Am I the only one that...

If more Democrats were like JFK and more Republicans were like Eisenhower, I wouldn't mind.

But you just got through self-identifying as a member of a movement of social parasites. That's what Bernie
is all about. Free $h!t to support virtually all the needs of people who didn't earn it provided by people who did.

The govt conveyor belt of free everything funneled into your house, your mouth and your pocketbook would end in short order under JFK. You might mind that.

Personally I would take either of them. Eisenhower is a hero to me for his part as supreme allied commander in WWII ... and cynical me has precious few. He was a quiet, mindful president not inclined to throw his power around. He didn't feel the need to leave his mark on America or the world. God knows he'd already done it by then.

JFK was a visionary, a crusader and an orator. Guys like that can go very wrong or very right. He did both. Fortunately he also had courage and that helped him turn at least one great abysmal mistake into a legendary triumph. I have a special place for JFK because of the moon program he began but never lived to see. IMO the American wave reached its high water mark on July 20th 1969 when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon. Since then the wave has been steadily receding.

JFK was for low taxes and a strong military, Dems would like Trump better than him these days.

Democrats have morphed into something more akin to a rabid animal than an American citizen.

He also stopped "Operation Northwoods".
