    the Dems have moved almost 100% from their often quoted

    JFK statement of ..."ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country". Listened to a lot of C-span this morning and everything was about what the "country" should do for a variety...ranged from helping LGBT people pay their house payments to paying for child care.

    The modern Democrat Party bears no resemblance to the Democratic Party of JFK.

    The LGBT-QRSSTDPDQXYZ crowd is admitting they are inferior and incapable of taking care of their own damn selves?

    I have always hated that phrase. Federal government do the few jobs the Constitution stipulates to you. Leve me the hell alone.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Yet some members here see those of us that faithfully follow, and live up to JFK's words, as a threat to the country and say we are working to ensure its downfall.

    So you see, as per you own example, it is not just the Democrat party that has become unhinged. Plenty of Republicans are also equally unhinged and on the lunatic fringe.

    I am a JFK Democrat and so has my kin before me, and my sons and daughter after me. We are loyal to the United States, ask what we can do for our country, and have done.

    Yet there are radical and hateful Republicans that spit on me because I am not their kind of conservative.

    ...but they are not man enough to say it to my face.

    ********************************************
    Those two members are @MisterVeritis and @AdmiralAkbar.
    So...just understand, if you quote JFK, there are two members here in particular who hate him and say anyone like him is actively trying to destroy their beloved country. For someone that professes to hate Chinese Communism, they sure sees eye-to-eye with the CHICOM attitude.

    This is how perverted and profane American politics has gone.

    There are some who have gone so far right, they are now rubbing shoulders with the left and agree with them.

    1. The left and Communists hate veterans who faced America's enemies in battle. These Republicans also hate them if they are not in their political party.

    2. The left and Communists hate conservatives who put personal responsibility ahead of government handouts and identity politics. These Republicans also hate them if they are not in their party.

    3. There is much, much, more.

    With these radical Republicans, it is all about being in their party and nothing else matters.

    Love of country does not matter to them.
    Shedding blood on foreign soil for this country does not matter to them.
    Being a lifetime conservative means nothing to them.

    Nothing means anything to them except being a Republican. Nothing else matters to them at all.

    ...sound a lot like Mao, don't they.

    Party loyalty ahead and over everything else, including their country....no matter what. Mao would be proud.

    It is a fools choice.

    We have a Constitution that lays out clearly what the federal government is to do. Live by that.

    Liberalism is a selfish belief. They pretend to be out for the common good but it is actually what they wanted and saying they want it for everyone disguise the theft.

    Conservatives do things for the good of the country.
