individuals; then simply doing a 'job'. Things like a bring a Passion

Since you said "I guess" you acknowledge you ignorance.

None of the comments you appended,
from you own questionable bias has
anything to do with what I said and do
not answer the question ask.

The office of the president is a distractive function,
the speeches quoted were political in nature.
Not in keeping with the proper performance of his office.

Would he have been reelected?
I wonder.
He did reduce taxes, possibly for the wrong reasons,
we will never know.
He was not a deity, nor an exceptional man.
His fame came from being assonated!
Not a satisfactory way to make a mark in history.
IMO

As for 'roger' last three lines:
* Do you suppose JFK was shot for mouthing off?
* If he had not said those things, would he still be alive?
* Would he have been elected for a second term?

'roger' evidently subscribes to the "False" Idea of the OWLES.
That it is their Duty-In-Life to Tear Down America in Words and Deads.
To Attack America's Dead Heros and Public Leaders like JFK.

The only attack was yours. Unwarented and unnecessary.
JFK was not and is not a Hero! He is DEAD!

You should read more about his service in WWII.. perhaps the book PT-109?
He was a war hero, more than we can say about our last two presidents
(including the current one).

It was his speaches I addressed, not his service record.
He did indeed loose his ship to a Japanese
Warship and managed to save the crew.
I have heard the story, and seen the movie.

But being assinated did not make him a hero.

Clinton, avoided service and was largely disrespected for it.
Bush (current) served in a manner that was not sterling, but he did serve.
I can't say I approve of either's conduce relative to the military,
but President Bush is at least well liked!

Again, this has nothing to do with the question I ask!

No more nits....

Correct. Being "assinated" would have made him a homo. Which he was
not, by any means. He had sex with more women than either Bill or
Hillary wanted to.

Clinton, avoided service and was largely disrespected for it.
Bush (current) served in a manner that was not sterling, but he did serve.

How about you? Did you "serve" more or less than either Bush Sr. or
Bush Jr.? OR did you "serve" as much as Clinton?

The FAQ says there should be a radio theme to the posting, so:

Question: here in NH, I've been keeping my scanner handy when the prez
contenders come to visit. Anyone else doing so?

I did.

You can do so also by doing a google using the search terms

jfk pt-109 incompetent

Just stick with the mainline links, such as the one from NBC, or from
the guy who was on the PT boat with him.

And to his credit, he got the USA going into space. I think he was a
good guy, and he had a healthy libido. He was also smart enough to know
that lowering taxes stimulates the economy. Democrats now have gone
far, far away from JFK's Democrats. That is why they are going the way
of the dodo.

And now, to be in line with the intent of this newsgroup (speaking of
space), does anyone here use azimuth-only antennas for satellite use?
I'm trying to, and ZERO success. I hear them, but so far, nada. Tips
please? Followup here, or reply directly (but read the PureMail message
at the bottom here!!).

From what I can tell these days, there are only a couple dozen guys
actually using the sats. True?

All the best, and 73,

I would have to Answer Your Question: Most Certainly YES !

Kennedy was a fascinating figure --
--basically groomed from birth by a scheming father for the presidency,
--a womanizer,
--the visionary that sent us to the moon and started the Peace Corps,
--and the sort of legend that can only be made by dying young.

However, Kennedy also gave us LBJ,
--who gave us the welfare state that has arguably destroyed the family
structure of black Americans over the last 35 years,
--who ramped up the Vietnam War,
--and didn't try to win it -- betraying the trust of our servicemen,
--and giving credence to a knee-jerk anti-war movement that persists
(though times have changed) to this day.

A "knee-jerk" anti-war movement? The Vietnam war lasted 15 years (25 years
if you count the advisors sent in the 50's), about ten years longer than
WWII. The war started while I was a young child playing with toys in my
backyard and I was able to join the military as a young adult before the war
ended. Any response in the latter years of that war (the period with the
most wide-spread peace movement) could hardly be described as "knee-jerk."

No, Dwight, I agree with your assessment of the Vietnam war.

The knee-jerk anti-war movement I'm speaking about is the one currently
hampering our efforts to eradicate terrorism, that is funded to a large part
by nostalgic nam-era activists.

What do you mean didn't try to win it? You stupid sonofabitch. Where'd
you pick up that useless piece of information? Recite your little
schpeel to the thousands of GI's wounded in Nam and the thousands more
with psychological scars. They'd kick your little faggot white bread
ass back to you higher institute of learning they never got to go to
because they were forced to ship out 2 months after graduating high
school.

What in the **** are you talking about? You weren't even alive during
Nam little fella. If it wasn't for that anti war movement we would
still be pumping lives and money into Vietnam and you'd be dead right
now because as soon as you were 18 they would have shipped your ass
over there and then shipped it back in a body bag 6 months later.


JMO,

Better to keep your mouth shut then to let everyone know how clueless
