''Free men... standing up to their responsibilities.''

[Octafish]

"Terror is not a new weapon," the young president tells the world body. "Throughout history, it has been used by those who could not prevail either by persuasion or example. But inevitably, they fail either because men are not afraid to die for a life worth living, or because the terrorists themselves came to realize that free men cannot be frightened by threats and that aggression would meet its own response. And it is in the light of that history that every nation today should know; be he friend or foe, that the United States has both the will and the weapons to join free men in standing up to their responsibilities."

The above comes courtesy of Remembering JFK in an Age of Terror from The Wall Street Journal, which continues to foist the Big Lie that Oswald acted alone.

10. JFK was unafraid of his impending death.

As University of Georgia Law Professor Donald E. Wilkes writes: About two weeks before the assassination, an FBI informant recorded Joseph Adams Milteer speak of an assassination attempt from a high-rise building, using a high-powered rifle, and a patsy to take the fall. And Kennedy still appeared in public. I believe a Bush, on the other hand, would retreat to Crawford for the month of August.

PS: Just realized I didn't credit you for reminding me of the quote in the thread that got moved to the DUngeon, where few will see it. Thank you, pampango.

EDIT: Just realized I didn't credit TBF, either. Thank you, Friends, for giving a damn.
