64. You've littered this thread with enough distortions of fact, logical fallacies, and the like as it
is. There was no "personal attack" on you - you got caught trying to twist one minor speech JFK gave to the Liberal Party of New York into the false historical claim that he was a full blown ideological liberal.

He wasn't.

Are you aware that during his administration he privately referred to liberals as "the honkers"? That he despised Eleanor Roosevelt, deliberately packed Adlai Stevenson off to the UN as an expression of the contempt he had for him, and insisted that his cabinet have a strong contingent of conservative Republicans in it? That he signed the largest tax in modern American history up until 1981, and launched the United States on the largest peacetime military buildup ever?

He was no conservative, but he wasn't a liberal, either. He was a centrist, a moderate Democrat.

Educate yourself, then get back to us. Thanks. :thumbsup:
