Both men were American nationalists and strongly anti-Communist. It is interesting to note that JFK seems closer to Reagan than any Democratic since Carter.RICHARD K.

Certainly at first he thought that Khrushchev was a rational person and could be negotiated with in a rational fashion.<br /><br />We came the closest to nuclear war with the USSR that I am aware of.<br /><br />I didn't like Nixon at all.<br /><br />I thought that JFK was shaping up as President quite well when he was assassinated. I don't accept in the least that it was Oswald who did it. Trouble was, no one involved in the Warren Commission had the least desire to know who was actually behind the assassination.<br /><br />JFK was not a liberal. His brother Bobby was.LarryOldtimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811006386363706079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-67518725424133020262010-11-20T00:37:51.066-08:002010-11-20T00:37:51.066-08:00I was a young man newly married and starting to pl...I was a young man newly married and starting to plan our family with my wife back then. As you said about the people of those times I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. I wish we could bring back the values of those times but I also know that will not happen. Maybe after the current financial situation runs its course the young people of today will gain the experience to realize that those old values are golden and we can get back on the right track again.Bob Devinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13618874889804348711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-64212155158299058712010-11-19T15:35:47.487-08:002010-11-19T15:35:47.487-08:00Alan Caruba said...

I remember someone bursting through the classroom door and telling my teacher who started sobbing. At the time I did not understand but I knew it must have been something serious if it made my teacher cry.<br /><br />Later I watched as most of the men in our family and town being drafted and going off to war. My preteen and early teen years saw the war protest and the horrible treatment of the boys who did make it home.<br /><br />I have a scrapbook with the front page of our newspaper that reads "Nixon Steps down, Ford takes office.<br /><br />I have read a lot of books on JFK and too have wondered how our world would be if he had not been shot. <br /><br />Yes, there has been a lot of history in 47 years I never had a thought our America would be in the shape she is in today. It has taken a lot of years for me to wake up.Mamma Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781533611079940480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-65096210801322318032010-11-19T13:51:57.782-08:002010-11-19T13:51:57.782-08:00The chronological correction has been made.

W. Bush. The presidential swing back to Democrats occurred 12 years after Regan was first elected.<br /><br />It is also important to note that although we swing our government back and forth between Democrats who expand domestic programs and criticize foreign activity of US military. and Republicans who expand military programs and criticize waste in domestic programs; both parties are far more adept at increasing government spending in their pet areas than they are at reducing the waste they campaign against.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026602026490038278noreply@blogger.com
