JFK would be a republican today !

JFK would be a republican today !

+1

I have said it before, If JFK were alive today and gave his "ask not" speech in public the left would tar and feather him just before they hanged him!

[briarpatch]

Thats funny!!!  they misspelled FOOLS. 

[lakota]

then-dumba$$es and now-still dumba$$es.

That's a funny picture; I like it. Truth be told, those old Klansmen - and their modern-day counterparts? -  are far more likely to be Conservative Republicans. RMN's Southern Strategy worked, and worked well. The civil rights plank in the Dem Party's platform in 1948 unsettled the Klukkers, and the party's support in the mid-sixties of the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, and desegregation in general drove them to the Republican party... that's why you see the south painted red in elections.

JFK could not run for President today. He was a womanizer and the press would crucify him during the nomination campaign, especially if he ran as a Republican.

The real problem with the situation as you discribe was that one party out exploited the other party. It was not for the welfare of those of color but for the "vote", to continue into socialism from which the coffers of the taxpayer could be opened for the benefit of those in position to receive.
It may even be argued that the life destroying gettos, managed and cultured by the one party, far out weigh the rantings of an insignificant klan.

Not quite professor. The democrat party was, is and will always be the party of racism. They have simply changed their tactics.

yep. the democrats are still slave holders.  the republicans are the ones who want blacks to get off their butts and get an education and go to work.

Lakota, you are so correct.

yt3, I am going to give you a brief histroy lesson.  Republicans in Congress, with a Republican President, freed the slaves.  Democrats in Southern State legislatures passed racist laws to keep blacks down, called "black codes".  Republicans in Congress, under a Republican President, ratified the 13th Amendment [ending slavery, by the way].     Republicans in Congress passed the first Civil Rights Act around 1868.      The first school was integrated in the 1950s under a Republican President named Eisenhower.    The Civil Rights Act of 1965, although supported by LBJ, was delayed in the US Senate, by a filibuster led by persons named James Eastland, James Byrd, and Strom Thurmond [all Democrats], and eventually passed by the Senate when Republicans broke the filibuster.

BUGEYE, anytime, my friend.   As long as we hold high the torch of liberty, its shining light shall repel the darkness of liberalism and its tyranny.

  Margaret Sanger founded Planned Parenthood for the very purpose of eliminating many blacks and limiting their population growth.  See some of Margaret Sanger's quotes..
    http://www.dianedew.com/sanger.htm
 
      The Democrats are still strongly supporting Planned Parenthood in it's "take no prisoners" quest, which falls extrordinarily heavy upon the black population..   Amazingly, many uninformed black people support the eugenics based, racial culling activities of Planned parenthood.
    ....Reminds one of the few uninformed gun owners here who vote against their own interests..by supporting the voracious gun grabbers of the democrat party !           
 
  BTW:  Perhaps you have already seen the similarities...Adolph Hitler used Sanger's book on "Eugenics" as one of his handbooks for creating his Aryan "super race" and eliminating other racial "undesireables"...

  What provoked that gang of misfits to take off their sheets, print up a big sign...  and reappear as a smiling bunch of rednecks ?

Nah!! As long as he ran as a demoncrat he'd be ok on that score...the left LOVES their own skirt chasers, they just hate the ones on the right. But to advocate not holding out out your hand for a "freebie"........that would get him crucified!

   Hey!  Not all democrats are "skirt chasers"...Barney Frank is getting "married"...then, there's Jim Mcgreavy..
   
   On second thought, some Democrats are roaring "skirt chasers" ....they gather in bunches at NOW meetings..

Yup! That's what I recall from my history lessons in college! Southern Democrats were the most evil rascists to be found anywhere after the Civil War!
