The 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination had me thinking: They just don't make Democrats like they used to. In Kennedy's time, when a Democratic Senator, Representative or president swore an oath to uphold and defend the United States Constitution, he meant it. Today, those who actually do defend the constitution are condemned by today's Democratic Party as dangerous extremists or even terrorists. Obama's Internal Revenue Service targeted for harassment activist groups who threatened his vision of America by educating Americans on the Constitution's original intent. Obama's Defense Department has labelled Tea Party activists enemies of the state and threatened punishment against servicemen and women who dare to affiliate with such groups. None dare call this "McCarthyism." Well, not quite no one. I have no difficulty calling it McCarthyism, although that might be unfair to McCarthy/Michael Costello, Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Would JFK identify with today's Democrats?
