liberalism is very different, hides behind the Kennedy dream. RFK Jr. takes that away.

And the bottomless sense of betrayal that animates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is an epitaph for a generation.

Boomer Democrats loved the American dream. But they failed the real America.

Conspiratorial RFK Jr. will be tough foe for a weakened Biden

For senior white voters in the Democratic coalition, the professed Catholic and Irish-ish Biden is an older, lesser Kennedy — but an heir to JFK nonetheless.

It’s funny how the Left always feels entitled to moral and intellectual authority in their retorts yet provides no context nor do they hold themselves accountable for it.

Of course! They were raised by useless parents who were too chickenshit to ever hold them accountable for squat.
