JFK was different from today’s Democrats
About President John F. Kennedy: 1) He supported the manned space program and the space race. (Now we pay the Russians to take us to space.) 2) He supported a tax cut. 3) He was pro-life. 4) He backed the private heath care system. 5) He supported private church schools.
I did not leave the Democratic Party — it left me and President Kennedy.
