Proud to be a liberal - John F. Kennedy said it best:
...if by a liberal they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties..if that is what they mean by a "liberal" then I am proud to be a liberal.

7. Mark me as 'Proud to Be Liberal." Also, mark me as 'Proud to Be a Kennedy Democrat.'
JFK used every moment as President to keep the peace and to make ours a stronger nation and this a better world.

8. Great read
Does anyone here have the audio version? or where to find it? I have found one place but the click on is a dead end.

9. This is a great quote.
Does it strike anybody else as sad that this is almost half a century old?

Maybe I'm just depressed 'cause I'm sick, but who is embracing liberalism today? Who is standing up to the fascist bullies, who is denouncing the inhumanity that is rampant in our once-great nation?
