Was the Jesus of the Left, John F. Kennedy more right wing or left wing?

Believed that a strong military is the best path to peace

Was for cutting taxes to stimulate economic growth

Opposed racial quotas and other such "positive discrimination,"

Was against unrestricted abortions


Who does this sound like?

I have listed what are four beliefs of John F. Kennedy. Of course we judge people based off the temperaments of their time, but nevertheless, he sounds more like a Republican to me.
 
Yea, I read a good piece on how JFK was pretty much a republican.... and that's why he was so popular with everyone

JFK would have been kicked out of the Democrat Party by now.
 
Oh Good God. Everyone knows it's OBAMA who's "Jesus." JFK is more like the holy ghost.

President Reagan was as Right wing as Right wing can get.

You're fear mongering, for lack of any argument.

He was a moderate democrat just like Clinton.
 
It seemed that JFK had little in common with the modern left. First of all, he HATED socialism/communism, like most people who have listened to accurate assessments of its failures, and simply watching the results of it, as billions(with a b) suffer(ed) under its oppression.

He was FAR more warlike that many on the left realize, and he brought the world closer to nuclear devastation that anyone else, ever! What's worse, that he created the conditions that led directly to that dangerous nuclear showdown, when he repeatedly made attempts to kill or overthrow Castro. The Bay of Pigs fiasco was the last straw, that sent Castro into the arms of the Soviets, where he agreed to allow medium range nukes on his land, in return for their support and protection. All those facts are conveniently omitted from the public record by the democrats and the media.
