primitive embraces nanny state

Quote from:

"Ask not what your country can do for you"

What would the fallout be if a Democratic candidate aimed that statement at its Democratic base today?

2. What did you do when JFK said that?

5. I wouldn't be born for at least another decade, but I never understood the quote.

I see it as one of, if not the most, famous of all Kennedy quotes. But I never understood it.

As a Democrat, I've always felt that the precise question people should ask (and should base their votes on) is "Ask what your country can do for you".

Alan Grayson said the Government should solve peoples' problems. I agree with him.

Always refreshing to see a primitive come out and clearly state what all them them actively believe.

It scares the hell out of me there are people out there who feel like that AND they are allowed to vote.

Public school's greatest gift to the left: it creates entitlement parasites with no sense of history beyond their last welfare check.

That is a mind numbing statement. Like the proverbial bolt from the blue. A wet dead fish to the face, slap!
That particular DUmmie reminds me of a cave man joke I heard the other day.

Definition of a Neolithic vegetarian~ One who cannot hunt, fish or trap so they avoid the providers and sit about the cave eating dandelions and putting on airs of superiority in denial of the fact that they are worthless to the whole.

Well, there's a surprise.  DUmmy Egalitariat wants everything delivered to him without having to expend any effort on his own behalf.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

There's two quotes by Kennedy the primitives always ignore, even the most Kennedyite of them.

That one--"ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country."

And then the one about how it's America's destiny to bear any burden, pay any price, so that others in the world may enjoy the blessings and fruits of freedom and liberty.

I dunno why the primitives always forget these two--they're after all Kennedy's most famous statements.

Well, I think DUmmie Egalitariat stumbled on a core truth there, Frank:  The DUmmies just can't comprehend them.

JFK would be called a far right extremist by today's democrat party.

Egalitariat, the reason you don't understand it is because it was code, a dog whistle to the Teahadists.

I'm beginning to suspect the egalitarian primitive's a mole, trying to compel the primitives to think.

A futile task, trying to do that, compelling the primitives to think.

You realize thinkin' and primitive are a contradiction in terms, right?

The last time my toaster broke I just opened a new checking account and they gave me one.
