I think part of the allure of JFK is the “what if?” thinking. If he’s not killed, maybe we don’t get the Civil Rights Bill, which was putting his re-election in jeopardy. Maybe we get Barry Goldwater instead.
Him and his whole family as some wholesome example of civic duty is a full on lie and the family was as dirty as any of them.Not a fan of "Abraham, Martin and John", I take it?
I think it's funny when people get their panties in a twist about personalities from eons ago. JFK has been cold in the ground since well before I was born and whatever political influence that came from his presidency has been over for at least 40 years.
And if I'm fair? I had to catch myself doing the same thing. Personally, I think Stevie Ray Vaughn is wildly overrated and boring, but if people dig him, hey, cool. No need for me to take a dump on their Lucky Charms.
Teddy was a candidate in 1980 and was a "pillar" of the Senate until he died. The kids were holding office into the 1990's.Not a fan of "Abraham, Martin and John", I take it?
