Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

This letter ran already a few weeks ago, but I believe it is so important, I am having it run again:

“It is the paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise revenues in the long run is to cut rates now.”

“When consumers purchase more goods, plants use more of their capacity, men are hired instead of laid off, investment increases and profits are high. Corporate tax rates must also be cut to increase incentives and availability of investment capital.”

“We need a nation of minutemen.” “Citizens who are not only prepared to take up arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as a basic purpose of their daily life, and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom.”

Many will credit these quotes to President Trump, others to Ronald Reagan. No! These statements were made by President John F. Kennedy.

Add his greatest quote, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country,” and you have the essence of Kennedy, whom Democrats consider one of America’s greatest presidents. However, if anyone in todays woke-DEI dominated Democratic Party dared to utter the above statements, they would be driven out of today’s Democratic Party.

When the Bay of Pigs military excursion failed, Kennedy accepted full responsibility. “President Kennedy has stated from the beginning that as president he bears sole responsibility for the events of the past few days He has stated it on all occasions and he restates now so that it will be understood by all.”

Compare that to Biden’s comments on America’s most humiliating military defeat in history, the withdrawal from Afghanistan, where Biden had the audacity to state. “The extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravery and selfless courage of the United States military and our diplomats, and intelligence professionals.”

One additional Kennedy quote that’s very pertinent in todays divided America: “Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.”

Today’s Democrats have strayed far from the Kennedy doctrine, preferring to play the race and victim cards whenever challenged.

Kennedy could not run, let alone be elected, as a Democrat in today’s ultra left Socialist Democratic Party. Like his nephew Robert F. Kennedy Jr., he would have been driven out of the party.

Kennedy had flaws; he was a womanizer. However, unlike members of todays woke, DEI, Democratic Party, he loved America and her working men and women. With his determination to make America great, he would have been a perfect fit in today’s “new” Republican Party.

I am old enough to remember Kennedy well, and I consider him the father of the current MAGA movement.

If you are an old line Democrat, consider what your party has become. It no longer believes in American greatness and is determined to destroy Kennedy’s vision for America. Kennedy and Trump were very similar.
