John F. Kennedy Was a Conservative - Reason.com

JFK was an NRA life member who proposed tax cuts on the rich. Twenty years later, Ronald Reagan often quoted JFK on tax policy. JFK was a staunch anti-communist and ally of Joe McCarthy during his Senate days. Brother Bobby followed along. Is it possible that a liberal prince was really a RWNJ?

The author of this book basically does the exact same thing he accuses Kennedy aides of doing,which is spinning Kennedy's record.

neither groups is denying the facts of his presidency, just the reason he did them. If he can be considered both a "liberal prince" and a right winger then doesnt that mean there is some common point in which both sides agree ????

seems you are making the perfect case for right wingers to stop doing so much name calling.

I don't think he is a liberal prince. I've never heard progressives really say that. Furthermore quite a number of blacks feel civil rights would've never passed in the mid 60's if he was president for 8 years.

JFK said tax cuts were the right way to go during a time in which the country isn't in the middle of a recession.

Progressives and liberals are not one in the same, so not hearing any progressives call him a liberal prince means nothing.
