You are setting us up with your opening line.
You create a slightly negative idea about JFK to draw in your audience, and then you flip them with the second part which is a hopefully positive idea and is going to lead up to a presentation of what you hope will turn Americans off of their government, economy and self-preservation.

The Fed, as has already been mentioned, and certainly Vietnam would have looked very, very different.

So here you are insinuating that the Fed is somehow bad. I'll ask if not the Fed then who? If you don't like the Federal Reserve then what bank do you like? Or do you hate banking? Do you hate capitalism? Do you wish that America would simply lay down her arms and give in to your external desire?

I'm also quite fascinated by the reports that Kennedy approached Khrustjev with a suggestion for going to the moon together.
That might have ended the Cold War 20 years earlier and meant a totally different approach to the exploration of space.

And now this madness.
This is insidious folly.
You would have America share her technology with a what? A friend? A peer? A superior? Please let me know.
And again you try disarming with the ''Cold War is over'' tactic.

But maybe you would care to elaborate on why it was a good thing he got killed?

Why do you think he was such a bad president?

Here is your invitation for fair play and an opening for additional opportunity to pummel the audience with clever retort.

Oh and in case you hadn't been keeping up, America is not all that rockin' right now. Mainly because too many people go around chanting "USA, USA" and "We Rock" instead of actually looking at the problems...

Finally, like a well-written late night talk show, the zinger! The gotcha!

You set us up again by poking us with a sharp stick and then offering to help us make changes.

Dude, I see it every day on my television.

THX-1138 you must be to young to of known JFK. I am too. But I have listened to his speeches and cried over what we lost with his assassination. I went to my parents to ask about it and they can not talk about it with out tearing up too.

We lost so much with losing him. And then we lost Bobby too. The better of the Kennedys were truly the best of us. The worse of the Kennedys (Ted) are truly the worst.

But with the loss of JFK we lost our hope for a Constitutional USA.

You should do a search for his speeches and his acts. The Cuban missile crises being amongst his greatest of triumphs saving us all from the worst possible outcome...

President Kennedy had a lot of skeletons in his closet like allegations of his mafia pact through his father Joe to win the election over Nixon to his trysts with many woman outside of marriage. However, deep down I think he was a very progressive President and wanted to see the nation go back to its' Constitutional roots, and in that very instance, going back to the gold standard over time. He also advocated relaxing the authority of the Federal Reserve. In addition to forming a diplomatic approach when dealing with the Soviet Union. Plus he frowned upon government secrecy and hidden agendas. No leader of the free-world should have his brains blown out on video for the world to see over and over again. However, maybe it was a good thing that the footage was captured for the sake of posterity.

Then someone made the bold statement that the Cuban Missle Crisis was contrived in some smoke-filled board room by the NWO? Okay and unicorns and leprechauns roam the forests outside your home (sarcarsm). All sarcasm aside, I think the President and his advisers handled that situation quite well. If he didn't, we would be drinking water out of a radioactive puddle and living in caves right now. His level-head and patience is what saved the world during those trying 13 days of hell. I'll end with one of my favorite speeches made by President Kennedy and I turn to it more and more as things go upside-down with the current state of affairs in the United States.

Just have to say that I have never seen such a lengthy response with so little said however I am curious about this statement:



So here you are insinuating that the Fed is somehow bad. I'll ask if not the Fed then who? If you don't like the Federal Reserve then what bank do you like? Or do you hate banking? Do you hate capitalism?


What does the Federal Reserve have to do with Capitalism?

If JFK got rid of the Federal Reserve, then what would replace it? And what would this signal to Americans?


You are aware that the Federal Reserve is a relatively new installation in American History aren't you?
