Re: The danger's of a liberal mind.
jimonica,
American politics has not shifted right, the whole landscape has shifted left. You and I have debated this sorta previously, as you continue to claim that this Administration is bordering on fascism. Here are some JFK quotes, if you teleported him to today he would be a conservative, and in fact his ideas would be the same as many of today's Republicans . . .
"We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed."
"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country." - (yes, very well known, but a decidedly conservative principle)
Followed by, but rarely noted, "My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." - (very much our way or the highway)
"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 the success of liberty." - (here he sounds like what harmonica, CJY and PW2 would call a warmonger)
"Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life." - (sounds like some NRA wacko, no?)
The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission. - (also sounds warmongerish)
When you have seven percent unemployed, you have ninety-three percent working. - Kennedy (sounds like Bush defending our current Economic strength. Not a conservative quote per se, but I thought it was ironic considering the latest attempts to blast the state of the economy by Democrats)
Yes, these are cherry picked to prove my point. No need to mention that . . . 8)
