Being a Democrat Is Not Cool Anymore

Canada Free Press

There was a time when being a Democrat was cool. With President Kennedy,  the Democrat Party had turned a corner. The past was left behind. The preservation of our freedom, and our culture, with Democrats finally beginning to welcome African Americans into the fold, became all important.  Kennedy Democrats saw the future and jumped in with both feet.

JFK was the personification of cool, young, handsome, intelligent, articulate and he loved America. He was a veteran who served his country in time of war.  Kennedy was willing to do what was necessary to protect America, yet he understood war and the hazard of the slouching, uncontrolled, unchecked descent into war.

In many ways, JFK was a conservative, both social and fiscal

JFK was a classic liberal, but more important a Kennedy liberal. He was his own brand…an anti-communist and a fiscal conservative, opposed to a strong centralized government.  He believed in states’ rights and a strict construction of the Constitution.  He was not a big spender, except when it came to the military. Kennedy believed in equality (never mentioned equity), civil liberties, meritocracy, free trade, and a market economy.

In many ways, JFK was a conservative, both social and fiscal.  In a speech, Kennedy expressed that he was a Democrat because he was born one, or an accident of birth. So he chose to be the most conservative Democrat he could muster.  He fought for low taxes, was tough on unions, and hated government dependency. When liberal Harvard economics professor, John Kenneth Galbraith, scolded Kennedy for cutting taxes and not increasing government spending,  he told him to shut up. When Al Gore, Sr. (Al Gore’s father) also opposed the tax cuts, he called him a “son of a #.” 

Kennedy was anti-abortion, calling it repugnant. In fact, Kennedy appointed one of the judges that dissented against Roe v. Wade, Byron White.  JFK felt that America was strengthened by Christian morality, and took advantage of opportunities to criticize the “cynical philosophy of intellectuals.” more

  1. The Democrat Party is closer to Lee Harvey Oswald’s vision of a Communist Political Party than the one that elected President John F. Kennedy.

    Kleptocracy!

  3. It was never cool. The party of JFK (whoremonger, drug addict, weak against Soviet and Cuban Communism) was identical to the party of the Confederacy, and the current Democrat party. The only difference is how LBJ tricked the Blacks into voting for the party that oppresses them.

  4. Old man Kennedy was a mob booze runner and from what reports claim “was a real ass hole”. His sons were all spoiled assholes and their sons were spoiled ass holes. All that “American First Royal Family” crap was typical liberal media pap. They weren’t cool, they were privileged wealthy elites who were given special liberties in public.

  5. JFK was married, before Jackie, to a Nazi spy. Daddy got that annulled and Johnny sent off to the Pacific to keep him from further screw-ups, only to have him get PT-109 sunk right out from under him.
