JFK - remember this great Irishman and the land he conquered

[_aj_]

I always thought Kennedy was shot once and the bullet went thru his head.  But I watched some footage of a reconstruction of the event and it showed that a bullet passed thru his back and into the guy sitting in front of him. Is this true?  Were there two bullet holes?

Not a single fuck is given if he was shot once or 15 times. What matters is what the democrats were able to ram down our throats after. If this was a Reichstag event, it worked.

Kennedy was just a common man who rose to power by his own efforts. The American dream.
Just because his dad was a bootlegging, millionaire, British ambassador, manipulator with friends in high and sleazy places did not influence JFK's election victory. He did it on his own. While smoking, drinking and double teaming Marlin Munroe.  What a guy.

Utter BS. His dad bought and paid for the whole thing. JFK was a Potemkin candidate, nothing much to him. And he was probably a disappointment to old Joe, who really wanted to boost his oldest son to the presidency. He had the temerity to get himself killed.

Oh God. Another intra-isles slapping fight. I keep having to ask my Irish wife WTF you are talking about.

On point: JFK was a tax-cutting, NRA member who's father bought his election by making sure that every person that had died in Chicago in the previous 150 years "voted" in the '60 election. He was a political man, but a naïf as a CinC. He almost blundered into war with the soviets twice, and was consistently hoodwinked by Kruschev at every turn. The only thing that cemented him as a liberal icon was the bullet that took half his head off. Had he finished out his first term, he would have been a lame single-term president with no legacy, like Carter. It was his death that led to LBJ packing the courts and passing almost every liberal wet dream.

Irish or not, he was a POS.

Lol. I need to read up on Ireland/Scotland/England. Lot of white folks fightin round them parts.

No doubt Joe Jr. was groomed to be THE son of Joe Sr. to lead the next generation of Kennedy's and his death  in that plane was a massive loss to the family...

But to call JFK a "disappointment" to his old man?? C'mon, where do you come up with this?

A "disappointment" in that he wanted his oldest in that slot. Joe Sr. was a miserable fuck.

That I wouldn't deny.

Losing his first son like that had to be devastating but I have no doubt Joe Sr. had those qualities.

All of Joe's boys have a "Final Destination" feel about them like the old man made a pact with Abbadon.

Nothing but the grandson of immigrants from the irish republic...just a man but an Irishman with great drive and ambition who became a leader. A great example to all of us.

Who would think that a small country in Europe who were persecuted by the British for centuries could produce such magnificent scholars like Yeats or Bram Stoker or send men to America who would come off the boat as peasants yet infiltrate the police force and political rings or every major city in the United States. What other people have been able to achieve such greatness? The irish even BUILT these cities. These are the hands that built America. Nobody else comes close!!!!!!

all liquor contraband and Hollywood whores

1/4 of Ireland is under foreign occupation. I have nothing against Protestants (I am not confirmed in any religion) but it baffles me how loyal some of them (like the sectarian Orange Order) can be at defending and maintaining British rule. Perhaps economically they are better off that way but to have a sense of pride in being British rather than Irish because you live in the north of Ireland seems strange to me and this is coming from someone who is half English.

I dont give a damn about his stupid ass and never will just spoiled rich kid. If you were a poor white guy would you of reached his level? Nope.
