Being a Democrat Is Not Cool Anymore

There was a time when being a Democrat was cool. With President Kennedy, the Democrat Party had turned a corner. The past was left behind. The preservation of our freedom, and our culture, with Democrats finally beginning to welcome African Americans into the fold, became all important. Kennedy Democrats saw the future and jumped in with both feet. JFK was the personification of cool, young, handsome, intelligent, articulate and he loved America. He was a veteran who served his country in time of war. Kennedy was willing to do what was necessary to protect America, yet he understood war and the hazard of the slouching, uncontrolled, unchecked descent into war.
