2. I wish I could get gas for $1.99. It is $3.49 where I live.

4. JFK was GREAT! Understood 'Progressive Government' made the country 'Great.'

Pruneface and the Trickle-Down crowd, however...

6. K&R....By 1960's we were already behind all of Europe for providing health care, but we provide 55%

of medical research... Progressive govt. made this country great... not centrist govt.... I can't tell you how much I enjoyed hearing this.... Thank you...

7. Almost gut-wrenching to watch

considering how this country treats his legacy. I also clicked on "Barry Goldwater reacts to JFK's death" and it should be required viewing for every politician-of every stripe-to see what true respect and class were all about.

9. We all need to watch that video again.

The assassination of Kennedy was the beginning of the decline of our country. We never achieved the greatness that he promised. It has been downhill every since November 22, 1963 -- the Day That Shall Live In Infamy.

10. Oops. JFK going under the bus...

...with that "racist" FDR any minute now.

Who will STAND and FIGHT for THIS American Majority?
JFK did!!!

You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.

Solidarity!
