Fifty-two years ago today, John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, at the age of 46, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.
Here's what was distributed in the Dallas area on the days that preceded his visit to that fateful city on November 22, 1963:
Fifty-two years later, we've learned nothing and we've not progressed past the sort of murderous hatreds that killed the young president and left his wife a widow and his two young children fatherless.
A few days ago, a far right blog featured a comment by one of its favored commenters that said this about the current Democratic President of the United States:
Every time O opens his mouth, he makes himself less and less believable. He is the laughing stock
of the world…………and so are we for having elected him! For the free world to have any chance of survival, we need to get rid of him NOW, and being as we “can’t” impeach him, then a hit man, whatever…..one life in exchange for the rest of the world would be a bargain. I know what that sounds like and can hardly believe I’m saying it, but given the thousands who have been killed and millions who have been displaced, his death would be nothing. Also, the stronger ISIS gets, the more nuts will join around the world because it encourages them.
You have to believe this has been considered in some circles in D.C., perhaps even the CIA or our military? But if it did happen,
- (to finish the above…sorry!) it would make him a Martyr and they would make him like Martin Luther King and name streets after him!
Kid says:
Mal, do you really want barack hussein obama boulevards and buildings and schools all over America? ;-)- I’d rather see a military coup. Take him and biden and toss them out on their ears. Put Ryan in for the next 14 months
What is in the heart of people who are so consumed with roiling hatred that they wish to murder our current president and leave his wife a widow and his two daughters fatherless? Where are the people of good will to say STOP! ENOUGH! Are they, too, so filled with poisonous hatred that they would advocate committing treason against their own country, the United States? It appears that they are, since the comment went unchallenged and was left standing .
Scurrilous cowards.
Fifty-two years ago ignorance, hatred, and spite killed a U.S. president. Thankfully, these past 7 years, the Secret Service has been able to thwart the many threats to President Obama's life, but that doesn't deter treacherous villains from expressing their desire to see President Obama murdered. These are the same people who fear that Muslims and Islam will destroy our way of life. Meanwhile it is they who hope for and plot the murder of our American president, an unspeakable crime that would plunge our country into chaos. Are they really that stupid to not understand this?
Fifty-two years later, we have learned nothing, except, perhaps, who is our real enemy.
