Ask not...

"And for the support of this Declaration, and a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."

It has often been said that yesterday's Democrats look nothing like today's socialists. For example, JFK. How would JFK fit in with today's "Democrat" party? He wouldn't. He would not even make it to first base. Many think JFK was our last true Democrat. I know I do. One who understood the economy. A war hero, who understood our national security.

His Vice President at that time, did not. In fact, years after Kennedy's death, Jacki Kennedy told the press, her husband feared an LBJ presidency. JFK thought LBJ would make a lousy President. And he was right.

LBJ was the first in a long line of lemons for the Democrat Party. In fact, LBJ was the start of the Democrat Party turning into something much more vile and harmful. The progression has gone from liberals, to progressives, to socialists, and now communists anarchists. Johnson, Carter (the most normal of the group, but still a lousy President), Clinton, and Obama. Now we have Biden in the wings, with Harris right behind him. 

I have said many times, Biden does not frighten me. It is who is behind Biden that frightens me. The fact Biden voters burned down part of the city I grew up in, frightens me. The fact that the greenies who support Biden, want to take away our oil and leave us in the dark, frightens me. The fact peaceniks who support Biden, who want to defund our police and military, frightens me. NONE OF THIS - would have happened under John F. Kennedy. 

By far and away, Kennedy's most famous line while in office was, "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." Wow. Every time I hear that, or read that, it still sends chills up and down my spine. Then what did LBJ leave us? The Great Society. Our first venture into socialism. From Johnson on, every Democrat who followed him took us deeper into that cesspool. Now we have Joe Biden, who wants to give away the store, and everything in it. What can't be given away, will be stolen by the mobs in the streets.

Have we gone too far around the bend with the socialists? Can they ever be redeemed to becoming normal JFK Democrats again? How many socialists today would lay it all down for their country? How many ask, "not what their country can do for them, but what they can do for their country"? Not many, I dare say.

One final thought. And this one goes to the core of our nation. How many socialists today, still believe those immortal words etched in our Declaration of Independence:

"And for the support of this Declaration, and a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."
