JFK on Mormons

[YOhio]

Nice little video. I love JFK's voice.

That's a great find. I wish I had had access to this while in school. Some of the Kennedy worshipers that taught at Marist didn't believe that Kennedy would ever waste his time in hate-filled Salt Lake City.

And he does sound like Mayor Quimby, doesn't he?

One more reminder that it is the conservatives that truly hate Mormons. Ironically.

Mormons keep hoping there will eventually be a reach-around. They are sadly mistaken.

I disagree. There are no true conservatives in politics anymore, except maybe Hunter. There are only liberals (Edwards) liberal-lights (the Repub candidates) and socialists (Mrs. Clinton, Obama)

I'm not sure how you can think that when the rest of the world considers American politics to be far right (R) and center-right (D). Are you just comparing the current crop to Reagan?

I am comparing the current crop to Reagan.

I don't care what the rest of the world thinks of us, but I will say that I think the rest of the first world countries are on the left fringe, so everything to them seems to be on the right.

Yea that's true. There are some stupid things going on in Europe due to their mindless tolerance of intolerance, which is certainly a liberal ideal.

I'm of the opinion that there is a time and a place to be tolerant and then there is the time and a place to kick ass, ya know?

Word. Tolerance is one of the more important virtues in a liberal society (that includes the US), but when tolerance leads you to consider instituting Sharia law or installing Muslim foot-washing basins in public restrooms it's gone too far.
