Thought experiment - would JFK be welcome in today's anti-2A Democrat party?

[PistolBob]

JFK was, and should be remembered as a liberal. The fact that he was a member of the NRA means nothing, unless one is of the opinion that, standing alone, membership in the NRA makes on completely conservative. Which of course is nonsense.

JFK loved America...thus making him ineligible for membership in the DNC

Did he? You do know who his father was right?

Yes, but was he a classical liberal or a neo liberal?

The people that we dub "liberal" today are nothing of the sort.

whocares why worry about the past and a man who is long deceased. We need to worry about the future and stopping the theft from future generations who have yet to be born.

If JFK was sitting in the WH now, and was following the policies he had in the 60s, you guys would be complaing about him as much as you do Obama.

You don't know where you are going if you don't know where you came from.

Hmm, pro-life, pro-growth tax policy, pro-Second Amendment.

Yeah, I'd be complaining up a storm, all right.

 

[Bill of Rights]

JFK and MLK would both be Republicans.

Ummm... correct me if I'm mistaken, but MLK was a Republican.....wasn't he?

 

[KG1]

JFK's NRA ain't today's NRA.

Did they have dog whistles back then?

Uh pro-life? Where'd you get that?

From the rumours and stories surrounding him and his numerous affairs, I'd go with pro-choice. Plenty of hearsay about his many lovers having had abortions. He couldn't have been too much against it.

He made comments that would indicate he leaned that way, and he also nominated Byron White to the Supreme Court, who was one of the dissenting Roe votes.

For a 1960s era Catholic to not be pro-life would have been far outside the realm of ordinary IMO.

...but totally ok for 1960s Catholics to diddle any woman that crosses their path? And we won t even get into their father's wealth.

Captain Bligh, that was almost an insulting statement about we Sailors.

VN Vet, just for clarification my comment was "sailor" with a lower case "s." It was not a comment on JFK's Navy service but upon his experience in sail boats. As a little "s" sailor, you know you can't sail into the wind. Close to it yes, into it no.

I guess ya'll have more faith in politicians than I do if you think what they say on one day is what they'll do on another...much less a few decades later.

 

[ModernGunner]

I'd guess that the libtards would hate JFK as much as they hate the NRA, considering JFK was an NRA Lifetime member, LOL...

JFK was, and should be remembered as a liberal...

And JFK's 'liberal' ain't todays 'libtard'.

A lot of people on INGO would ridicule him for being a "tin foiler". He warned us about "secret societies". I had to listen to this video a few times just to make sure I was hearing what I thought he was saying. He said there is a ruthless conspiracy around the world and they silence their dissenters. He said he wanted to inform and alert the American people.
