By the way,,, think about that famous JFK quote... "Ask not what your
country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" Sounds like
something today's extreme right wingers would say....

If the notion of service and sacrifice in the public benefit, of
participation in a cause far greater than one's self alone, is the province
of the "extreme right wingers", then I say we need more of them.

The fact is that if JFK were to emerge alive from the ether tomorrow,
ignorant of the events of the last forty years, and were to look around at
the writings and policies of the major parties, with no names or faces to
guide him, he would be welcomed by and feel at home with any group of
republicans, be considered a moderate, and wonder to himself "where the
hell are all the Democrats, and how in God's name did the Socialist Party
get so strong in only forty years"?
