We lost a true hero, President John F. Kennedy

Let's not turn this into a conspiracy theory thread or political debate. It truly was a sad day in American history and one that will never be forgotten.

    I have a respect for history and good deeds but I have an issue with anyone glorified by death. He was no saint nor were many of things he carried out, and death doesn't give us angel wings. As Malcom X once said, the chickens came home to roost.
    CONservative governMENt

    Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

    This is NOT intended as conspiratorial.

    I just thought, in honor of his legacy, some people on here might want to get a better understanding of what - specifically - about JFK's politics was so discomforting to some.

    Evidence of Revision Part 2 - The Why of It

    This is about an hour and a half, and pretty much the entire thing is just clips of Kennedy talking \ giving speechs.

    In it you will here him call for "peace" about two hundred times.
    You will here him chastise the Steel industry for not putting the good of the country first.
    You will here him insinuate that the Catholic church has too much influence on the educational system.
    You will here him talk about organized crime and how he wants to remove it from politics.

    There is a shitload of information in here, and I'm pretty sure this part (part2) stays away from any direct conspiratorial accusations ... it is just showing you his intentions ... so i feel i'm complying with the wishes of the OP.

    TY.

    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    I actually do too. Still, JFK deserves respect no matter what one's opinion is. Any president, regardless of how well liked or disliked deserves respect. I just think that George W. Bush may be the exception.
