O.T. The good old days
 
We all speak of the good old days and wonder where they went.

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any
price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe
to assure the survival and success of freedom".

JFK, 1961

Now there was a Democrat. What has happened to that democratic party. A party
that all Americans were proud of. To bad he was taken away so soon, who knows
where history may have taken us if November 22, 1963 had a different ending.

Those were the good old days.

153 days to go..

Can you imagine a democrat today saying "Ask what you can do for your
country?"

The fact is that if JFK were to emerge alive from the ether tomorrow,
ignorant of the events of the last forty years, and look around at the
writings and policies of the major parties, with no names or faces to

guide
him, he would be welcomed by and feel at home with any group of

republicans,
and be considered a moderate. Looking around at the political landscape,

he
might lean toward one of his new acquaintances and ask "how did the, a,
Socialist Pahty get so strong in only, a, fohty yeahs? And why in, a,

God's
name is Teddy ovah theah with them?"

Yes. Are you a dittohead borg?

Also, aren't you also one of the people complaining about the tone and
profusion of off-topic posts?

He's a multi-headed dittohead borg, actually. I've plonked him.

"Paul" gut-hooked you, John. He's one of the regular right-wing
buttskis, with a "new" identity.

And you know little about artillery forward observers! " Can you imagine a
democrat today saying "Ask what you can do for your country?" Hit pretty close
to home to have caused such a reaction from jps (and you, obviously)!
